Don't be afraid to wrastle around with your plants if you want them to go from say 3 feet to 2 feet. Just break them branches and even out your canopy. No screen neccessary.

I used to veg until they showed sex...... but that takes way too long.
When I turn the lights to 12/12 I use 1/4 the grow ferts I usually do and then use a balanced fert a week later for the stretch. Something with sufficient N and P that will sustain the flowering needs and continued cell building. I have something from a brand called Holland's that is 12-12-6.
Have you ever tried LST (low stress training)?? Instead of snapping off branches, tie them down with a light string/twine. When you break the branches they have to take away from other growth to repair the cells.
