On my scrog, I have learned you just tie down everything you can and every thing you see.

One problem you have is that you are in the process of tieing down while in flower.

Why do this? A scrog is really designed to grow low, and then once you have your SCREEN of GREEN then you flower. Your bud sites should all be developed and the screen enclosed in green FIRST.

Those little tips you are referring to will generate tiny little itsy bitsy buds that will take about 3 to make a joint once dried out.

In your next scrog, let the SCREEN 'o Green develop and engulf your screen prior to flower.

Also, now that you are flowering it will be difficult indeed to take and make some good selective cloning candidates...and the longer you are into flower, the more difficult it becomes.

You need or want a couple of good sized green leaves fully exposed to clone successfully and the tips you have are focused on flower pistel developement now not green fan leaves.

Anyhow, yes, you tie them right where you suggest. I forgot all your other questions.

Scrog is a great way to make clones and keep a mother alive...In my scrog I have never seen so many secondaries and I no longer even know for sure where the main kola is located.

I am hampered cuz of my acid bath I gave her by mistake, but the attached pic shows a peece of the grow.....the secondaries should be large, fully developed and properly exposed PRIOR to flower.

You dont want to go into flower still tying down if possible.

Hope this helps and good job thus far.

The pic below shows how the plant should be fully tied and fully grown prior to flower. Note the fullness of the secondary growth tips and the number of them.

They are perfect clone candidates or, future flower site....but they are large and developed enuff to choose either / or. Just make sure next time they are complete prior to flower.
