Introduction

When it comes to maximizing the yield and quality of your cannabis plants, a Scrog (Screen of Green) system is an excellent choice. It's a popular technique that uses a trellis system to promote horizontal growth, resulting in more branches and increased bud sites.

What You'll Need

Setting Up Your Grow Space

Choose a suitable location for your grow space. It should be well-ventilated and protected from light leaks. A grow tent or a designated room in your home or greenhouse works well.

Training Your Plants

After your plants have established their primary root systems, you can start the training process. Gently tie the plants to your trellis rods using soft ties to promote even growth.

When to Start SCROG Training Cannabis

Implementing the Scrog Net

Hang your scrog net on the trellis rods, making sure it's taught and secure. This will be where your plant branches hang and receive light and air.

Lighting and Airflow

Position your lighting system above the net to ensure all branches receive adequate light. Make sure the ventilation system is in place to maintain optimal temperature and humidity levels.

Harvesting

Your cannabis plants will be ready to harvest in about 8-12 weeks, depending on the strain. Use a magnifying glass to check for trichomes on your buds before harvesting.
