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'..
