I don’t see why not? What are your reasons for wanting to SCROG? Would they still apply if growing outside?Good idea for maximum yield or not the way nature intends for the plant to grow outdoors?
Not a fan of the cages as I go bushy.Tomato cages or overhead netting?
If you’re SCROGing it won’t get to tall. Kind of the point to tucking and trimming.What happens when the plants get too tall for either? Thanks and a tip of the hat.
My goal is maximum yield. We're bakers and need a pound a month. With 10 high yield indica's going into barrel planters, we're hoping to get enough to cover our annual need without paying insane D.C. dispensary prices.I don’t see why not?

Zen’s SCROG Winter 2022 to 2023
So I’m feeling like my posts might be stepping on others threads so I’ll start my own. Not a cry for help this time but to show what has worked and what’s currently going on. Two weeks after stretch when buds really started coming in. This is the end of...www.thcfarmer.com

Check out @CannaGranny SCROGs. She’s been doing it for years and teaches classes. I think it would work fine for you but bounce a few questions off her.My goal is maximum yield.

Outdoor scrogs are glorious, comes down to practice and timing. I wouldn’t call tomato cages a scrog, I use them on normal outdoor plants. Couple t posts with a frame and screen is a good way or you can use cattle fence with same size squares.This is my first outdoor grow. I just read a few articles about SCROGGING for outdoor grows and I'd like to get the experts' opinion on it. Good idea for maximum yield or not the way nature intends for the plant to grow outdoors?

What Grim says is right on. A simple net will not give you a full on scrog. It has to be heavy enough to hold the plant down, and so far I have not seen any typical trellising nets do that. There is a big difference In scrogging versus trellising. Scrogging will triple your take and take away most worries about outdoor grows and wind.Outdoor scrogs are glorious, comes down to practice and timing.

It was a legitimate game changer for me. The first time in probably 15 outdoor grows that I have had no botrytis on my buds, and next to no PM, just a few tiny spots on inner leaves at the very end that I spotted right away and got rid of. The airflow was amazing. (My non scrogged location still had a few amputations and came down a bit early sue to mold and PM, so it was not the season, it was the scroggin lol.) Made maintenance soooo much easier, and when I added the leaf blower come late summer, they were so easy to dry off in comparison to a tree shape lol. Also already had a frame for frost covering. No drawbacks really, all positive for me in this climate that I choose to battle. A few people told me it was silly and pointless outside, but I feel I proved them quite wrong lol.It's funny. I was about to say, "Don't waste your time," but by the time I got to the end of this thread, I was converted.
This girl was 2.5 pounds plus larf, non scrogged obvi... in ground, no pot to restrict... White Widow. Started in March, went out end of May. That year was the reason I scrogged this past year lol... too big. She was held up with rebar she was so heavy.Man, the sheer volume of information is heavier than reading Shakespeare in Korean. Having watched a bunch of videos and looked at some of the amazing plants grown here, I'd love to scrog the whole batch. However...we're a bit limited by space, and we do want to grow all six plants. So, we're going to scrog just one of the six and dedicate the extra space to it. The other five will grow as trees through some heavy duty tomato cages. One of the outdoor grows I watched had plants with stems thicker than soda pop cans growing through tomato cages! The narrator said he got two pounds per plant!!!
Northeast as well here I’ll be growing at least 1 outdoor plant this year, may scrog it especially after seeing those monstersIt was a legitimate game changer for me.
