JackSkellingtonstarted grow question 5y ago
hey, I’d like a couple of your opinions regarding defoliation + lollipopping. I’ve reached the point where I need to defoliate my jungle, but I’m afraid of messing up. I can already do lollipopping, but defoliation remains a mystery.

Defoliation can be used to accomplish different things at different points of your grow. If you're trying to grow a more symmetrical plant it can be used in veg to slow down overly aggressive branches. I find it useful when SCROGing a particularly leafy strain to eliminate humid zones and promote airflow. Powdery mildew loves leaf on leaf contact. In flower, sites that are unshaded with good airflow around them develop better than a shaded site near the main stem. Most of this gets corrected with LST of some type, but thoughtfully removing a leaf here and there can go a long way with a bushy plant. Not all strains react to defoliation the same. If you got a stretchy plant with few fans you should probably avoid it.

I was told not to cut the sun leaves but to just lollipop. How do you all do it with the sun leaves??

The key to experimenting with defoliation is doing it thoughtfully. Don't just remove leaves at random, only remove a leaf if it's creating unwanted shading of lower bud sites. If done on a healthy plant, it's unlikely you will do any major damage to the plant(at least during veg since it can always be given time to recover) so experiment with it to see how your plants respond to it. Personally I like to do a fairly thorough defoliation right before I flip to 12/12 and then a lighter one after the flowering stretch.

Off shoots stay or go away?Trying to learn a little bit about the pruning and defoliation processes. I understand you wanna prune large fan leaves that block bud sites early in flower. But should I go ahead and also take these offshoot branches that formed close to the top of my main branches after LST

If i wanted to lollipop this, how much should i take off? - lollipopping, scrogWhen and how much should i take off? - Considering she is not very tall, but very dense.
She has been defoliated quite heavily, both before and during flower stretch but i feel like she needs more.

flowering fem lollipopping?First week flowering, should cut away the less exposed sprouts? Branch in pic 1 is almost totally hidden and you can see it being much smaller. Also not sure about cutting the two tiny sprouts in pic 2, there are many similar to those in other branches.

BeschneidenHello, I had to trim my ladies a bit today so they wouldn't take the light away from the smaller colas. I hope that wasn't a big deal; it was one leaf per plant. The cuts are clean, but one turned a leaf 90 degrees right after cutting.

New grower - advice on what to do with this growth below the canopy.What can I do with this growth under the canopy? I've removed a few leaves to create a canopy and increase airflow (i also have limited space), and still have some growth on the branches. Dont want them turning into colas. Can I remove or best to leave on for now?

ScrOG / Lollipopping / DefoliationI'm thinking of going for ScrOG for the blooming (which is just starting) – maybe even lollipopping or defoliation.
I would love to get some feedback!
- What I should bear in mind?
- Does my setup look suitable?
- When should I start with what?
- Any good resources?

LollipopHello
Which parts should I cut to get a good lollipop? The ladies are getting too warm and the leaves are overlapping and sweating. That's why I installed the net today and I'm trying to make even more space. I've already done 10-12 cuts every day.
