You should consider SCROG growing

Anyone have any experience or information on using ScrOG for outdoor growing. I have second hand information about folks using ScrOG to get 8 lbs of bud per plant average. They supposedly got 320 lbs from 36 plants. My buddy set one up last year but I have not ventured into his neck of the woods to see how it worked. He used the wire fencing that has the 2" by 4" rectangle openings in a wood frame he built over the plant.

Any details or pictures would be appreciated.

I had not actually considered an outdoor scrog, sounds interesting. I am highly skeptical of the 8lbs from one plant but if grown long enough and with a big enough screen (overall size not individual hole size) it could be possible.
I still SCROG and also do an occasional SOG but the best results for just one plant at a time is SCROG particularly if you have vertical hieght issues.

BTW, my most recent SCROG grow was with T5HO lighting (Sun Blaze 8 bulb 48" fixture). OMG what a beautiful setup. Heat issues are non-existant with this setup. Light is usually just 1" to 2" from bud tops. Gives me 5,000 lumens per square foot of screen area (4ft x 2ft) and total grow hieght of just 48" from the floor to the top of the light fixture. Training the plants can be a bit labor intensive but there is something to be said for hands-on attention to your plants. (you can learn a lot that way)

Anyway thanks for resurecting this thread, T5HO SCROG is my forvorite way to grow at this point in time. Anyone with hieght and/or plant population restrictions should learn all they can about this method.
