A scrog encourages the plant to weave around a structure to redirect itself towards the light, opening up the plant, spreading out its canopy and allowing light to spread more efficiently over the plant.
When i use a “scrog” in vegetation stage its not exactly considered a scrog but a simple training net.
In vegetation i will bend my plants down, pushing leaves and branches/nodes underneath this net, allowing the lower nodes that will become flowers later, to get more light than they normally would. Every few days or so i will push the branches back under the net after theyve peaked above it - partially strength training them and allowing me to mould the canopy to my liking and restrict height
I dont use a scrog net in flowering stage as i like to make my plants able to hold the buds + move them around. A long vegetation time with multiple training techniques is what i normally do.
in flower period, most times 2 layers are used as the plants will need the support
