Hey guys been trying my hand at lollipopping my plants now on the last 3 grows (including the current) and the first two i only took off the bottom 1/3 which is the standard, but lately i've seen afew growers take it up to the 2nd node from the top. I've tried this on the current grow and had some impressive results so far!
So onto the question, I did the first lollipop 2 weeks prior to flowering, the 2nd one was one week into flowering, I'm just about to go into the 3rd and am wondering whether I should do another? I've been reading some really old shit on the forums can't really seem to find anything recent..bongsmilie my main concern is will doing another lollipop effect yield/run risk of herm. or will it increase bud size n structure? that's half the reason i'm doing this lil experiment, just wanna know so i don't go fucking things up unnecessarily ;) anyways here's some pics from veg to afew days ago just to give u guys an idea on where it's at

haha damm alright mixed answers as per usual! :P thanks for the props n imput though guys much appreciated. yeh i know it seems pretty extreme scroglodyte but that was kinda the point, the new growth is actually starting to branch out pretty hard (will get some closer pics in, i know the ones that are up aren't the best) so that's kinda why i was questioning whether to do a 3rd?
as caregiver said i want to get minimal if no popcorn buds happening just to see if the main colas fill out larger than usual (i know this is strain dependent but out of the DWC i'll usually get forearm sized buds)
n na not running any trellis' atomized, probs should though the AK47(in the DWC setup) is getting abit unruly! i'll try out a SCRoG next time round though

extreme pruning can really set back progress. too "shocky." imo. i always leave 2/3's

i hear you bro, haha i usually don't go out of my way to put my ladies through hell ;) so what do you reckon then just let em do their thing from here? they've only just started throwing pistols the other night when i checked them so not looking at any major flowering action for at least another week or so i'd say? they are going through their stretching phase though

Going to get some pics of my lollipops when the lights come on, starting the 3rd week and getting frosty! No need for a trellis but a center mast for support will come in handy later.

Im going to predict less than average yield with this method. I peronally wouldnt do major pruning past a week in flower. Especially serious defoliation.

Yo man! This is my first grow and i gave my girls a hair cut in the final week of veg and 2nd week of flower. These are under two 400W HPS and nearly almost there, this was taken a week ago! Good luck on your grow brother.

Alright here's some pics of the 3rd and final lollipop i did last night. you'll be able to see how much i've taken off each plant, didn't go too extreme this time though i still kept the canopy nice and high. if you want to see pics of the full grow to get a comparison of how the plants looks with a bit of greenery on them here's a link:https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/571187-multi-strain-grow-coco-dwc.html

I'll definitely still be posting results on this thread, though they won't be too frequent. feel free to post your own lollipopping venutres in the meantime! peace til then all bongsmilie
