Lollipop question

[miccyj]

BTW OP, I forgot to mention, your girls are looking very healthy and happy, good job so far

 

[snoyl]

lol, yes, I have a grow or two under my belt and I've seen the results first hand, I'm not just regurgitating what I've read on the internet, but meh, whatever works for you.

So when it comes to harvest are you quite happy to trim all that popcorn that once dry will weigh literally nothing?
Im not regurgitating info,Im speaking as someone who learned the hard way that letting all those popcorn nugs grow is a waste of time.Now I only grow the strong buds and colas that have potential.Keeps things way neater too.

I never have any buds that dry to nothing, my plants only produce tight heavy nugz even at the bottom of the plant, that's the whole point.

I've never tried mainlining, but I've heard good things about it, but you will probably want to get a good understanding of lst before trying it, that way you know what to expect when training branches to do what you want.

Hoe big do your plabta get tho coz mi e grow large so I do have the same problem.
I get little popcorn buds they weigh nothing at all.
And that me taking most of the fan leaves off up top to show more light in

Op u said u intend on growing 2 massive plants then hands down def lollipop. Fuck popcorn nugs, they rob the main colas of energy, never are mature, pain to trim, list goes on and on.dont make the same mistake I did bro.

 

[ProHuman]

Cut them lil things off.
If it takes longer to trim it, than to smoke it, I don't grow it.

strip the bottom 1/3 to 1/2 ya plant, thats it, i do it a week before flip then leave a few branches and around day 5 flower take the last few, eliminate the initial stretch of early flower.

i tent to go up thru the plant also and ONLY keep the mains, fuk al lthe crap between fluffy weightless crap that takes waaaay to long to trim

Nice looking plants there Jah, what mix of Indica/Sativa are they? Are you growing 1 plant per light?

wouldnt the plant be wasted the energy during veg tho trying to strech out the lower brancher to reach light ?

And wouldnt it put more energy to the top colas to produce more bud sites ?

Well if you look at previous posts it's pretty obvious who you should listen to. I don't mean to insult miccy here but having a huge airy bud in your profile pic isn't really helping your argument.

LST is a very good suggestion. I use and would recommend lolipopping. A lot of it has to do with light power/reflection/plant height. If you're growing tall plants I wouldn't do it any other way then thinning them out well. If you're growing small plants under lower powered light it may not be a good idea to lolipop.

When in doubt look at the pro's go watch Subcool thin out the bottoms in his room. The guy has a lb of leaf matter he's cut off his plants by the time he's done and he does it for a living.

I would not listen to anything goodgreen has to say, I swear he's here to troll after lookin at his previous posts. He certainly has a know it all mentality for being an idiot.

Just to show I'm not talking out my ass, I fucked up last go and didn't thing ENOUGH this is the difference.

How big is your growing area?

 

[King of Jah]

How big is your growing area?

Fower room is 1.5m x 1.5 meters

My advice would be to transplant them now into your system, give them a week to settle in then install a Scrog screen so that you maximize your growing area. Being 75% Sativa they are going to stretch quite a bit and be pushing your lights higher and higher otherwise, so a screen will give you a nice even canopy and fill your room out nicely.

Everyone is going to give you a different opinion on what they think is best, but I think filling a 1.5 x 1.5 m room with 2 plants that are Sativa dominant would best be done with a screen.

Just my personal opinion, but go with whatever feels right for you and your grow.
