I'm a major league lollipopper on my photoperiods so I'll chime in. LMK if I've left anything out!

I do the big defol and stripping at least a week before flip. That allows the plant to start moving all new growth to the top of the plant where you want the colas to develop.

Here is a before and after of my standard lollipop:

I take all the inner branches that will never make the canopy as well as a lot of the leaves from the lower and middle of the plant.

Here's a pic of what that looks like 10 days later (different plant):

My goal is two-fold: force all growth to the top and create airflow through the middle when it starts to get dense during flower.

21 days after flip (sativas take longer) I will do another cleanup, but this time all the fans remain. I take off any new weak branches that have grown over the last month, and because my goal is #nolarf, I take off any flowers on the lower part of a branch that I don't think will connect to the main top on the end.

Here is what my 21-day post-flip thinning looks like:

100%. You can get more cuttings when you lollipop than you can possibly use unless you have a farm!

This is what i want to achieve! Your plants look fantastic sir InTheShed!

My plants in veg are half your size from what i see.

So lets say i am training 10 branches and i am 1 week before 12/12, is it ok to lollipop my branches until 3rd or 4rth node? Is this going to give me a total of 9 or 10 nodes with flower after the stretch is done?

Are you growing outdoors? In a greenhouse?

I love your style. I cant wait to apply this knowledge on the next batch!!!!

Thanks Known! I grow outside in the backyard during the day with supplemental lighting indoors at night. When I want to flip I just turn the lights off inside at night, so I get two grows in a year that way. I used to try to keep that up during the winter but this year and last I'm just growing in the tent November to March.

I never count nodes so it's hard for me to say, but when I lollipop it's the whole plant since any lower nodes that aren't near the top are already gone by then. I tend to top above the 8th node and tend to cut off at least the first, so I guess mine are 7 nodes, but with inner growth from training it's 14 mains but more from everything else at the canopy.

Here's my Grandpa's Moonshine from fall of 2023:

and this is it hanging (13.7oz dry):

Not 100% #nolarf but pretty close!

The definition of big bud

You get two grows that means you veg for 4 months to get them in that size before flip right?

Bravo for putting all the work in to get that second harvest and to get these big plants!!

Im still unaware of how much to strip…

If i make the big lollipop 1 week before flip, until 3rd node, by the time the week passes i think im gonna end up with 2 extra nodes making a total of 5 nodes before the flip.

I will try this and see where i end up.

Hopefully everything will be better!

Most years I would start something in March and veg until May and flip for a late summer harvest, and do another seed drop in June for late fall. This year and last I pared it down to one outdoor grow because I really have way more on hand than anyone can smoke.

I'm unsure how the nodes enter into it. Do you mean cut off the first two and make the 3rd node the lowest? I've selected the nodes that are staying long before I lollipop if that helps.

Merry Christmas to all the Knowns and Unknowns!
