SCROG (Screen of Green) setup and management

SCROG for even light distribution: spread net 20–30cm above pots, thread shoots through 5x5cm mesh and switch to flower at 15–20cm above the net.

SCROG uses mesh/grid for even light distribution. Net 20-30cm above pots, 5x5cm mesh optimal. Vegetative: Thread shoots through mesh, keep under mesh. Flowering stretch: allow shoots to grow 15-20cm above the mesh, then stop. Remove lower shoots (lollipopping). One net per m² for optimum results.
