This question is for anyone who does scrog, lollipopping, any method involving removing the lower level branches to redistribute the popcorn bud weight up top.
I'm doing 4x4 scrog so anything under the screen/canopy has to be removed due to it recieving no light, i.e. wasted energy, that much I get just fine.
The question is, how late in its' life can I trim the lower growing tips before the stress of it decreases my yeild? In addition, what would be the ideal time to do so?
I'm experimenting with new strains and I'm no expert to begin with, so with the different growth patterns of the strains it's hard to tell by the first week of flower if it's going to reach the canopy or not. I''ve slowly been cutting the all the shoots and leaves beneath the canopy at 18-22 day into flower when it's obvious which won't reach. But I worry I am stressing them out to late. SO, please, any and many answers would be appreciated
