Default NOOB TIP of the day...
Hey there all you new and excited growers, CannaBoss here!

Here's a tip for you that is sure to increase your yields...

It's called "Lollypopping" your plant. This technique is better suited for plants that are allowed to grow fairly tall in veg. I go at least 24'' in my veg cycle.
Once I achieve my desired height, I cut the smaller/ less-producing stalks off(use as clones if desired) to almost half way up. This forces the maximum growth to the tops. I wait at least 7 days to put into flowering so the plant can recover from any shock it may have endured. All the little shoots that would produce the small worthless buds are now gone, so think of it this way, hypotheticaly ... The plant is pre-destined to grow only a certain amount of bud determined by its' height and strain.say a 24'' plant will grow 5 oz. Do you want the 5 oz. of buds scattered, or condensed into 4 or 5 big buds?
When I first tried this, I was worried I wasn't going to get as much bud as if I just let it go. Not the case. This is a technique used by Arjan "the King of Cannabis" and Remo from Advanced Nutrients. You can see his growshow called the Urban Grower. Urban Grower | Advanced Nutrients Medical | Medicinal Marijuana Cultivation Information The first pic could have been cut even more on the bottom, but you can see the 12'' of no stalks. Good Luck, and Happy Growing!

Nice post, and picks!! This round I took off about 4 branches each plant, I felt strange about taking more! So I will be seeing the end result in about 4-5 weeks. But from what you have posted, I may trim up a bit further on the batch the is about to go into flower..

Just give them about a week hu? I trimmed mine the first day in the flower room, I don't know where I read to trim at that time, but I had read that at some point. Cutting them at that time did not stunt them at all! They took off just like normal..I will trim the veg plants today, and give that a try. I am sure all strains are different, and there is many variables..Thanks for the link also, I have been watching vids for an hour now! There is some interesting stuff on his page..Hey what do you think of Advanced Nutrients? Any experience?

THANKS for this tip. It makes perfect sense as I have done similar for ohter types of plants. I am going to try this on at least half of my first grow plants.

You can cut in flower, but I like to alleviate any stress in the beginning stages.
I use the entire line of A.N.
Sensi Grow and Bloom 2 part. 2plus system. it really works well.
