Couple questions about LST.

I am trying to come up with a box, similar to the tiny computer grow lst/scrog system that im sure everyone has seen before - but I am blowing that set up into a 4 foot tall 6 foot wide entertainment center.

Here are my questions:

I understand that when you use scrog, all the plants become mingled in the wire mesh as the plant grows. This brings me to my first question of - what do you do with male plants? I dont grow with fem seeds, I use bagseeds I collected over a long period of time until they run out - saving money. I see a problem in trying to get the male plant out of the screen.

- To try to solve the issue, I figured couldnt I just LST them until they sex late in veg and once I determine males from females I lay the screen down and start to scrog with the remaining veg time. Does this seem alright?

Also, for all the scrog/lst pros here, please be HONEST with me no plant pride here - how BIG do the buds grow? I want to know if all the heads will be giant or just a ton of regular sized buds - I need to know this for space purposes and measurments. I know that it all depends on your strain and how you grow but I am asking for a comparison to a regularly grown plants main kola.

Thanks for all your help guys.

1 - sex them before you put a screen on them.
2 - Yes
3 - Expect smaller popcorn buds. You will have some larger cola's but they will crowd each other.

Okay dude, thank you, that's what I had thought. Just wanted to make sure I wasnt messing it up lol. I have no idea about LST and SCROG so I am learning as I go. I mastered the Untopped grow, then dabbled with topped plants and noted the differences and now I want to lst scrog and compare all harvests. Thanks again for your help!
