Scrog/Harvest Queastion?

When using the scrog method. What do you do with the trellising when it comes time to harvert
the grow? Cut it out of the canopy or pull the stalks through when clipped?

Whatever is easiest at the time. Its harvest, it's not going to matter to the plant lol an most people scrog differently so what works for me may not work for you. Sometimes what worked for me last time work even work for me next time!

As often as not I'll cut the plant below the screen and hang it from the ceiling with a rope. But also lots of other ways, so yea..

If your using string then just cut the string and harvest as normal. If using wire then cut the colas and pull through.

I always wanted to just cut the stalk and flip the screen and hang it whole.

I dont have room though

Makes sense now that you say it.
I see how it could suck just a bit.

How Does the fans being on affect anything?

I hung whole plants several times... never had a issue trimming them... you cut off a branch, cut it into sections, get to work, repeat. I'm really confused where the issue is unless you then tried to literally hold the whole plant an trim it from your hand.... and that would be literally impossible for most people, as most people harvest over a qp per plant.

Ahh, i was thinking the fact that it was wrapped in the net and upside down.
Either way. Im not eligible due to the limited space

I don't wet trim I dry trim. And I grow outdoors...not ounces but pounds per plant. So the fan leaves were left on and made trimming a pain. Of course I cut it into sections.
For smaller plants if you took off the fans no I do not think that would be hard.

For clarity im talking about flipping and hanging an entire 8x5 scrog to dry

Same. I guess I just don't see how it's hard still... I've known outdoor growers who crop in the 100-150 lb range and the only way to go is to hang the whole plant in the barn. It's just how its done...
The fan leaves dont matter at all...

Last season I used big round support cages, and during harvest, I'd chop the stalk, then flip the cage and carry it wholesale to the porch. They were just barely tall enough to keep the weed off the ground.
