Looking for lollipopping advice
Mopishstarted grow question 3 years ago
How and when to properly do lollipopping? Is it a single or a multiple day process, what would cause less stress?
I wanted to do it on more than one day, try a slow process, just remove from bottom to top whatever won't get enough light, any suggestions?

hey there Mopish, I do lollipopping in a single day, but when i do it the plants are much taller and larger than the ones you're working with. That being said you have the right idea about reducing the stress as much as possible. If you insist on getting it done, i would say wait a few more weeks in veg before you flip, and do it one or two weeks before the flip. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Here another grower in rdwc and i never lollipop. First of all you reduce yield because she has less leaves that produce photosynthesis
and second you get a good extra on popcorn buds. I'm on Roberts on this one.
It also causes stress that's unnecessary, in combination with an unnoticed instable feed or ratio you can get hermie's too.
On a single plant i get around 20 grams good popcorn and 200 grams of dense, sticky buds. Full of resin too usually.
The popcorn goes to my sister or for a good oil or thc drink ;)

Don't do it. Ruins a harvest for a handful of choice buds. Looks neat but that is about it. If you wish it is a strip the plant of everything but you selected tops. Unfortunately you cut all the energy producing leaves away is what kills the final weight. Good luck and happy growing 🌱

Is it too late for more defoliationIs it too late for more heavy defoliation?
Last Sunday I did a lot of trimming and thought I'd over done it, now I realise I didn't do nearly enough. She's switched to flower and I was going to change to bloom nutrients today. Thanks guys

Defoliation every 3 days during floweringI heard about defoliation every 3 days during the first 3 weeks of flowering. My sweet critical CBD is almost ending her first week, I already defoliate once, but I think I have to work on it more to let branches grow. What do you think about it? Thank you all!

Should I defoliate during flower?Should I defoliate during flower? I have two Green Crack plants growing right now. I am in early flower stage and one of the plant has some dense foliage under the SCROG canopy that is hurting light penetration and zapping energy I want the plant to use for growing dense buds.

Defoliation Trim Uses ?Hi fellow Growmies, I just done my 26 day flower defoliation. I have quite a substantial amount of lower flower branches and fan leaves.
I hate wasting anything from this beautiful plant so would love to know some ideas on what I could do with it?

Did I remove too much growth?Did I cut too much? She was getting so bushy that there was water puddling on the leaves.
She’s in very early stage of flowering and didn’t plan on cutting again but she’s growing like crazy.

Autoflower defoliation questionDid some defoliation at the bottoms of the plants to help lower humidity, did I do enough or do too much? Also should I trim some of the skinny branches and pinch out popcorn buds? I will wait until next week to do that if I do so they can recover from the defoliation

Defoliation. Yes or No?Want to hear some other opinions on defoliation of fan leaves. Do y'all defoliate or no? Everything I have ever learned about plants tells me not to defoliate. Why would you cut off the plants solar panels that absorb the light and store nutrients to drive photosynthesis?

He visto un vídeo donde hablan de defoliación y poda de bajo luego de pasar las plantas a 12/12, he leido que una vez se coloca las plantas a florecer nono debería; ahora mismo tengo unas plantas que llevan 5 días que las pase a 12/12 y tengo debajo de la malla unas ramas que no llevan luz y en la parte de arriba unas hojas muy grandes que paran el paso de la luz, puedo defoliar y hacer poda de bajos al 7mo dia?
