Question lollipoping an autoflowering plant
permalink
I grow autos because they stay short and can be harvested in 2.5 months after the seed has sprouted. And so Im wondering what all i can do to a autoflowering plant without reducing its yields. I was running low on bud so i cut off all the smaller branches on 1 of my autos. So now i have some smoke. The lollipoped plant looks so good I am wondering if i can just lollipop all my future grows.

Does anybody have any experience with lollipoping a regular plant or auto plant? If so, then when should i lollipop, how far up the plant... etc etc

+ rep for all good acurate answers

I have grown autos but stopped because of the small yields. I don't think there would be much advantage to lollipopping them because they are easy to get light on anyway. I got many small colas from mine that added up pretty well. You would lose some of that and I doubt if you would get it back in extra growthof the main cola.

I agree.....their life cycle is too short for you to benefit from it

You guys might be right. They are so short that the light can penetrate half way down the plant.. and if i put some reflective material below them then i can prob get some big nuggets on the bottom...
