Screen of green
One of the techniques used in the cultivation of cannabis is referred to as screen of green or SCROG. This technique is so called because it involves training the plants to adapt to a wire mesh (similar in technique to an arbor). In so doing, one attains a great uniformity in the crop, and all plants attain near equal exposure to lighting. This is a system particularly adopted by hobby growers with limited height in their grow-area to grow big plants but not by commercial grow operations, because it is very labor intensive to train the plants to the screen, and requires an extended vegetative phase, although it allows for very efficient light use. This method also causes stems to grow much stronger and be able to bear more fruit.

Yeah, just thought I'd put this topic down as well...anyone try it yet?
