Are these ready to click to 12's?

Looking great for your third grow man. I wouldn't trim any more than that. There's no set rule about how many nodes there should be or anything when you flower.

However, I read before that a good rule of thumb when taking fresh cuttings from a plant is not to take off more than a third of the node on the plant if you want to avoid stress. I would probably apply this to lollipopping before your flip as well, as you don't want to cause the plants stress right before flipping them to 12 12. I was just talking to a guy actually that got some male flowers on a few lower branches from doing a lot of trimming down there.

Just curious as to how your buddy came to the conclusion that the herm was directly attributed to "too much lolipopping"?
 
honestly man...all that shit you trimmed could have been more bud sites. you have more than enough lighting to penetrate almost any canopy. and if the lower buds aren't big enough for you come time to harvest, just harvest the top half then put the smaller buds back under the lights, they wont be as mature as the big buds so they can fatten up for another couple weeks. you would get more bud from the grow.
 
goog point but I dont have a couple weeks for any shit at the bottom. I have new ones ready to go in and replace the current. Thanks they are looking really good, will post some finished pics
