First time scrogger

[bigtopsfinn]

Just now got a chance to read through all this

Ok scroggersâ?¦.hereâ??s what Iâ??m trying to get a little feedback on:
Iâ??ll be scrogging for the first time and would like opinions as to the height of the screen.
Between the top of the bucket to the bottom of a 250W HID is 56â?�. The reflector is a real spreaderâ?¦â?¦quite wide. Itâ??s enclosed (got glass) and a 180 cfm exhaust fan. Iâ??m going to make an assumption here: Iâ??m assuming that the light couldnâ??t ever be closer than 12â?� ( thatâ??s not exactly the part I want help withâ?¦.Iâ??ll learn that in practice). Take the 56â?� -12â?� = 44â?� In theory Iâ??ve got 44â?� of grow space. Itâ??s a recirc DWC with bubblers.
The strain is an Indica bagseedâ?¦â?¦.Thatâ??s all that I have to work with. And the variables are infiniteâ?¦..that Iâ??m already aware of.
Iâ??m simply asking for opinions on where would you start given this information. Express it in inches, ratios, rules of thumb, based on height, based on veg time, or whatever your personal approach would be in this situation.
You wonâ??t wear me out with detailâ?¦..Iâ??ve got plenty of time to read. I do appreciate the time and energy that you put into my schooling

Thanks,

I had a chance to grow one of my TW's before I tried scrog, so I had some kind of an idea about the stretch. I vegged to fill the screen 70%. Didn't really care about the height, because first I LST'd and then just set my chicken wire on top of the plants, and tied the screen to my plants' containers (that way the screen stayed around the same height from then on).

I think making your growroom as flexible as possible is the best approach... especially adjusting the height of your light. You could also cut individual screens for each plant, that way you can always turn them, and take them out individually if you have to, etc.

Second link in my sig has my Scrog grow, and I explained it a little better in there. This is where I got a lot of my ideas: http://boards.cannabis.com/closet-ca...ly-ladies.html

Good luck :jointsmile:
