If they were cuttings from the same mother then it would matter but since they were all from seed and I think different strains it really dosnt tell us which is the better way since each seed and strain will grow different.

Same strain all from same mother.

Next year il do clones.

However this isn't the 1st grow I've done. Every lollipop I have ever done kills the other training types. Every time.

Same for all my friends. The care and thought behind the training shows each and every time.

Windy as fuck today also 100 degrees outside. Both doing well. Beginning to see the end of the tunnel here on these 2.

Its already pretty damn clear cut folks. Didnt do shit will guarenteed be the least yield. Just under 4 zips.

Defoliated will be next in that line is my assumption. But barley. I will say that it was easier to deal with pests with this one.

Lollipop is the beast. Colas longer than my head, branches that can hold those colas with minimal outside support. The structure of the buds and stalks are just leaps and bounds better than the other 2.

There is no question in my mind Lollipop wins in every category.

Massive difference

As always have a wonderful day folks.
I figured you would like the lollipopped one best. It does make a big difference. I lollipop and do selective defoliation on all my plants now. I don't defoliate much, but just enough to get good airflow.

It really does force the plants to focus their energy more on the tops. The results are bigger, fatter buds, and less larf. It also makes trimming easier.

Are you talking indoors? Light angles, and the suns penetration kinda makes that unneeded doesnt it

According to the development of didnt do shit. Everything below the canopy was straight larf.

I dont think that is fully true. While defoliated is developing evenly top to bottom.

Wiz when you weigh Defoliated would you weigh the bud above and below the Topped canopy separately?

It'd be interesting to compare.

Thanks to your grow show, I decided to defoliate more than I normally would today.

Lolli is longer and way fatter then defoliated. Il snap some more pics with a lighter next to some of the buds to show you the drastic difference. Give me a minute.
Defoliated notice the break in the buds you can see stem.

Much fatter but check this out.

Damn near the whole thing has swollen into one huge fucking bud.

And its got about 12 of these.

All of defoliated is disjointed buds.
