I have been doing it for 25 years.
Itâs technically called âsuper croppingâ @Soilgrowth (and a SCROG is just a net or screen thatâs placed over your plant to help train the growth to fill the screen. Itâs used in soil and hydro. I have a thread right now on it, look up âSCROG a 2â plantâ)
And I do it too, super crop, with amazing success! Itâs so helpful when training your plants to grow an even canopy! Helps with making extremely strong stems as well. Definitely helps with bud production as well. I would recommend it to every weed grower out there. But please, watch some videos on it and get familiar with it completely before attempting to do yourself. Itâs easy to snap a branch or break a cola. So use precaution and watch some videos, but I totally recommend you trying it @david1954

I usually scrog and I tie the plant to the net so it is all the same height and it works. I downloaded a lot of reading material for this evening and a couple of videos. Thanks for the info.

Going back to OP, âSchwazzingâ, is a new term thatâs a company called âThreeALightâ came up with. Itâs an extreme form of defoliation done in flower, and Veg (3 times total).
This company is selling there book by sharking new growers into thinking thereâs a master way to grow cannabis; almost magic like. It sells for a whopping $500. Yes, one book = five hundred. Wow
Although they use nice HD pictures, and some of the information in the book is used as a common,
âExtreme Defoliationâ, in any sense, goes against any real botany teachings. I would definitely NOT recommend extreme defoliation for any benefit, nor would I recommend buying their book.

Hello @david1954,
We definitely have had good results from strategic defoliation. The idea is to induce stress at specific stages of growth while simultaneously supplementing the micronutrients that would otherwise come from the leaves that were removed.
Every strain responds differently to this technique. In our experience, the growth was vigorous and yields were improved. Within a 2 week period, it will look like you didnât touch the plant.
Hi, Thanks for the info. I have tried a few ways now I lollipop them scrog them for best yield. It works well with Blueberry, Super Silver Haze and White Widow. Tried it with lennon that was not so good.
Thanks.
David. Take care.
they make these plastic C âcurvesâ that you can put on plants stalks makes a beautifull 90 edgre angle ,ect - can get them only in UK. many folks use them for super cropping - it locks the stalk and holds it in- itâs really neat
