Hey,

this is something i've just done a few weeks ago, I had a white widow clone in a dwc system and put it into flower a little late as i was waiting for space. first dwc grow and i underestimated how big it was gonna get in the stretch after flicking to 12/12. In an effort to try and control the plant I built a scrog screen and put it on the plant around 7 days after going 12/12.

It's been a real pain, the shoots start getting pretty brittle in flowering, makes it hard to get them where you want them, i broke a couple too. Also as i understand scrog, part of the concept is doing it early enough so the plant grows horizontal and the lower shoots can be made use of, it's highly unlikey your plant will still be limber enough in flower. But that won't really apply as your just after an even canopy. I wouldn't advise doing it unless you really have to (i feel i had to as i only use a 250 hps and with the limited penetration they offer i think most of the budsites would of got inadequate light and LST was out of the question because the DWC gave such crazy branching.

If your just after an even canopy i'd do LST, I think it'll be less work. But if you decide to give scrog a go i'd make the screen holes pretty big so you got more room to train your tough stems through.

JMO Good luck!
hudson88 Reviewed by hudson88 on . scrog during flower quick question. Has anyone used a "scrog" technique after the switch to flower? As in placing a screen over the branches, bending them like doing LST, but during flower? The branches would then try and grow through the screen giving you the same effect as a traditional scrog. I thought doing this method you could flower plants of different heights, put a screen over the top, causing some of the branches to bend, that way it is all an even canopy, at the same height.
