Benefits of the Screen of Green Method

The Screen of Green technique is a popular growing method in which you train the plant to grow outwards instead of upwards using a screen.

By utilizing the Screen of Green Method (ScrOG) growers can effectively manage plant growth, optimize light distribution, and ultimately increase overall yield of the cannabis plant.

What is Screen of Green?

Cannabis plants naturally grow tall and slender. The ScrOG method encourages the plant to grow wider, allowing more parts of the plant to receive sunlight.

The goal is to depict how the plant grows.

Cannabis plants grow one main cola at the top of the plant. This method trains the plant to grow in a way that produces multiple colas, resulting in more flower.

Screen of Green Benefits

In many states with legal weed, adults are only allowed to grow a limited number of plants.

The ScrOG method is the perfect low-stress training technique to maximize yield with minimal plants and space.

On average plants can produce 20% more yield using the ScrOG method.

By creating a flat canopy the sunlight hits more of the plant resulting in more uniformed and larger buds. Having multiple colas along an even top allows for more flower.

Another benefit is the open structure of the Screen of Green method. This enhances air circulation around the plants, minimizing the risk of mold and pests.

Setting Up Your Screen of Green

The ScrOG method can work well with seeds or clones. This method can be used indoors or outdoors, but it is typically used indoors due to space constraints.

You first want to adhere your screen above your plants. An ideal screen is a trellis with square openings around 2 inches in diameter. You can find many online made specially for the Screen of Green method.

The ideal height of the screen is between 7-8 inches above the base of your plant.

Once your plants reach the screen consistently tuck and weave the branches under the screen to maintain an even canopy. Prune any unnecessary growth below the screen.

Once the screen is filled, let the plants grow vertically through it and transition to the flowering stage. Continue to monitor and adjust as necessary.

It is good to note that the screen of green method is an easy training technique.
