[magnum gom]

Is 9 plants growing in 9 ltr pots sun bathing in a 4x4ft tent too much to scrog?

Hope you guys don't mind the tag, been watching around the place and your opinions would be appreciated

600 w MH with cooled reflector hood
Plants are 22 and 27 days old
Plants are advertised as finishing at a height between 60-90cm
Plants have been topped at the 5th node leaving 8 colas on each plant some 6

I scrogged 4 plants in 3 .5 gallon pots in a 4'×4' tent, and things got pretty hairy up in there. The back plants became increasingly harder to get to, and the canopy got thick as hell! Granted, I could've defoliated more, but it still would've been a hastle. Im not saing it cant be done, but it may get real frustrating in the end. Shit, if you go with it, let me know so I can see how you handle the situation. I might learn a few things, and you may pull it off like a pro! Another thing I wanna mention is that I threw the screen down when the plants were about 12" in height. Let me know what you decide to do!

Cheers for hollering back bro
Sounds like 9 could be too much..
Maybe there's potential for mold problems too, I think for sure the 9th plant would have to be replaced with a dehumidifier.. Needed it last grow to keep humidity under control.
Yeah I saw you write that some were about dropping the scrog on em at 12", I was thinking of doing the same.
You ever heard of any one doing it before??

Not a problem at all, bro. I'm not the most knowledgeable, but I try to help out where I can, to make up for all the assistance the afn fam gives me. On autos, I drop the screen around 8", but that's only because they're on a clock from the very beginning. I guess you could drop the screen on photos before they hit the 12" point, but unless you're needing the extra few inches for vertical space, it's not really necessary because you're able to let them go until the screen is filled before flipping them. The only reason I drop the screen at 8" with autos, is because I want as many of the bud sites as possible at the canopy before the plant starts to flower

Yeah bro seems like a real good community here, real stocked I found it.
Well these are autos that I'm dealing with.
Maybe I'll chuck a screen down and see how far I can take it before the screen gets to full, perhaps Ill have to stop training them along the screen before they've finished stretching and then just let em go up.
I'll keep you posted bro

Sorry to be so late here. Nine plants my hell you are going big. Mad props!!!
I agree with bandit it's going to get hairy. Keep them Lilly popped under the screen for better air flow. I started waiting til they are through the screen and still flexible then bend them and tie um down. You will increase your bid sites and yield imo. It's better then the old way of tucking and you can see what your doing on top of the screen. Think folding instead of tucking. Once the canopy has filled in clean out the under growth. I like to leave fan leaves. I also trim them in stages so as to lessen the stress. I hope this info helps. Hit me up anytime.

Just Saw your message Roark. Decided against the scrog on this indoors but great info especially the tip about tieing them down along the screen to see what your doing. Cheers
