I've got the basic idea about cutting off the lower third of the plant growth to concentrate everything to the main stem but I'm curious about what time to start pruning the plant?

I'm using an aero system and they've been vegging in there for a week and a half now, about 8" tall I plan to flower once the first one reaches 12". I was curious if pruning while only 2 weeks in was ok or would this hinder the growth since they're still so young?

If any of you have some good pictures, or general guidelines about lollipopping I'd love to hear/see them.

Thanks!

nobody lollipops?

2 weeks after flowering, then cut everything off bottom 40% or so

two weeks into flowering is the latest you should do it. you can do it after that but you'll slow down flowering times as the plant recovers. i would start cutting the lower sets as soon as your plant is ready for pruning, preferably while its still in veg state.

my plants are semi lolipop'd and lst'd.

I started lollipopping my old plant 2 weeks before flowering, and used all the cuttings for clones.

Well i'm only veging them out for 2 weeks, going to switch to flower tonight. So if you can do it up to two weeks should I just wait until next week or so?

Or should I start pruning anything off lower third continually up until 2 weeks into flower?

They' re ranging from 5-10" at the moment, maybe I should do the taller ones now and let the shorter of the bunch catch up?

Just wait until the lower 1/3 of the plant's branches are big enough to take decent clones from. ( at least 3 nodes) . As soon as that happens, you might as well start cutting them off.
