The upper screen is for support of the colas. Last time I grew these BD's they came crashing down on me due to support issues (or lack thereof), so I am using the upper screen to tie the buds up to - let them bud through - during the flower process.

The plants were moved into the room after several weeks of flowering. One (RHS) was topped prior to the move while the other was catching up. The trunk of each plant is nearly 1 in thick and each is 24 in tall before the first screen. Lower screen is to train the shoots and possibly tie down unmanageable ones before flowering, while using the upper screen to support growing tops when they stretch during flowering.

They are over 1/4 inch thick and right at a node. They are pushing the screen up and they are inflexible too. I am worried I will snap off their heads if I tuck them under. I snapped one completely off that was under half the size as the beefy shoots ones. I don't wanna break their heads off and have to wait 2 weeks to recover before flipping them to 12/12 just cuz I manhandled them.

Yes SSSS. It's a bitch. At least its not SSS - shitty shoot syndrome. Probably due to a very unconventional attempt at SCROG and letting them grow 2 ft before screening them. I've learned a helluva lot so far and promise to to it better next time. Really, I will. It will save me a lot of work and headaches.

I know the feeling. These beautiful ladies require a lot of attention. Blues Traveler told me that I gotta stop Mulling It Over, Just Wait, and Slow Change...... But Anyways.....
