I too wonder???? I know that may be what they say but what if your lid height is 8'+? Will it let your sites grow tall enough to max yeilds? I know in LBH's tutorial... he kept his plants small in a closet and set them on a high table running 600 watt'ers. I know for me... I would like my plants to be atleast 3-4' when finished as that would give me 2' clearence for lights and 2' for magic pot height+room for dtw.
its all about surface area. scrogging maximizes the light to each budsite, so all you get is a blanket of heads. If you let the plants grow up from the screen, you may have to add a second screen, and then you will have a bitch of a time getting in to the screen sandwich to clean out larf which will now develop due to the top canopy shading out the bottom canopy. .
Thats why you flip at 1/3 full, so you can bend those girls down in every direction and completely fill the screen by the end of stretch. I know I said some scroggers say... But I have plenty of scrog experience and this is how I would do it.
Its important to stay on top of it and bend every day. If you get lazy they will grow too tall and you will risk snapping your terminal shoots when you try to wrestle them back to the screen. Every day some bending and every day some cleaning of lower growth and defoliation. 3-4 weeks of work and due diligence, 5-? weeks of sippin lemonade and doing res changes.
