is scrog used for space or for a bigger yeild .
what strains are best for scrog.
chrisesq
Growers use scrog for many different reasons apart from increased yield.
It cuts down on plant numbers and is a life saver if you have limited height.
The ideal strains for scrog use are ones that branch freely.
I'll kick off the first strain suggestion with Apollo 11.

I agree pretty much with Jiffa here - amost anything can be scrogged with a good outcome. Branchy ones are nice and quick, tall thin ones just need more careful management.
I'm enjoying the Killer Skunk at the moment - branchy with minimal stretch. Perfick! smile.gif

I've responded to the same question a few times.
I think a better question to ask 'what strain is not suitable for scrogging?'.
I agree with jiff and Arnie in the main, but I would avoid strains with massive fan leaves and those that have overly large internodal spacing.

The key; IMO is knowing how much the strain stretches and therefore how much fill to give your screen before going 12/12.

I'm basically of the same mind - show me a plant and I'll scrog it.
However, there are a couple of strains that I would not do again.
Aurora Indica - fan leaves like dinner plates. Obviously the plant has put a lot of resource into building these so cutting them off was the last option but threading them back down through the the screen was difficult and often caused a lot of damage.
DJ Shorts blueberry - I was tearing whats left of my hair out over this one. I don't consider myself heavy handed but the branches kept snapping when I was training them no matter how careful I was. Loads of expletives coming from the grow room. F**k! B*llocks! Sh*t! Nonetheless a lovely smoke. Maybe it was my particular clone.

im scroging flying dutchmans power skunk to great effectis one mad since scroging and filled my space compleatly with only the one plant
and its my first time scroging and had a few braches snap but they soon healed themselves and are no weaker than unsnaped branches
i think using liquid silicone at full strength 1ml per liter helped with the healing process as it only took a few days to heal the wounds
i think going on what i can see so far that ill always scrog from now on
