How far into flower is it safe to clean under scrog screen?

Basically want to know how long to safely leave all the undergrowth and leaves in a scrog grow before i chop it all away, im under the impression you should never fuck about cutting plants in flower as you stress them too much but how else are you supposed to do this when youre growing in a scrog?

don't do too much at once.
after u rape the lower foliage
give her a few day to recover
before you switch to flower.

I prefer to prune/shape em
only once in their life cycle
typically about 4 - 5 days
before switching em over

best o'luck

you are correct,

its by far better to manipulate the (N) supply

then give a little trim coming up to bud

I cut the first/bottom fan leaves when they start to look a little dry. Your plant is probably going to abscize these leaves anyways. Might be 2 weeks into flower or more and I'll still be cleaning up the stems, getting the little popcorn buds off and making for good airflow.

What do you mean by manipulate the n supply?

Youre supposed to put the scrog screen or net over the plants in veg. While the plant grows out you stretch it out under the screen/net, trimming out the undergrowth as you go. Once the screen/net is 65% full you flip to flower and as the plants stretch you stretch it out under the screen and trim as needed.

So all the undergrowth is taken care of BEFORE you go to flower. This is all explained in detail all over youtube and this site....
