Although almost any cannabis strain can be grown with screen of green, but some strains are better suited to this training method.
Good ScrOG strains tend to be short-growing hybrids that finish flowering quickly (8 weeks or less) and produce high yields of dense that have a high calyx-to-leaf ratio.
This not only maximizes bud production in the limited ScrOG area but also minimizes time spent trimming.
ScrOG strains should also be flexible and have a natural resistance to mold to prevent bud rot issues in the dense, humid canopy.
In this article, we look at 10 of the best strains for Screen of Green (ScrOG)
1. Green Crack
Green Crack feminized is a top choice for ScrOG, thanks to its Skunk #1 and Afghani roots. This sativa-dominant strain reaches manageable heights with an open structure, making it perfect for training.
Flowering in 8-9 weeks, it produces solid buds with up to 25% THC and yields 500-600g/m² indoors.
Its long, thin leaves allow plenty of light, while strong, flexible branches adapt well to bending. At harvest, expect citrus-mango flavored buds that relax the body and deliver an energizing mental buzz.
2. Cherry AK
Cherry AK feminized is a ScrOG gem, bringing AK-47’s legendary kick with a fruity cherry twist. This sativa-leaning strain is tailor-made for indoor growing, pumping out bountiful buds just 7-8 weeks after switching to 12/12.
Cherry AK’s strong, flexible branches are perfect for Screen of Green training, supporting plenty of dense, heavy colas. With up to 25% THC, it serves up a cerebral buzz that gently settles into full relaxation.

3. Blue Dream
Blue Dream is a West Coast legend in the ScrOG world, delivering all the juicy benefits of its Blueberry and OG Haze lineage.
This sativa-dominant powerhouse can grow up to 2 meters if you let her, but with ScrOG training, she stays manageable and packs on weight. She produces plump, resinous buds in just 9-10 weeks.
At up to 21% THC, Blue Dream offers a balanced high that’s both uplifting and creative. With sweet berry flavors and a touch of mango and vanilla, she’s as tasty as she is productive—a true favorite for indoor growers who love big yields and even bigger flavor.
