As the screen begins to fill up, you should be removing the lower growth from beneath the screen. The pupose of this is to get the plant to direct its energy towards the growth above the screen. Due to lack of good light, any growth below the screen tends to suffer anyways and usually doesn't amount to much. "It is energy better used above the screen". Do the removal slowly over the course of about a week or two. If you do it all at once, you will shock your plants and this will stunt their growth.
Occasionally, a stubborn branch or two may try to get the better of you. But some twist-ties will fix that quick. For those truely stubborn branches, use some string and slowly(about a quarter inch per day), "reel" her in. See pic below to see all of the above.
After flowering begins, you should not need to do any additional training. But, you may need to continue to remove new growth as it appears under the screen.

Over the last few decades, we have learned what the near-ideal environment is for MJ cultivation. To paraphrase a genious, "We stand on the shoulders of giants". |
