SCROG training question

I have a question about scrog training. I am getting pretty close to going to 12/12 and am wondering how long to keep training my plants (Master Kush) under the screen. I see a lot of posts where people keep training under the screen till it is done stretching. If I do this will there still be enough vertical growth for all the bud sites to grow through the screen? I am concerned about the flower sites not growing taller after the stretch. Thanks
 
Training during the stretch will give a wider surface area to "absorb" the light, more light on buds = The harder the nugs, but will be slightly smaller. Not training will give you taller buds, but may be less dense and fluffy toward the bottom. In my opinion, training all the way through the stretch is the best way to go, just make sure you have plenty of drying pegs.

On a seprate note, Maybe if using the SCROG method, then an 18/6 light schedule might be best so you dont get the super stretch when you switch. Easier to control and less work needed....just a thought.

BTW, I am not an expert so don't take my word as Gospel. Good Luck.
