What is Screen of Green (SCROG)?
The Screen of Green (SCROG) is a popular cannabis cultivation technique that involves training plants to grow horizontally across a screen, maximizing light exposure and yield.
Benefits of SCROG
- Increased yield: SCROG allows for more bud sites per plant, leading to higher overall harvests.
- Optimized light usage: The even distribution of light ensures every bud receives adequate light, enhancing quality.
- Space efficiency: SCROG requires less space than traditional cultivation methods.
Setting Up for SCROG
1. Choose the right strain: Not all cannabis strains are ideal for SCROG. Look for indica or indica-dominant hybrids that are robust and can handle the training process.
