"Any drawbacks to pushing light through some fairly thick glass?"
Cleaning it
You shouldn’t see any degradation of light intensity with clear glass. Could be taken to a window replacement shop and cut for you I am sure.
The design could be altered to allow the reservoir to be exterior. DWC can also circulate, keeping the reservoir outside of the heated area would more easily retain temp. Cooling water is also a fairly easy operation. Maybe someone has a read for you, my apologies I don’t, or just as easily you may be able to find some good material on the subject in the hydroponics section here at RIU.
If your not familiar with the web site Instructables.com it may be another good bet.
I read somewhere that glass eats up some lumens.

I stand corrected. It does loose, anything that is between the light and the plant is going to take away some. Not enough to not suggest not doing it however. If your curious about the actual numbers, you can pick up a light intesity meter for less then $30 most places.
Wow, the cloud I am in when I mix Chocolope and Vortex bubble is ridiculous.:dunce:
Cant really complain about being able to smoke yourself retarded though...:eyesmoke:

has anybody seen or tried a screen that lifts up with the plants in it? twist tied. Then I could get to the buckets underneath while they hang there...?

Not exactly, however I have seen the lid of the container attached to the screen system as to allow the res to just be lowered away. It can be done as simply as a flood table that has a flat cap with holes for your net pots.

There is another really nice grow (one of the best I have seen) that I am trying to get permission to photo and post. The grower is a six or so patient care giver, who has six rooms for each patient. Each room is HUGE and is fully scrog. Each room only contains one plant. Epic monster scrog of one plant. The strain is coveted and the smoke proves it worthy of awards.
I have videos right now, which if I do get permission I may take a few still shots from and post, however I plan on flying down and getting some good shots with a better cam.

What do you folks think about a book all about scrog?

Thanks for the support, I have been considering it seriously. I am told that I have enough material, however I have yet to gather what I truely am looking for (but I am working on it). I need some more advanced gardens to photo too. I would be willing to take donation photos if your interested in being featured. I would like good shots of scrog images that are artistic in nature. I think Subs book DANK is one of the best photo shoots of cannabis and I would be aiming in that direction however, from the gardeners eyes.

The other idea being tossed around is SCR.O.G. Magazine Online. The cannabis geared mag would feature medical and connoisseur grade cannabis strains and phenotypes, as well as informative gardening/training tips, how to built it tutorials, maximization of efficiency plans, scrog news, editors columns regarding advancements in tech, training, and products etc., a multitude of photographs from around the world including those sent in by readers. Live chat with a tech, readers chat sessions and forums, links to scrog related product suppliers, and seed companies etc. The works basically…the scrog works.
What say you?

NEW TERM/ Scrain: To train for scrog.

Scraining is the term for a technique used in preperations for SCROG growing. A diverse use of multiple techniques such as LST, Topping, Fimming, Suppercropping, etc. in order to obtain ideal growth for scrog usage.

Term Usage:
Scraining creates a fast growing "bush" with a focus on uniformity and a multitude of tops, ideal for use with the screen of green growing method.

Developed by the ol' scrogger himself, Woodsmantoker~

FYI: There is no one way to scrain. Scraining is up to the grows ideals and would be influenced by various factors including strain/ particular phenos used, growing routine, containers, etc.
 
Hi sorry nothing beautiful but i was wondering if anyone had tried this with the scrog . allowing the plants to grow up at a angel to the screen so i could you the light vertically. Ive seen this done with huge amounts of plants but want to keep the amount of plants down. With a mnth or 2s vegging to the screens say 2*2ft or 3*3 do you think i could manage a decent yeild ?



Plant 45 Degree

Bud

Plant 45 Degree Bud 400/600w hps - Bud - Plant 45 Degree


The screen would obviously to between the plants and the bud.

Hello Pal,
Welcome and good luck with your new venture into scrog. I must say, if you are interested in scrog and you would like to learn all about the techniques, designs, terminology, etc. you have come to the right place. If you have come to be instructed on growing as to avoid time spent learning however, your doing your self a disfavor by the means of your approach.

There are many good pages to be read here, take your time. Its on your own time thats the beauty. If you have any questions, we always do our best to answer. If you have concerns, we can try to help address them. This thread is for you. Take advantage and enjoy!

Woodsman~

I wanted to mention that I don’t "take anything away" from those who are more interested in the fast run down in order to get growing. What we must remember is that there are a many among us who's time is simply limited. It is important to some, to not have to take the time to read through page after page to find what they are looking for and I can sympathize.
If you find yourself in a similar situation where time is of essence, and the answer you are looking for is unable to be found easily, feel free to contact me directly or label your post Time of Essence Question:
