Ok, I've posted these pictures everywhere (  ) but I'll drop them again for ease of use. Anyway, I'm just lookin at this canopy and its so tight that I'm just wondering if there will be any bud formation below the absolute top of the tops because of all the fan leaves. I know trimming fan leaves is a big no no in a lot of people's books, but I've also seen good looking scrog walk throughs that recomend it, and it definitely looks like buds that recieve more direct light get to fatten up. Whata ya think?

| That canopy looks great!! I have a 5sqft Scrog and i get virtually all my bud formation above the screen. I have 18 inch to 4-6inch buds above the screen, they fill out all the way down to the screen...I trim everything off underneath the screen post stretch. When I go 12/12 I just letem stretch above the screen. alot of people tuck during stretch, I did this on my 1st grow and most of the bud formation was below the screen which significantly lessened my yield. | ||

| I've trimmed fan leaves,,, its fine if you've got a dense canopy... But dont trim fan leaves and trim all the bottom branches off too, choose one or the other. Most of the time i just leave em alone though...

| Maybe leaving them alone is the ticket. I always end up being a little too helpful
