Thank you. I utilized a rope method for hanging thats working out. Funny thing is that the main branch that broke is healed and very strong.Wrap the poles with something to make them thicker and clamp fans to that or i actually use a hand clamp that is stronger and tighter and clip the 6’ fan to that.
i'm going to LST on the next grow. This is definitely a learning experienceI cut everything except the top node off a few weeks into flower.
1) Is Scrogging a good idea at this point in time? Can I damage them?
2) I have 5 plants in the grow, because I had no idea what I was doing. Is this ok?
3) For these Vipar 400 W LEDs there are 2 modes, veg and bloom(non dimmable). They are currently set to both positions on each light. Should I simply keep Bloom on to force flower?
I use L brackets zip tied to the poles. This gives the fan clip a nice appendage to bite onto, and allows me to position the fans in a static position for directing airflow as I wish.4) any recommendations for fans? My fans are clip on and while they have good airflow they tend to fall off the pole. So I tied them up so when they slip they dont hit the plants, again! (newb)

Don't scrog at this point. You need to veg the plants for a bit once the screen is in place. You'll want to learn a few other techniques like LST, supercropping, and topping/fimming before then to see maximum benefits. At this point, you won't get any advantage to trying to scrog, and will end up having more PITA work come harvest than is worth the effort.
You plant count is on point for your media and area.
Bloom only offers a higher red spectrum, which encourages flower growth. Full spectrum is optimum, but in your situation I'd leave both on. What you can do is download an app called Light Meter on your phone and check the lux output. You want higher levels of light during flower than you did during veg, and if switching between the modes offers more light output, switch the lights to the mode that outputs the most.

OP, don't do this. Lollipopping has a time and a place. In your situation (as a new grower with low plant count) this will result in a disheartening yield. Personally, I only cut off the absolute bare minimum. Leafs make flowers, flowers don't photosynthesize or transpire, leafs do. You've got a lot to learn before applying aggressive techniques like this.
I consider it a running cost. A few clip fans a year. FYI wind devil clip fans are garbage, hurricanes are hit and miss, I've had some running for 3 years +, some don't last a year. I'm trying out a couple royal sovereign fans now... So far not great. Flimsy and noisy.In my short time i already ran through a couple of clip on fans and other. Its much low quality crap unfortunately. Like the zip solution
