If you are removing leaves you are not lollipopping. You are just being a dick to your plant for no reason. The only leaves that should come off are the ones on the branches.
My post was rather spot on actually. Perhaps the lack on context would lead you to the assumption I was somehow mocking someone? I was simply offering advice based on the majority of the so called lollipopping I've seen on this site.Try reading everything before you type something dumb/

thats basically wat i did they just take away growth where u want it any ways.i will be stipping the bottom 1/3 of the plant next time no light gets low enough in my grow room for the bottom growth
and i can't be fucked buying cfl's to try and make it better
This is not always true. While removing too many leaves or internodal fan leaves will affect the plants ability to photosynthesize, there is evidence that certain stresses will increase both yield as well as potency. I know a guy that has been growing longer than I have been alive. He has run huge commercial houses and if you lived in nor cal within that time, more than likely you have smoked his weed...anyway, he swears by a system he is using now that involves an almost constant stressing of his girls by manipulating the way the light hits them, it involves distance and angle changes, unlike anything I have ever seen. His smoke is also some of the most potent I have sampled and its not some wonder weed, its the basic tried and true AK-47 and white widow.no .. dont trim... but if you feel you must just trim the lower 1/3 of your plant.... trimming causes stress. stress= less yield
good info. never got a solid timeframe on lollipopping. i skipped the trimming in veg stage, but i think i'll lolly em in a couple weeks. won't hurt to have cuttings either.......its simple.. if your doing a sog or any kind of grow where light does not reach the bottom of your plant you should trim it off.. if u dont what happens is the plant diverts energy from the top parts which get light to the bottom half that does not receive light to keep it alive.. kinda like survival mode.. but by doing this the u get popcorn buds when really it should have been energy used up top for yes bigger colas.. trim or lollipop your plants 1/3 to 1/2 way up.. first time 2 weeks before flower. second time 2 weeks into flower
al b fuct trims the bottom 1/3 rd of his plants if its good enough for him its good enough for me
