My SCROG is in day 33 and the fan leaves are really coming in. I don't want to trim them but it looks like some smaller buds are starting to get over grown. What would you guys do?

start trimming all the smaller stuff under the screen that is not getting any light. This is good for a number of reasons. It concentrates more energy on the big colas and having less foliage under the screen with prevent disease. I have done scrogs defoliating and ONE not defoliating. My non defoliated scrog was the only one I ever had problems and got Powdery Mildew very bad. never again. U might just end up with larffy crap under there.. so my advice.. clean it out good where the light don't hit.
Looks awesome, nice work!

Thanks. Glad to hear it. I'm keeping updates in my journal if you want to see how she turns out.

I have a fan blowing in so there is lots of air circulation.

@ Dr. Amber Trichome
I have been trimming all the sprouts under the canopy. It's clean under there. I pull off a few fan leaves underneath every couple days. I only take the ones that are starting to die off. I can usually just pull the leaf and it will come off.

I clean them up as well - upwards of 16 or so inches of just stems & the big fan is down low plus another blowing across the top of the canopy (lights aren't cool tubes).
I usually push right to a gm per wt in a thick ass SCROG.
