If i wanted to lollipop this, how much should i take off? - lollipopping, scrog

Something like that depends on the plant's growth pattern - lanky vs bushy and also timing. You cut off growth later on, it's just cutting off growth. It won't magically redistribute elsewhere if vege/flower growth is done or ending. If you think some lower areas will be overly croded, systematically remove some competing growth. Knowing how deep you usually see good buds vs larfy buds is the guide... leave more than you expect until you have a better idea where that imaginary line can be drawn... As you get familiar you'll just prune off anything below that line. This takes a bit of imagination if you do it early after flip - need to know how much growth you'll likely get after flip to do it well and avoid cutting out some of your yield. If you want to limit larfy buds, most of the effort to do that invovles a tightly controlled canopy. Over-crowding causes an excess portion of larfy buds. over-crowding will require a more extreme lollipop. Like i said above more times than not removing stuff only reduces yield. Better training and canopy management will reduce percentage of larf while retaining yield and requiring less effort to prune stuff off. Like anything else, more is not always better for number of colas. 3 'primary' colas per sq ft is usually more than sufficient to maximize yield. Larf can be used for things like bubble hash.
