Lollipopping: When and How Much?

[Jnic2204]

I Managed to pull 8 pounds off of 12 plants dried on my way to second flowering week 2

Was wondering if you had any pics from right before the harvest?

 

[Nybadboy]

So can I just cut the bottom branches of or some of them or just prune the leaves of the branches

Both.
If the branch is long enough I leave the buds that will get good light and cut the rest off. If not that long chop chop. I hate trimming popcorn.

 

[Nybadboy]

I did that already but was so afraid i did wrong ..thx

 

[JMFM]

I cut her the day before I put into flower and I'm gonna cut some here and there for next couple of weeks she'll be spectacular.

 

[Nybadboy]

Now what will you pull off that one plant realistically ?

 

[Nybadboy]

Because i have 26 of them and more then half are bigger then that

 

[JMFM]

I'm not sure I'm a pretty new farmer this is my first plant with a 30 gallon pot and led light so I guess I'll see.

 

[Nybadboy]

Same here I'm new to indoor...good luck bud

 

[JMFM]

Thanks you as well

I lollipop extensively

 

[Nybadboy]

You sure do but im a first time indoor grower and wasn't sure I was even going to lollipop but I have seen and read so much on it that it was a no brainer

 

[DemonTrich]

Think of it like this.

If you leave all the lower larf (aka useless garbage), the plant has to use its energy growing that useless bottom parts vs spending that energy on the upper top part of the plant. This allowing for bigger colas.

 

[Nybadboy]

Makes all the sense in the world ...I have grown out door but never inside and boy how different the 2 are but I'm now starting to have fun where as I was so worried before

 

[Nybadboy]

Thought i had all kinds of deficiencies when it was a whole time spider mites (aka) aasholes lol

OK, first of all I think everyone tends to forget that marijuana is a weed as is very resilient and strong. I personally don't worry about shocking the plant as I feel it's good for it to struggle a bit. I would go ahead and defoliate (i.e. removing as many leaves as necessary to get light to the whole plant. I'm attaching some more pics. These images were taken today and the plants were defoliated again yesterday at 10 days into flower. The plants were so think that i couldn't see inside of them. Of course, everyone has their own opinion about pruning and the effects of but that's as it should be. I would suggest that you do what you're comfortable with:)
Peace

Mate it's not a weed.

Mate it's not a weed.[/QUOTE I'm not sure what category I label marijuana in. If you look at a tobacco plant it grows in a very similar matter and that's considered a weed.. Man has genetically altered every food source or crop that is planted.. corn would not grow if farmers didn't change the gmo structure unless it's growing out on its on in the wild chances are it's gmo'd some way shape or form

Did mine a week of the flip

I'm in the same boat literally fucked myself... i sat down and thought to myself for a few days on this subject and forgot that I'm a guy trying to get this female to cooperate and she's being a fickle bitch and just letting me kno she ain't having any of my shit because im still sloppy showing her off to the boys and letting all shit flees in.. so until I treat this bitch right no it's not a weed it's a bitch. But I tell you what that weed turns into all said and done is straight happiness. But right now I'm fuckin with bitches
