One grower, I forget whom now, was swearing by LST only no topping required and had some interesting results. The thread is 7000 posts long and 8 years long all about SCROGing and I’m only into it a bit so far but good info.
What's the link? Just in case I get some spare time... it wouldn't be the first time I had binged on something like that.
I will try to PM it to you. That doesn’t always work though.
Heya Hemi....i am getting caught up with my reading and just read your posts...really digging this grow...like how you kept the height on the the low side....your workings and skills are making her shine.Day 24/12
Having some medical issues and missed a daily update.
I loaded up the reservoir with another 5 gallons of nutrients. I upped the MC to 5g per gallon since once again there is no signs of nutrient burn.
5gpg MC / 2gpg CaMag / 0.35gpl SC / 0.25gpl BE.
pH was 4.9 after mixing pH up to 6.56
EC 2.30or 1150ppm.
Most of the tops are between 6-10 inches above the screen and now filling in nicely. I do pull off a few fan leaves off everyday from above the screen, but try to only pull a few that are actually blocking bud sites. Also checking under her skirt everyday for any suckers and dying material. Every thing I read seems to recommend leaving most on the plant as long as it’s not dying.

Good catch.
Yes, weirdly enough I was already comfortable this grow with MC & CM at grams per gallon. Plus, most here have been referring to gpg when talking about MC dosing. Then I added SC & BE, but with their much smaller dosing I used grams per liter based on 19 liters per five gallons which is close enough for me. I grew up a military brat in Europe and have no problem switching back and forth 
between imperial and metric systems. My next grow I will probably switch back to fully metric where I could be saying my MC is at 1.3g per liter and CM is .5g per liter or close enough for me.
