I doubt anything comes close to sog for yield. I think the question I’d be asking, is, are scrog yields better than regular grown yields, given the extra time/work.
I’d only ever go scrog because of low intensity/no penetration lights…
But to answer your questions:
With the right strain, scrog can come close if you ignore the month/run of veg
Strains with ample stretch and kingcan size cola will do best, super lemon haze, ak47 etc
Usually a high level sog would use a 10weeker for 5 harvests a year. Using scrog and a 10 week plant as an example: 10 week flower + 4 of veg or 52/14 = 3.71 harvests per year. You can push 4 havests/year using a 9week strain or 3 weeks of veg or any combo with a little wiggle room
I got charged with possession once for a 2 leaf seedling. They weighed the pot and soil and seedling. In court they said I had 25 grams.
I kid you not!
I do scrog and a month veg is expected also mainline at least a month in veg
But less watering , a lot of training , but that only makes you more familiar with the plant which is a good thing
If you have moms sog is most likely the thing to do Clone the hell out of them put them in a small pots and let them rip personally I would still put a net over them for support no need to top
But definitely Lollipop them
Cops raided our house, they didn’t find what they expected to find. So were coming up with all kinds of stupid charges. The judge wasn’t happy about the waste of court time and threw everything out. We were laughing at the cops.
I did a scrog “sort of” in my last run and will be switching to SOG next run. I think the trimming will be much easier and i don’t love that once your plant has filled its screen it’s pretty much stuck their until it’s done. Not so much of a problem for a 1 plant scrog but when you have multiple under the same screen you could run into some unforeseen annoyances like I did. One day when I have space for more tents I want to do a large single plant scrog just for fun, the training itself is very satisfying!
At this time I have a scrog set up with bubble monkey from calyx bro it’s a short stout plant
It’s in my 24 x 24 tent
I’ve done 16 clones in this same tent sog style it is quicker ( big mistake I made was 4 different strains should have only did the same strain
I just made sure the clone was rooted and gave it 1 week in veg
I did the same with 30 in 1/2 gal plastic pots still A pain in the ass when it comes to watering
I feel the yield is worth the wait with some strained
Don’t remember the exact strains but satie dominate. Will get large
