Is there a fixed "mapping" of roots to sections of the plant?
What I mean is, for example if you were to cut off a particular section of root, would a certain part of the plant die, or would the plant just generally suffer a little, as the overall root mass tries to now support a plant that is too big? Or put another way, if you were to trim a branch off the plant, is there a corresponding root section that would no longer be doing anything, or would it start to pump it's nutes to the rest of the plant, so now you have extra root support, or would the entire plant now be happy because it's running "under capacity"?
The reason I ask is because I'm wondering about the best way to trim in clone fed zero veg SoG. Should I trim constantly, every time I see a new shoot, or should I just trim once or twice, say once a week during the first few weeks of flowering? Or should I just trim once, say after three weeks of flowering?
