How much do I need to trim my scrog setup?

Do I just need to cut the stuff under the screen and any fan leaves blocking light from bud sights? Do I need to cut all the fan leaves blocking any light at all or just the majority?

I Try to tuck as much as possible, fan leaves small leaves pretty much anything that is able to be tucked or knitted out of the way, I do a lot of trimming to open up budsites that can be seen by the light and there is just too much leaf around it to fully develop. after you have a FULL screen of nothing but branches coming THROUGH, you can then begin to cut excess on the bottom of the screen.

i say , trim away...

what i usually do is cut /trim fan leafs ove a couple days so as not to stress the plant too much.
i remember one time someone said "i'm growin' bud ...not leaf"

and thats what i say as well
just remember to maintain optimum plant health at all times and cut away---they can take it

Left untill harvest?? No man I say leave em alone, just use somthing to move the bigger leaves outta the way.

cool. I'm 3 weeks into flower and I really want the buds to blow up. I'm adding some extra stuff at this point too. I've been trimming a little each day, but man, these things grow quick!

Are fan leaves only used for photosynthesis during Veg or both Veg and Flower ??

If both veg and flower wouldn't chopping them ALL off stunt the growth of the bud sites ??

dont take um off unless they got one of the 3D's

Dead,Diseased or damaged

Other than that all thows green leafes your takeing off if that plants life... only reson it growing out them leaves is to help your buds out in the end if you take off a holl shit load of leaves that are nice flush green. Your not helping your buds out.Only kick them in the ass.

Tuck them if thows chonger fan leaves are blocking nice little Buds.
