Looks fantastic! You'll figure it out. Hell ya already have..lol I've kinda just used the 10-14 day of pulling under. If I have a known stretchy strain I'd train to 3 wks. But most do well with 10-14.
Floater are simple tools. Makes scrogging a little easier and so simple to use.
My on CJ plant got colas about 18" at the perimeter of the screen. That's about as high as I'd want them to go.

Under the screen talk.....
What a difference a little playing around with early training and floater screens can make. The type of plant makes a big difference as well.
A seed plant with no early tie down training. It was planted and left to grow normally. Did some heavy super cropping on it and it finished in a floater. Not a lot going on under there.
Stepping it up a little is a normal clone that was trained down as soon as it rooted and was up potted.
The flowering clone is the winner under any screen. It will out perform all others. Once regenerated every leaf that emerges a branch comes with it. Doesn't take long to fill a space with that kind of growth. These clones take an extra step to reveg but they are worth the wait.
Cleaning out the undergrowth. Well, that's totally up to you. I've done it both ways and can't really see any difference.
My main goal in cleaning out undergrowth is one, to take clones and two, to increase ventilation on a plant that is clumped up and leafy.
Does removing growth below make bigger buds? Some believe so. I do it for other reasons but it may help.

day 23 off flip. Flowers are starting to bloom and plenty of them never had so many bud sites, crystals already starting on fan leaves. In middle off setting up 15L res as she’s eating 4/5L a day, I may give another trim not sure yet.

@greenmobster440 thank you so much for taking the time to write this up and show us . Thus is exactly what I needed. All my awnsers are awnsered I will end up dwindling down to 2 plants in a 2x4 using a floater I'm thinking I gta beable to hit a half p especially if I'm on point with my feedings let's see any other points you can give me ? Just start training early I guess should I use one huge pot for both plants or two separate ten gallons ?

I'm not Gmob but I can say you will have better results with separate containers. 2 plants in 1 pot will cause problems. Root bound, salt buildup, etc. If one plant has an issue and the other doesn't, you end up causing both to have issues trying to fix the 1.
Make sense?
Yep a lot Since I had that issue my first grow. I was growing in very large totes outside 3 plants to a box. The one in the middle was pissed off and I ended up killing all 3 trying to fix the obe in the middle. I should have culled the obe I was having issues with . Nope my dumb ass tried to fix it and made it so much worse. Killed all 3
