Do you need to veg with screen or will lower growth stretch enough during first few weeks of flower? FFOF soil and nutes, LED CFL, LSTed 6 weeks from bean. Thanks for any help.

^^^i agree, thats a good way to put it.Cut all the lower shoots that don't receive light.......they might make it pass the screen but by then the tops will also have grown....they will shade those lower shoots and you will get lots of airy nugs in the bottom......
This is correct. On my grow you can see where the plants in the front of the tent that have been messed with more and are definitely shorter because of it wich has caused the canopy to be uneven. I also wouldn't worry too much about getting a node in every hole of the screen. I believe if I had done every other it might have worked better. There just isn't enough room to grow in every one and still provide equal light to all of the colas. Just be patient and don't over think iot too much and you will be fine. This is my first scrog and I have found it to be super easy, and I too learned everything from this forum and a couple of books.Don't worry and don't fuck with them too much. I would cut off any lower branches not in the screen yet. It will let the top budz get bigger. I would be worrying more about the light you are using. 1000w HPS all the way!!!!! gl, your grow looks good.
I thinned mine very slowly, just a little bit every day, only taking whole leaves when needed. Once the canopy was dense and full, however, I removed anything under the screen that no longer received light, but only if absolutely no light was coming through. I also removed any of the shoots that were never going to make it that way the plant can focus it's energy on the primary colas.Should I thin out the bottom as soon as possible before I get to far in? Ive read that alot of peeps say dont cut anything off.
