Hey Bailey! I did a scrog once.. I think it was my first successful grow. A mate of mine had been on holiday in Spain and smelled weed from the garden next to the villa he was renting.
He hopped over the wall to have a look and nicked a bud which had seeds in it. He planted the pips and had more plants than he could deal with so gave me a female which I crippled under some plastic pea netting, cable tied to the upright poles in my tent.
Fookin plant went mental mate.. The upward push from the plant was the most shocking thing about the grow, I had to tie the mesh (thick plastic) to the bottom of the pot to stop the stretch!
The dude who gave me the plant put one indoors too at the same time and he removed loads of leaves... His took ages and yielded a couple of zips.. Mine finished weeks before and I got 12 off the one plant on it's own.
So.. From my one off scrog experience, I'd say don't be defoliating too much buddy..
Mon the scrog.
