    Trimming before flowering

    So I'm using the "screen of green" method and I've been told to trim off everything on the bottom of the screen. Now I think that may be a bit excessive, does anyone have suggestions on this method?

    Also was wondering if it'd be best to give them a heavy fert. after that to help with shock?

    Trimming before flowering

    Well first off a heavy fert will only add to the shock so let's not do that. Just some plain water and a smile.

    I trim anything that will not make it to the screen - leaves, branches, everything. Now remember they will stretch so judge accordingly. If you don't remove this growth it will continue to develop taking resources from the buds at the screen level. It also makes for better air flow and makes it much easier to get under the screen when needed. Any branches can be used for clones if you run a veg room.

    For the hobby grower scrog is great. Maximum yield for a small plot.

    Good luck!

    bigsy,

    you make a great point! If you will look at most scrogs.. They tend to be empty. No greenery whatsoever.The reason lollipopin' comes into play as well. The reason for this is so there is good ventilation under the canopy.If it don't make it above the screen then it ain't gonna be green! To big of a chance to have a mold issue. You can even tend the plants a hell of alot better,too. Ventilation and circulation is key to a scrog. I got my own pics,too. I'm just sayin'..
