I began reading the sites lollipop threads that have come up and i didnt feel that i was satisfied by the rhetoric. I even felt such shame at not knowing this subject that I demoted myself to the newwwwbie threads. What I want to know is everything about lollipopping...All help will be greatly appreciated. Pics are worth a thousand words or whatever.

I'm interested too.

But you seem to have left it more then open ended.

My Qs to start with:

do it to seed plants or clones? (or both)
If seed plants, keep them trimmed to a single cola through out the veg stage? (pertains to clones too)

Haha you got my attention. Just send the bud to my po box. haha kidding. anyways the lollipop method is a form of pruning. cutting off 1/3 of the lower branches, will divert all energy to remaining branches, thus stimulating growth in one main cola or a few smaller ones if using scrog. basically if the plant has 12 nodes (not counting fan leafs), you would want to completely remove the bottom 4 nodes, giving your plant a "lollipop" shape. the best time to cut is probably about 2 weeks before flowering to give it time to heal before you decide to change the photoperiod. this would most likely increas yeild considerably if done right. good luck!

y not the fan leaves?
