So no side growth or just a little? I noticed a little side growth in photo above - based on node or growth of the side branching?Good vid. I just have never been able to get indoor yields that met my expectations until I got out of the mindset of producing more buds per plant and started thinking in terms of grams per square foot. You pack 72 lolli-popped plants in 8" (2 gal) grow bags on a 4x8 table and you get a whole lot of gm per s/f!!! Shoots keeping plant count low though, if that's a concern. I've seen some friggin' incredible yeilds from trained plants, I just have never pulled it off. I found this way, it works well for me, so I ran with it. Your own results may vary!!! LOL
On another note, FIMMing is not the same as topping. Topping will give you 2 mains. FIMMing will give you 4 mains. History is too long to go into, but a dude thought he fucked up and missed the mark when he topped, and he ended up with 4 mains instead of the 2 he was hoping for.
Do you have a thread where you share your technique? I know there has got to be more than just chopping her up.Based on node. I missed a few, mostly on the Sativa dominant phenos. The Indica doms were TIGHT!!!!
Well, not to disagree with you, but I think you may have taken "lolly-popping" to a higher level. A single cola monster is a bit more than lolly-popping... I hope you reconsider and do a write up on it as i know myself and others would love to possibly learn from someone like you that has mastered the technique - whether you consider it your own or notI haven't started a thread on it because it isn't MY technique. I followed the advise of others. Just use the search function using the key word lolly-popping. I kinda accidentally fell into it, as I went a little crazy taking clones just prior to putting them into the flower room that time and was AMAZED at the results. Biggest fucking buds I have ever grown. That was a pretty decent yielding strain, but not known for the biggest buds when grown out normally. This way they were like bread loaves.

Flowering under 3 1K HPS
all clones vegged 30days, i then trim all axial growth just prior to flower (these are the next crop). Never calculated yield per plant, right at 5.5 lb , average of about 1 to 1.25 oz per plant. Strain dependent of course. I run a good sat/indica hybrid, fairly good yield, but mind melting.
you get 5 and a half pounds on a 8x4 table with three lights? Good god man, please start a grow thread
