Default Lollipopped Plant
permalink
Here is a pic from my current grow journal that shows the top of one of the plants that I lollipopped. It is the cola on the right hand side of the picture. You notice a smaller bud in the back there, that is from another plant that I did not lollipop nearly as much.

OR
Are you suggesting to lollipop off spindly branches during that entire phase?

Thanks much for your help in this post, its been great.

yea i love this idea but i gotta agree aboutthe range of wen to do it??? this is like the complete opposite of suppercrooping.

Has anybody heard any information on lollipop-ping an auto-flowering low life plant?

If had an autoflowering plant, I would probably just wait until she is a week or so into budding and then lop those bottom babies off. The two out of three plants in my current grow that I lollipopped big time have the fattest damn nugs on top. Harvesting tonight too!

Bad move promoted by those who don't understand what makes a plant tick.

I am always open to new ideas, opinions, and information. Can you explain what makes you feel this way? What is it that makes you feel that this method is a bad move?

Thanks bro!

It is critical to know the plant's growth traits before doing something like this. I have grown strains where the top cola will explode when the bottom branches are removed. I've also grown strains that require you to preserve as many budsites as you can through flower. These are the small yielders like Bubba Kush that won't form colas. Instead you get a golf ball size nug at each budsite. Lollipopping this strain would destroy the yield. So I strongly recommend growing out the strain normally to find out what it does before doing any extreme pruning. The exception is if you have an overcrowding situation. If you are so tight on space that an entire lower branch is 100% shaded then it is best to lose it.

NICE POST of Information Mared. These underlying pieces of information that people might not think about before doing this are exactly what this thread needs.
