A cannabis growing method called Screen of Green is a very effective way to grow large plants in a small space. This technique is also known as Scrog, and it allows you optimal use of your grow room. Even larger strains that used to be prohibitive due to their size, can be grown easily. This method makes it possible to predict the size and to solve the problem of inadequate light penetration.
All plants have to be screened at the end of their growing period, when it's time for them to start flowering. After changed light cycle, the plant will continue to grow for another three to four weeks. The screen should start right above them, and the shoots will come through the holes. When they do, you need to bend them on the screen.
Mesh can be made of various materials. You can use chicken wire or any other similar net with appropriate holes. The holes should be large enough for the branch to pass through. Use any type of light clips or maybe tie straps to fix branches in horizontal position. After a few weeks, you will create one nice, even canopy on the top of your mesh.
Once your plants stop growing, all flowers will be bent on the top, supplied by adequate amount of light. You just have to wait until their flowering cycle ends, and your crops will be ready for harvesting. The numerous advantages of this technique include better light effectiveness, better height control and significantly increased harvest.
SOG method is more interested in continuous production and speeding up the flowering cycles. By limiting vertical and promoting horizontal growth, this method maximizes the production of a single plant and allows better light effectiveness. The point is to grow in limited space with maximal results and controlled height.
Your screen should be appropriately fixed, because it will hold the weight of your marijuana. This means that each plant will concentrate only on growing and flowering. It doesn't matter if some stems are smaller, they will all reach the top and get enough light. Just bend each one when it gets through the mesh and fox it in horizontal position. Make sure to use feminized plants, by the way.
It is much better to use only Sativa strains for this type of growth. Indica strains have much stronger stems and cannot be bent so easily. Besides, Sativa strains have higher internodal distance. When approximately sixty percent of your mesh is filled, it is time to change the photo period to 12/12 hours. Flowering will cover the rest of the mesh.
Another thing you can do to maximize your harvest is to prune the central point of each plant while it is still very young. Experts advise to eliminate only eighty percent of the central shoot, not the entire shoot. This way you will get up to eight new branches, instead of only two, that you would get with traditional pruning.
