I’m new to scrogging and in my first as well so take my advice as a grain of salt. I did what a lot of ppl on here do and tucked or tied them down to the net until the 2 week mark of flowering. And yeah I defoliate a bit as well too it only makes sense because budsites get lost under those huge fans. There’s plenty of green sugar leaves and small fans in there to collect energy from the light.
