Nope but why Dyah say that?

I'm just guessing at two sguare feet per plant would be about 16 plants.

Think x2 450 on each side of tent would be enough coverage for 8 plants in each side? Each 450 watter claims to cover 3.4x4

I've done 4x4 scrogs and had 8 plants. BAD IDEA. If you give um room they will fill it! 5 tops for a 4x4 table sorry, is that what you all are talking about?

So go with a twin set of 6 on each scrog?

Well, I was using a 4x4 flood table. So the scrog fit right on top. I haven't scrogged half a rooom of plants in pots. But I am using tomato cages, I wraped twine through, to make a 3d scrog for each potted plant. Though this requires side lighting to work.

Just remeber that you have to reach in there to scrog and tuck an prune an tuck some more. Make the scrog netting tall enough to get under it or low enough to kneel over it. One side should only be 4 ft. That way you can reach the middle. Hope that helps.

Hey Ronin,

Dyah have a DIY thread for SCROGing? I havnt done it yet and would like to but unsure of the method. I know how to make the screen just not what to do as the plants grow through the mesh.

Tuck stretch tuck. Remove bud sites and branches that aren't getting loads of light. Tgey are a waste of energy that could go to top buds. only little bits at a time. No need to stress them out . Oh and lastly...you have to stay on the tucking til half way through flower. Incase they stretch again. Thats all I got.

That's very helpful Roak. Idk if I have the head room to build a flood table. But I am going to go with a scrog and probably go 15 inches above tops. Twine work well?

I used hemp twine. Its cheap at Wal-Mart. In the craft area. Whatever yiu use just make sure it doesn't have a tendency to fray. Otherwise you'll end up with bits of twine in your buds. And nobody wants that.

Above tops of which...
The pots ?
Or the plants?
If I were doing a scrog like you are talkin about I would place it about 9-12 above the base of the plant. The reason for going lower is you can start the scroging earlier and just tuck the hell out of for a nice even canapy.

Okay and eliminate under foliage as need be? Eliminate lower bud sites for better energy up top?
