Short answer: when the plant has fully stretched. The typical answer is ~3 weeks into flower. During this phase, the plant has put out several buds along the stretched-out shoots. Lollipopping involves removing these side-buds from the bottom up, trimming off 1/3 to 2/3 of the plant's bottom mass.

Calmag, how much to use and when?? Have spoken to some people and they say every feed and others say, when the plant needs it. What am I looking for as a deficiency of calmag?? And I start using less the further into flower I go??

At what point would you assume a seed will not germinate - I've read most will germinate within 3-5 days - but I'm curious when most people would bite the bullet and start a different seed? (This is not a concern yet - I'm only at 36 hours! I'm just impatient!)

Apart from saving money on the electric bill or as a method of mitigating higher temperatures. what good reason is there to not grow autoflowering varieties on a 24 hour light cycle? With a limited time to get them finished up, why not be growing them on overdrive the whole time?

Hey guys, I'm just wondering if the discoloration I got going on is just the end of the harvest or is it something I need to take care of? Also would you say I'm fine to start flushing this weekend? Or would you wait?

I have read that during the 2 last weeks before flushing, the grower would drop the humidity gradually from 45 to 25percent to force the plant on creating resigns to protect its flowers from the dryness of the climate. What do you guys think, should it be worth trying?!

As I'm increasing my P/K boost levels each watering, I'm ending up with lower and lower pH. I've heard it's not recommended to add silica during flowering, such as that found in GHE pH Up. Is that true or not really a big deal? If true, are there any good simple alternatives?

Currently I am watering in the evening. Is it better to water in the morning? I get the sun hitting the plants at 8am so I’m always concerned if I water in the morning the sun will cause some damage.
