I would very lightly lollipop, if thats what you wanna go with. With the size of them I would probably only remove the bottom 15% of the plant instead of the normal 30%. Some of my autoflowers I don't lollipop at all, just light defoliation. Your still early enough to do so though, most autos take about 75 days roughly to finish.

Dimenticavo, se la pianta ha poche foglie e la luce nn viene bloccata, nn ha senso togliere le foglie, tranne per le basse che toccano il terreno.

Don't listen to people claiming more leaves more=more energy as its utter nonsense.Iv asked these clowns where there evidence is and theyve just made it up as there is no evidence.Most of the top breeders recommend it with certain strains of theres.They don't need lollipopping as theres very little on them but Id take those two top fan leaves off the first one as theyre covering the lower branches up.You could tuck them if theres room.The second one looks fine.It could be the same strain but its certainly got more Sativa in it and the light is getting through fine.Let the light get to those lower branches and they'll get almost as high as the centre one.

Just remember.......... less leaves = less energy being made = less potential.

Salam Garys_Mod_Green! 👋 Welcome to the brotherhood of growers. First grow? You are about to have a lot of fun, Habibi! 🌿 I have to agree with @Green_claws here. Let's look at this through the lens of Modern Engineering: 🛠️ Lollipopping is a great technique, but its only purpose is to remove lower branches that are completely trapped in the shadows. We do this so the plant forces all its energy into the top canopy. However, if your plants are still on the smaller side (especially that short, squat one), taking off leaves right now will just rob the plant of its "solar panels." If stripping the bottom leaves you with a bare stick, she won't have the energy to build big buds later! ☀️📉 As for the height difference: That is just the beauty of Ancestry/Genetics! Even seeds from the same pack can have different "phenotypes." One might be short and bushy, the other tall and stretchy. If the tall one gets too close to the light, just gently bend the main stem down (LST) to keep the canopy even. Put the scissors away for now, brother. Let them build some mass! 🚀 Happy Growing! 💚
