I've spent a lot of time thinking about growing. If you've seen the meme about the couple in bed and the woman is driving herself crazy worrying about her man's silence and thoughtful expressions, thinking he must be up to no good and find out he's over there thinking about his boat or car. Well, I do that about growing weed.
My personal production grows are hydroponic flood and drain. I have two rooms, in the past I had one room with a 400w MH for veg and another room with a 600w HPS. I have replaced the lights with HLG 600R LEDs. And I added a scrog screen to what once was my veg room, since I can now run both rooms from little rooted clone to harvest. This new opportunity has opened up several new possibilities. One I can grow a different strain on each side. Growing different strains in the same tray can cause it's own problems, like different grow rates and different harvest times. I used to run into timing problems moving from the veg room to the flower room. Not on the first run but plants in the veg room on the second run would always be ready to flower before the ones in the flower room were finished. This is one reason my scrog screen was used more for structural support and spreading limbs than weaving limbs through it.
I've started my mother/donor plants for this seasons grow. Vanilla Kush(hybrid indica) and Hawaii Maui Waui (sativa).
Now getting to my ruminations, every thing I've read about the MW tells me it will be ideal for the scrog. Having about a one month stretch at the beginning of flower, so veg it to the screen and then flip and weave for several
weeks or until full and let it go. I am not as sure about the Vanilla Kush. It's supposed to be a short bushy plant naturally. If I want to really scrog it or just use my screen for spread and support. With a short low stretch strain, should I let the plant grow to the height I want before flipping?
My tray tops now have four holes instead of six. The holes are at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions instead of the 6 holes in a dice pattern.

I grew the Vanilla Kush and Hawaii Maui Waui. They ended up as good smoke with the Vanilla Kush being better IMO. 
The Hawaii Maui Waui ended up with a nutrient problem, that in hindsight was the Calcium uptake problem I experienced with the current Colombian Gold grow.
I was giving them enough calcium, I was just running the PH too low for the strain and stage of development.
I don't have a lot of trouble dialing in the PH and keeping it steady. I just need to dial in the right PH.
