Few questions on my Blue Mystic ScrOG!

Hey guys another update coming in!
So far ScrOG has been going well, although I wouldn't be sure how to tell if it wasn't haha but everything seems to be going smoothly.
2 changes I've made to my scrog since my last post are...
1. Changed where I've got my lights situated, currently got 1 on the top, one vertical up the side and one horizontal right next to her. Pictures below will show you guys where the two lights on the sides are. I couldn't really get an even distribution of the lights around the box so I figured on horizontal next to it would be good, getting the plant to fill the net depth wise of the case. The other light on the right hand side was placed for two reasons. Firstly I had the main steam being weaved towards the other side of the case and figured I would need extra light on the right side to ensure she covered the net evenly, and secondly some of the light protrudes slightly lower than the net, I figured this would mean bud sites would begin to grow out towards the light on the side while also angling up, and as such would eventually reach the net on this side creating an even spread.
2. I've started pushing most of the fan leaves through the net right out of the way. Some of the fan leaves are quite large and I noticed these were actually blocking the light to some of what I believe to be bud sites. I figured the bud sites want to receive as much light as possible and the fan leaves didn't really need it quite as much.

PLEASE let me know if what I've done here is incorrect so I can fix it, it is my first grow so I am unsure if this is the correct way to be doing this! The photos should help to clarify what I mean.

You want nothing below the net on scrog.

Your trying to give yourself an even canapoy and push all the energy upwards. Light under the net won't do you any good.

What he said. Also, the bud sites don't use the light; the surrounding foliage absorbs the light and converts it into the various forms of food, etc, that the plant needs. The buds being exposed to light helps with resin production and hence potency, but the flowers don't need the direct light to grow.

I'd remove the net and just tie down the branches outwards, Scrog seems pointless if you're not working with at least 3x3 ft space where you really weave those stems around the net: I think you can keep your budsites pretty even with some LST, but that's just my 0.02$
