To SCROG or not to SCROG that us the question lol

[Papasmoke1127]

So here is the setup.

5x5x6.5ft tent....
5 x 400w mars2 TopLed in an "X" formation
6 bucket 5 gallon DWC setup

Growing THC Bomb and Heavyweight Fast and vast AUTOS....

Every one who is using the Mars2 led panels swear in the penetration being very good all the way down and tight spaced internodes....

So to SCROG or not to SCROG. ...

What say you???

6 buckets in a 5x5 I wouldn't scrog
maybe 3-4 buckets but 6 if the plants have decent size to them its gonna be too tight
just my 2 cents

KingJohnC informed me that I can't Scrog with autos....didn't know that! !

yea autos you just want to let grow at the most you could probably get away with some light LST
but no scrog with autos reason being is you need a long veg time to fill the net and a regular plant you can veg as long as you need to to fill the net making the scrog feasible
on an auto its gonna flower no matter what light cycle its on when its ready its ready its why its an auto flowering plant
and even regular plants non autos 6 buckets in a 5x5 area is a little tight for scrog be a waste of time
part of doing a scrog is making use of a bigger area with minimal plants
I have 5 in a 4x4 now 3 are small or it wouldn't work ive had 1 plant take over 1/2 the space
