Absolutely. So first off im not knockin scrog or trees or any big plant techniques but imo they r best in situations where the limiting factor is plant count for example legal grows in Michigan where the max plant count guys can have is 72. The best way to have a larger operation and still stay within ur plant count is to obviously grow bigger plants but in order to do that ya gotta spend a lotta resources (time, money, effort) to get plants to those large sizes thus decreasing profit margins. Its much more efficient to grow more, smaller plants. U have a faster turn around time, cheaper to grow, (less time money and effort) . Not to mention the longer something lives the more likely it is to die.
