Can someone tell me when I can apply Lollipoping, or if it's already too late?!

Actually, lollipopping should always be done during the flowering stage. When the buds are already marble-sized, you can see which buds at the bottom are worth removing or keeping.

It depends on how long you want to let them grow. Basically always. I only trim the tips if I want more shoots or if the side branches aren't keeping up. Deoliation can always be done, so it's easy... just make sure the tips you want to be higher get light. Good luck and happy growing. P.S. I like your photovoltaic setup^^

Why, they're all nice and evenly tall. I would leave them as they are, maybe lower your net a bit (5cm) and spread the pots a little apart so you can fill the net. Wait about 3 weeks, then lollipopping. For e and look are good. Good luck! ;-)

No, it's better to wait until you see signs of flowers, like a few pistils. You can also remove the large leaves at the top during the stretch that’s coming up; they grow the fastest and cover half of the rest, consuming energy during the stretch through growth and shading, probably more than they provide to the rest of the plant. And never cut too much from the bottom; your plant is still growing out and the structure allows multiple buds to get light. Really just the shoots on the lower 10 cm for now, or everything below your leaf layer there; I would leave everything at height and just below that and trim more freely. Many people over-trim their plants unnecessarily; you only want to remove leaves that cover other large parts and leaves and growth that hardly gets any light and is weak. The rest is functional, and removing it doesn't help at all. It's better not to trim at all before you take away all the energy from the plant.

In my opinion, best time for lolipoping is after final strech of flower is over. So its approx day 16-20 of flower. Till then i do only light bottom clearing. After strech is over, i know or can predict how tall my plant will be, so its easy to know how much to clean, for not loosing harvest and light penetrate my left bottom buds. I target around 50 cm , everything below goes out.
