Lollipoping for scrog

[postmandave]

On my first scrog here and im in flower. Does anyone one know if im to late to start taking of the smaller fan leaves under the sgrog and the little small bud sites? They arent getting any light as the larger fans are preventing any light getting through. I know justaseed had a thread about something along these lines but i cant find it so if your looking in justaseed will i stress the plant to much to start now or am i ok to start taking a bit of them of each day. Or does anyone else no any thing on this topic , Mobay, Buck,Garden ,Turtel, jdoog image or even lord Zandor any one . The Postman.

Or you can simply tuck them out of the way.
Thats what I do if I can. Or I'll cut it off with a sterile razor.

DON'T CUT ANYTHING UNDER THE SCREEN!!! i have scrogged many times and i have found that the more you cut, your buds will be leafier and less dense and yeilds will suffer. i would cut very few fan leaves above the screen to expose all budsites to the light. i would leave EVERYTHING below the screen untouched. alot of the undergrowth will die off anyway so just let it happen naturally. i learned all of this by trial and error so i know 1st hand that it works the best.

You know you can always save them to make bubble hash?

(I should do that today for tomorrow's 4-20 party.)

Problem is when you cut the plant you stress it. During flower you don't want the plant to stress do you? If you cut to much the plant could go into stress recovery mode and spend its energy on repairing the damage and not flowering or producing trichomes.

Right! cutting anything off the plant will stress it at least a little bit. Wouldn't it be best to simply pluck off the leaves that are yellowing and dying off near the bottom of the plant?

Just tug them, if the stay on.. leave em, if they come off.. well.. they come off

Remember, to keep as little dead plant material around your plant as possible. Bugs love the dead leaves.

Thanks people.Justaseed ive seen your scrogs mate thats enough for me.I dont want to stress this grow at all as its my first scrog and im a bit takin aback with it. Zandor i save all my trim for bubble hash.Waste not want not lol.Thanks for all your input as i new to this scrog lark.The thing is i didnt have them under the screen during veg but i had them lst right through veg for a screen during flower.After i sexed them i didnt want to have to disturb them to rip out males.Insted of putting a screen over them i have just tied wire across and tied them as i have went along narrowering the squares in the prosess it seems to be doing the trick. So any other ideas you all can through my way would be much appreciated.The Postman.
