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.

Found seeds developing on my sapphire og closest to the entrance of the room. Looked over the plants multiple times, and no bananas on any of the plants. Now is there any other way a plant can self pollinate or has some male pollen wandered into my room?

I changed my lighting setup for this one and took out the CFL’s from before, I only have a 300W LED grid hanging now. Will this make a difference? And how big ? I also moved the LED a lot closer for this grow. Would the height it’s hanging from now be okey ?

Looking for a suggestion, check the photos of the lights for the details. My space is a 4L×2W×5T. Just wondering if anyone has experience with a similar space and running LED system with either 300w or 600w. I'd like to go the distance.

Does anyone have experience with scrogging autoflowers? I'm curious if they respond well to the netting, or if there were any other successful ways of supporting the plants that would allow more mobility for turning and such. Thanks All!

Clean them up or leave them alone I’m having trouble deciding if I should just let these girls keep going how I have been because they are absolutely amazing or should I do a big clean up and the canopy and lower canopy to allow some more light to penetrate for some fuller nugs?

Usually I take 3 to 4 fan leaves from each plant a day, cut with scissors to prevent them from shading budsites. I do this every day. Is this correct or am I stressing the plant? they started blooming this week

Should I harvest this plant in six days, or wait two more weeks? I’m away next week and I think I harvested my Polar Express a bit too early and don’t want to do that again. Now at Day 90. Outdoor grow with cool nights means it takes longer than Fast Buds says until harvest.
