i prefer tucking to chopping if possible i was really nervous of fucking up so i coulda takin off more just didnt wanna over do it on my biggest plant...im definitley gonna make this a routine practice with my grows thoDP *snicker* plant looks great. great job topping early. The more you do it the more comfortable you'll get, if thats 16 days in I see a few more branches I'd probably snip. I usually do a 2nd lollipop around week 3 after stretch is done, if light can't get to it, chop…. if just a big fan leaf needs removed to expose a bud, I chop the leaf not the branch.
btw that huge plant in the back is now my first lollipopped plant now at day 26
