@edabed that is a support system and not a SCROG. Here is what a proper SCROG looks like:
Pictures of a proper SCROG are hard to see because the canopy is so dense.
The stems are trained out flat on the screen and the bud sites form colas in yours the colas are just supported up right. Train flat next time and you will harvest the difference.

No worries my friend.
So his colas are equal height. Level canopy. Not flat, but level. How is that not a SCROG? I see in the diagrams what you are saying, but that photo at the end of post doesn't show the top canopy. I'm curious, if a SCROG means flat, are the colas actually on the horizontal instead of vertical? That would be weird to me. I'm just curious -- never really started to truly understand SCROG yet.

The problem with a good SCROG is you cannot see anything from the top because it is all overgrown. In a SCROG the idea is to grow the main branches horizontal so that "every" bud site is equally away from the light and grows into a cola. Look at the red circled buds. If during the veg stage these branches were held horizontal to the light at these bud sites; then when flowering started they would all be like the green circled cola. If you look at the branches now they grow upright without the bud sites becoming colas. they are just normal buds. That is the idea behind SCROG.
This shows the idea sorta but it is so far into bloom you cannot seed the branches, I ll keep looking around:
I scroged an auto. I need to look back

Haha yeah thats pretty much what happened to my scrog's...for a week it was proper! LOL But when i put them in i knew 4 foot screens would be wayyyyyy too small to do a proper real scrog. Great pics!

Yeah I always start with good intentions then I hit the vape. Consequently I end up with 1/2 SCROG and 1/2 support system a lot of the time. The plants grow so fast when you need to be working on them.
. I do think that new growers should be taught the difference regardless to my shortcomings.

My belief is that scrogging is the best way to achieve proper canopy management. Spread them buds out, giving prime light, keep that canopy even in height to give a competitive energy distribution between tips fighting for apical dominance, and rewards will be vast. Even if its not perfect, any degree of all of these things will add additional bud!

When a scrog goes very wrong(or right depending on point of view!!) You sure there is a screen in there? LOL (not an entry in this contest)
