Im new to lolipoping & Ive read a few threads on lollipoping however they all say to lolipop at different times for example one thread to cut in the last week of veg & another said to cut in 1st & 3rd week of flowering.

my clones are rooted & are only 6inch tall currently veging for a week but when should I cut off the lower 1/3?
And can doing so cause the plant to hermie?

you should try to do it during veg growth.. about a week before flowering.. so the plant can heal itself before starting to flower.. but you can do it, with success, a couple weeks into flowering.. this will stress the plant more than it would during veg.. but nothing your plants shouldnt be able to handle..

yes, it is possible this stress could lead to a hermie.. BUT that is dependent on the strain and how strong the genetics are.. if its a strain that has hermie tendencies to begin with you could easily end up with one.. but if it resists hermieing then there is a good chance it wont hermie...

when you should actually lollipop is up to you and how long you plan to veg for.. if you dont plan on having a very big plant to begin with it probably isnt going to be worth lollipopping.. but if you plan on a larger plant, then it would be worth it.. but depending on your plants growth rates and how big you want to veg it to, when you will actually lollipop will change...

I do it near the end of veg, and then follow up again 2-3 weeks into flower. Then just rub off any new lower growth or buds that try to form.

But a 6" plant doesn't need to be lollipoped. The whole point is to remove the growth that is too far from the light, to produce anything worthwhile. For instance: If you're using a 400w light that means anything beyond the 18 - 24" light penetration

Im doing a perpetual grow so after rooted I veg for couple of weeks then flower. Im not concerned with big plants as Ill be growing this in 4 litre pot bags plus itll be SOG.

Im doing a perpetual SOG in soil with 4 litre pot bags so the plants will be small but Ill have 25 plants close together (restricted grow area) with a 400W HPS so I reckon its best for me to lollipop. May I ask how long your plants take to recover when you cut off the lower 1/3 during veg?
