Scrog/trimming question

Hi y'all. I took a good bit of fans off from under my screen a little over a week ago. It has gotten pretty thick again. It is just now starting to get offset branching and is 7 weeks old. Should I clean the undergrowth again? and then should I wait a week before flipping?

It won't let me upload pictures.

It is said that if you take clones from flowering plants, once they revert back to veg, they grow more bushy. I have done it many times. These cuttings were taken from lowers on the last day of week three of flower , took 10 days to root in a cloner, and in solo cups now. They will grow pretty crazy for a hot sec, and then grow normally again but more bushy than before. I took this picture just now. These will not be flowered though, these will become mothers.
This is Ztarfighter = The Cube x Zkittlez.

The buds seperate and lots of new shoots grow out of them, almost like a super fimming.
Just to touch upon the question of pruning and scrog.
When my plants are at that stage i find myself removing leaves on a daily basis. I will remove lots in a methodical manner.
The lowest group of leaves under the net will be completely stripped as will any small shoot or branch. Leaving only stripped stems and a completely open cavity.
Most of the leaves i remove daily are leave from the upper most part of the canopy, leaves that shade bud and cannot be tucked beneath.
Just below and just above the net i will have most of the foilage. Removing any leaf that covers a decent bud site or any leaf that is necessary to remove to manipulate a cola.
At the top the highest part of the canopy i would remove pretty much every fan leaf and even some sun leaves. This will leave a nice upper canopy of openness exposing all of your colas to the light. It shouldnt look like bush, should be nicely aligned colas towering above your green canopy, chunking up unshaded beneath the light.

The plant will turn weird. It will throw single blade smooth edged leaves. It will shoot out a boatload of scrawny stems that will have bud sites up the ass. If you continue it will then revert to normal leaves. At this point vegging them results in really bushy plants because of all the stems. They will have pistils all over wanting to return to flowering.

I just chopped 5 Nachos. Blackberry Kush X Confidential Cheese. All monsters. You can do this over and over.

They outproduce the same plant grown from seed. You'll see. Buy some eXtreme Gardening Mykos. Buy some cloning gel. Any brand is fine. Take the cutting. Scrape the outer layer off at the bottom. Use the edge of a knife. Dip in cloning gel and then Mykos. Stick directly into nutrient free potting soil in a red Dixie cup with drain holes. Do not overwater.

Once flipped remove everything that doesn't reach above the screen. All undergrowth, bud sites, take them off clean.
