Am I doing the crog/lst and pruning right?

anything below the bends in stems won't produce well for sure... assuming flip to bloom is timed properly and you get intended stretch above scrog. as it grows out and fills in, you'll likely have to make some decisions about older growth that has more branching in middle. Thinning some areas out is okay. try to have 1 vertical cola per 6x6" ares... maybe bit smaller, but airflow is good too. you can even work backward from the size of space you intend to fill to help choose how to shape the plant to get to that point with least wasted growth. Outside you don't have to worry as much about this stuff as you do inside... think of it more as support and a way to properly spread out branches to reduce risk of rot or mold. unlike inside, it's swimming in 2000 umol/s of light from all directions and angles, if out in the open of course. even lower side branching will develop well if not shielded from light... so unlike what i said above, which is more geared toward indoor growing, you want to splay it out, get light penetrating the plant well, get good airflow... spread it out as best you can. i wouldn't worry abot lolipoppig outside, unless you think the area is congested and worried about infection -- likely to happen but not as severe as a full lollipop.
