I’m in the process of building my new grow room and am about to build my set up to scrog six plants at a time . My question is… how does everyone collect their runoff once they are entangled in the screen? Looking for ideas like a drip tray design any pics would be great. TIA ---

I have my pot sitting on coated metal shelving. Sits about 5” off the ground. Under the pot is a wide plastic paint tray for rollers. The incline of the paint tray causes the water to collect in the paint basin. Then I use a turkey baster to suck it up. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/3X/e/4/e4bc22539c852fc45798a99904306a4b6a915ae7.jpeg) ---

What size pots do you use. I’m planning for 6 5 gallon fabric pots. ---

@Not2SureYet, do you have pictures of your SCROG setup? The only thing I would suggest is one plant per screen! ---

5 gallon. The shelve is 24”x 12” and can fit 2 5 gallon pots ---

Is that recomended for every grow tent? ---

That will depend on the number of plants and the space to fill. Mine are 1/3 of my flowering space so I can fit 3 in the 4 X 6 space. ---

It’s going to be a 10x12 room with a 7 ft ceiling. So I’m not limited much on space and planning for 6 plants ---

If you focus on adequate lighting with that space, I would not SCROG. ---

Right now I have a 600 watt hps and a 900 watt viparspectra Led so I’m not sure I have enough lighting ---

You do for most of veg but definitely not enough for flower. ---

That’s depending on the size of the plant but I’ll say 2. But I like bigger plants. ---

I use a 9 " metal grate used to cool food in pans from amazon and set my 7 gallon pots on those in a plastic drip tray . My turkey baster broke and I now use a water blaster kids toy to draw up the run off water from the trays . It works better than the baster . I use it to water the plants also . It forces me to water slowly . @BobbyDigital I like your paint tray idea . ![51%20AM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/3X/e/4/e470106e28d543d2e4de5ae86c2dced51a231777.jpeg) ![46%20AM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/3X/9/c/9cf0e6af58e5ca17a586a122deca512ec4c94a11.jpeg) I hope you have lots of lights to scrogg that many plants . One plant consumed my 2x4 tent . I hope this helps your planning . ![IMG_0502](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/3X/7/f/7fd85daf3d9051bd6093441b7c9523637c58db30.jpeg) ---

@Watt-Sun, the SCROG is for when your space is limited in height and/or you want to maximize the grow space horizontally. IMO it’s not a good technique if you have lights and space. Space being harder to acquire than lights you have the hardest part taken care of. With adequate lighting (whether MH/HPS or LED’s or LEC or whatever) growing upright plants with supercropping skills applied will serve you better than a SCROG would. I do 3 plants in a 4 X 6 space and yield around 10 oz of flower per plant for a 6 month grow. Under DIY LED’s. ---

I have mine in 8" high plastic bins. The plant sits on 1"x3"s. ![IMG_3005](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/3X/5/9/59c418ceedb1bdbe72c78e9c150b7e24a811e0e0.jpeg) ![IMG_3006](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/3X/8/2/828bb822ae95d241723c5da6e7007b92757423c9.jpeg) [Next page](https://ilgmforum.com/t/a-question-for-the-scroggers-out-there/27998.md?page=2)
