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.

One of the three plants in the 5 gallon DWC is almost ready, a good 2-3 weeks before the others. I assume I have no choice but to flush the entire tub with plain water for a week before harvest. I will then need to resume nutrients for the other two; good or bad idea?

Can anyone give some tips on defoliation? Is it bad to do it now that I've just started flower? Was thinking of just hitting the lower area of the canopy and leaves covering bud sites?

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

What do you think how much longer for the Quick One, around 2, 3 weeks? I was thinking of feeding her one more time in the next couple of days and then start to flush. Do you have any guesses on the yield of Quick One? Also curious to what that deficiency is showing on the leaves

Dutch bucket, hempy bucket, bato bucket, etc etc... Conventional medium is perlite/vermiculate. Recent trend has seen some growers go coco above the dutch hole, and perlite below. For those that have tried both, what is best? And why?

What do you guys think about the praying leaves? The internet seems to disagree. Most people seem to think it's a good thing. Everything is in high gear and the leaves are using all of the energy to absorb light. Some camps say it's too much light and it's stressing out.

Hi, It's my first grow and I need advice again. I have a small Orion F1 auto, she's flowering for 24 days (47 days old). I have these buds under scrog that don't get enough light and don't seem to grow fast enough. Do I remove them? Will it help or stun my plant at this stage? TY

I’m doing an early harvest of 2 plants. I wanted to dry the buds in the tent, with the remaining 5 plants, as I don’t have any other air conditioned location in the house. There is a dark space above the lights. 25c & 45% RH atm. Is it a viable idea? Or should I just never do it?

I was wondering if I should defoliation this plant or not. I am growing an auto in the same tent and have another couple weeks before it’s ready to harvest so this plant will be in veg mode for awhile yet. Should I just let this grow and ScrOG it or do some defoliation. Thanks

To prune or not to prune?Hello guys. A beginner question here. Should I prune these "inner" branches or should I let them grow? They are getting a lot of light but I don't know if it's worth letting them bloom. If I have to cut them when would be the best time? I'll leave this question open until Friday.

how’s my girls looking? I didn’t get the smaller one planted until 2 weeks after the first one popped. She is a little slow to the game and I imagine she’ll turn out alright.
