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.
There are different variations of this method. You can set your screen just before the flowering period, after changing the light cycle. When you change the light cycle, marijuana will continue to grow for a few weeks, and the buds will come through the mesh. Now it is the time to bend them on the screen and fix them in this new, horizontal position.
your screen should have large holes, large enough to allow the shoots to pass through. This can be, for example, chicken wire, or some other type of netting. It can be made of different materials, use your imagination. In any case, once the shoots come through, you have to bend them and fix them in horizontal position using straps, clips or something similar. Your goal is to have one nice, beautiful canopy on the top.
Once the growing period stops, all your flowers will be adequately lighted on the top of your mesh. Wait until the flowering cycle ends and you can harvest them. This particular method ensures better light effectiveness, height control, stem support and much better final results, even if you grow your cannabis on one really limited space.
Another technique known as SOG method aims at a continuous production. Using SOG, cuttings are promoted to flower more quickly. Screen of Green technique limits the vertical and promotes horizontal growth, maximizing production of one or more plants in a limited space, and allowing the same quantity of light to all branches and flowers.
The screen has to be very well fixed, because it will carry the weight of all your plants. This way they will be able to concentrate on flowering. Make sure to use only feminized plants at the beginning. All stems don't have to have the same height, once they reach the screen, you will bend them anyway, and they will get enough light.
Although you can grow both Indica and Sativa strains, when it comes to this particular technique, Sativa strains are much better choice. Indica has thicker and stronger stems, and it's much easier to bend Sativa stems. Wait until about sixty percent of a mesh is covered, and then change the photo period to 12/12. The rest of your mesh will be soon covered with flowers.
There are some other tricks you may use to maximize the harvest. For example, traditional pruning method requires removing the entire central shoot, and this creates two new ones on this place. If you remove only eighty percent of the central shoot, when the plant is still young, you will get three to eight new shoots on the place of cutting. This will make your harvest even more attractive.
