Veg time- Scrog and LST

[bahne]

Hey guys, first post here. Been reading non stop for weeks now though!
Well to start things off- iv'e read pretty much every guide/diy/tutorial I could find on both these methods, but couldn't find much info on veg times.

I am aware that Scrogs require more veg time than a standard grow- is there a specific reason for this? I was assuming it just takes more time for the new arms to grow out and fill the screen.

Would an LST grow also benefit from a lengthened veg time too, for the same reasons?

Reason being, I am stuck on an 11 week time restriction- starting from rooted clones. That will leave me with only 2-3 weeks of vegging at the most (though I will be benefitting from hydro), so i'm wondering what method will get me the greatest yield/results based on that time frame.

I have thought about doing a SOG, but this is my first grow and I don't have anything to take clones off of- so purchasing 20 clones at $10+ a piece doesn't seem very economical.

My grow is in a 2x4 ebb and flow tray (though the actual area I can use is unlimited i.e. the screen can be much bigger if needed). 400 watt hps, with a couple cfl's for support. Planning for 5 or 6 plants since I dont' have the time to veg them very large.

Hoping to here from some experienced members, opinions on what style grow would best suit me would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

This is one of those questions that will ultimately be answered by you.... Because you will get different opinions as to which style of grow would be better....and only you know what you are capable of....

Because my opinion would be to get 1 clone and make it a mother.... This way you won't have to buy clones to do an SOG....but that's just me....
