Growing one purple wreck fem from reserva privada. Running dwc and gonna veg for 3 weeks under 175 hps. My questions are:

1.) Can you lollipop in flower ??
2.) Can you remove the fan leaves in flower? and can you remove fan leaves up to harvest?
2b.) What % of fan leaves can be removed and please explain
3) Also should I top this plant too, while doing SCROG ??

1) As long as it is during the stretch period of flowering which is the first few weeks of the initial photoperiod switch. Strain dependant.

2a and 2b) That is a personal preference. We all have our different views concerning fan leaves. I myself do not remove them not unless they are compromised by more than 50%. Fan leaves are your solar panels for your plant. Remove too many and it can affect the process of photosynthesis.

3) That is also a personal preference. If you want to lose your central cola than go ahead and top. If you are concerned about controlling vertical growth based on your grow room ceiling then top.

if your going to scrog..top them

" You should always train the main growing tops from the outside of the screen moving inwards so that the colas are focused as closely as possible on the light dispersed from the bulb."

Can someone explain this better ?????????? Or is there a good diagram I can look at ?????

Bump my last above question

Top your plant and prune all but the 4 top branches. Center your plant under the scrog screen, and train each of those four branches to grow towards each corner of the scrog screen. All of the side branches that grow off those four mains that you originally pruned will be all your tops that grow up threw the screen. You wanna prune any leaves below the scrog screen that dont get hit with light.
