I would like to clarify. Do you need to SCROG photoperiod before the flip or 10 days after a flip like 420autoflower said? Everyone says 3-7 days before the flip. So how does it work guys?

I look on photo scrogging as making sure I fill the whole horizontal space or as much as possible, so I start scrogging/training early 3rd-4th node, and spread the plants horizontally until i have almost filled the horizontal space, then flip, pump up the lights, and keep training the plants until either the space is full or stretch stops, then leave them to grow vertically. Some times it works well sometimes I mess around too much... k.i.s.s seems to be the best methodology.

I dont know really, it would have to depend on your end goal with photoperiods. As far as i understand it the 420method is based on autoflowers. My personal grow my photoperiods got a couple weeks under the net before i flipped. But thats just my case.

You super-cropped them?

You super-cropped them?

No, no super crop, i fim topped them at about 16days and tied them down at a 45* angle. Let the branches reach up and dropped the net. For a regular photoperiod scrog grow the general advice i always hear is train your canopy out to fill about 75-80% full canopy coverage under the net and then flip, continuing training under the net for a couple weeks letting it stretch to fill in the rest. After 2-3 wks strain depending when the net is full, you finish flowering letting the colas grow upwards at an even-ish rate. Sorry @420autoflower , didnt mean to hijack your thread. @FastPace this is all readily available info if youre willing to research, which i suggest. The 420method is @420autoflower ’s specific rockwool autoflower scrog program that he has dev loped for autos. If youre looking for regular scrog info for photoperiod strains than there are other threads. I suggest reading this whole thread from page 1 so you have an understanding of the process. The 420method isnt just scrogging, but a combo of Hydroponics in rockwool, heavy defoliation/schwazzing at specific times, as well as SuperCropping and LST and Scrog to achieve a desired result using xxl strains of autoflowers. Hope this helps.

No worries thats what we are all here for! As soon as im set up for it im gonna give the 420method a shot, im just already so invested in soil itll have to wait til im ready and have the extra scratch. The results that @420autoflower gets are amazing and im really surprised it hasnt become the standard. Something about being in rockwool and all the extra stress allows the autos to veg significantly longer. So if youre after the fastest finishing plants this method wont be your thing. Anyway good luck with all you do and grow!

Also make sure you journal your grows on AFN !!!

ViparSpectra LEDs vs HPS Grow Journal - 1 pound harvest! | Grow Weed Easy

by Nebula Haze I recently received an email from a GrowWeedEasy.com reader. The message had only six words. It was a simple question, yet surprisingly hard to answer. “What’s the best cheap grow light?” I remember being obsessed with that question when I first decided to grow cannabis at home in...

www.growweedeasy.com

A journal comparing VEG/FLOWER cycles difference in LED/HPS

Im having my veg tent 120x240cm in the next grow with 9 Plants:

2 x hortimol 330w led lights
1 x DLI CRI-series 315W CMH + phillips lamp
+ option for 2x 90w lights in the edges

Together input about 1150w lights covering CMH + LED
Should get something like maximum 600-700ppfd almost all around the tent and more in the LED centres if needed.

I got these seeds:

Dutch passion: auto critical orange punch ( 4plants )
Bomb seeds: auto cosmic bomb (4 plants )

Still trying to get: Speedrun seeds Granite haze..... for the run after these.

Thinking about trying half with only Rockwool and half with hydro 40/coco 60

.......

After veg changing them under my 2 x 600w hortimol bigger led lights and flowering room, with 90w bloom plus under canopy lights.

Every plant has scrogg net space something like 80cm x 80cm

Will be covering that here, ( and scrogging them on time and also better so that the nets dont bend this time.... )

WONDERING HOW MUCH CAN I YIELD WHEN HAVING THEM IN DRIP FEED AND ALL TOGETHER IN MY 2 X 4 POT WILMAS WITHOUT A SEPARATE TENT FOR EVERY PLANT ?

ALSO PLANNING TO METER THE PPFD OF THE EDGES OF THE SCROGG AREA IN THE FLOWERING CYCLE IF IM GOING TO ADD MORE OF 90W BLOOM PLUS LIGHTS ON THE EDGES OF THE CEILING.

I counted my cycles go nicely:
4-5 weeks in veg.
Then scrogg them in the flower room, strech them and flower 8-11 weeks .
Then drying for 1-2weeks.

I could possibly get a new harvest ready every 9-12 weeks.
