if it is a small plant it doesn't matter much.... the large th eplant you grow the more useful the scrog is.
it helps efficiently fill any space. makes some training much simpler with less effort. i regret not using one sooner. as long as you set them before they are needed, it's easy work. trying to fit one over a plant that is "to-size" and bending shit down or this or that is furstrating AF. so, let it grow into it and a minor amount of daily attention is all you need. not even every day is needed.. new growth takes a bit to become rigid, so you have time.
