Try with your scrog to fill the area completely apart from the fan leaves that cover your branches take a look at my current dairy I don't strip leaves I just place them away from the center of the plants and branches but everywhere else I don't not strip as you fan leaves are what power bigger buds and more pistles .. any removing off leaves 🍃 gives you nothing but potential loss of yields , take one or two every other day to maintain 💯 coverage deep down the center of the plant
