More SCROG advice please

Hey gang, I'm into week three of flower. As you can see in the pics, I have nothing growing under my screen but have multiple bud sites at all the nodes sticking out above the screen. Should I cut all those little bud sites off or will they eventually join up with the main cola? Thanks in advance.IMG_3697.JPGIMG_3698.JPGIMG_3699.JPG

Leave them. You flipped too soon so they aren't gonna stretch much more, so that's a significant portion of what you will yield.

Thanks guys. Renfro, how do you know I flipped too soon? It was in veg for nearly 11 weeks but it had a rough start with me using a dud pH meter and generally not knowing what I was doing. I put the screen in place 3 weeks ago with the heads just poking through, then trimmed off everything underneath the screen. I forgot about weaving but tied the branches down further to try and keep them all at a roughly even height, then I'd trim off anything that I'd pulled below the screen by tying it down. A week after putting the screen in, I flipped the lights and in the two weeks of 12/12 since, they've had a growth spurt and now I have what you see in the pics. They seem to have slowed down now though.

I'm using a stealth cupboard grow so flipped the plant when it was roughly 1/3 the height of the useable space. And it's sativa dominant, I didn't want to lose control of it, lol.

The smaller nodes aren't getting the same dose of light as the tops but a reasonable amount gets to them.

I didn't realize the height restrictions were in play.

Thanks Myke. Learning from this grow, I don't think I'll veg as long next time, or need to. This plant got pretty sick early on and it took a while to recover

If they are getting a reasonable amount of light, I would leave 'em. Those smaller bits are great cause you gotta smoke something while them big buds finish up.
