If you know the strain and you normally top it I say go for it.

Yes, it also depends on the length of time you plan for the grow and some strains are just too stiff to train easily so be aware of that when chosing what to grow. I have one friend who grows SCROG and he uses the chicken wire for tying down the tops but normally doesn't pinch his due to the extra time needed to regrow the tops as it kind of defeats the purpose of doing it or SOG. IOW, maximum yield in shortest time; as he says. Personally I'm in a perpetual garden using soil for the mother plants and buckets for the clones, which I guess could be called a modified SOG as they sit in a tray all snuggled together...LOL
