Cultivation Style Scrog
SCROG (Screen of Green) is a horizontal training method where growers weave cannabis plants under a fixed mesh screen positioned 12-24 inches above the canopy. The screen creates a level growing surface, forcing lateral branch development and distributing light more evenly across flowering sites. This technique is commonly associated with optimized light penetration and increased yield per square foot in controlled indoor environments. SCROG requires regular maintenance during vegetative and early flowering stages to position new growth through the mesh. The method works with both photoperiod and autoflowering genetics, though photoperiod plants offer more flexibility for training duration.

Breeders developing compact, bushy phenotypes with strong lateral branching often evaluate their lines under SCROG conditions to assess canopy architecture and lateral vigor. This cultivation style has influenced selection for plants with predictable, uniform node spacing and robust branch structure suitable for horizontal training systems.
