” Most of these methods were developed to flatten the canopy for even lighting under lamps hung above the plants .”

GROW

GREEN

Remove mold spores and contaminants from incoming air and indoor air , and remove odors from exhaust air , without the high costs of energy and maintenance .
Screen of Green ( SCRoG )
Screen of green is a form of LST where netting is strung in a flat horizontal plane and branches are trained so the growth tips ( and later buds ) are all at the same height . If done methodically , SCRoG can be fairly labour intensive , but benefits can be had even without perfection in the training .
Lollypop
Not all styles rely on removing ( or moving ) the top cola . The goal of lollypopping is to wind up with a single large bud on a stick ( stem ) like a lollypop . Any side branching is removed and plants are flipped from growth lighting to flowering earlier than with other techniques . This is commonly used with Sea of
Green ( lots of small plants grown quickly ) methods .
Brazilian
This is close to a multi-branched lollypop but less aggressive . With an even and full canopy , there exists a space below that won ’ t get enough light to be really productive . By removing the underlit foliage and twigs at the bottom of the plant , airflow can be improved and the poor-quality “ popcorn ” buds on lower stems can be avoided . This allows for the plant to focus its energy on the well-lit canopy above .

Which method or combination of methods is best depends on the situation and desired results . Lollypopping is often combined with Sea of Green because each plant only forms a single bud . Mainlining uses a combination of pinching and LST . Screen of Green ( s ) are usually given a Brazilian as well to avoid creating a damp and still area under the screen . Most of these methods were developed to flatten the canopy for even lighting under lamps hung above the plants , however , different lighting situations may call for different training / pruning solutions .
