Im looking forward to it! I've been trimming all new growth since week 2 of flower. Left a few lowers for testers and its been really good. She's not quite ready yet either so she'll be stronger after harvest. I'll keep you posted.

Can I offer some small advice?
Stop sounding so sure of things.
You're just asking for trouble, and frankly I'm getting tired of editing and deleting you and you're little fan club's posts.

my bad..but veg leaves gather energy..bud sights dont..well they have tiny bud leaves to resort on if their fan leaves get eaten or damaged..

my plant grew off its tiny sugar leaves and did terrible even with lots of soil food..no sugar energy to make from the sun with no leaves..

its about the leaves

I can easily see that trimming new popcorn bud growth that forms after week 2 is making the higher bud sites larger than ever before.

yeah but trimming veg doesn't help. when people lollipop they cut 1/3 of the bottom branches off so all pop corn flowers are removed sending energy else where

I personally wouldn't worry about trimming the bottom leaves with the buds if you want. The lower branches aren't doing a whole lot anyway. Depending how big of a grow you're doing it gives you better air flow too.

Everything gets cut. I have main bud on top of each stem and maybe 1 or 2 right below. No popcorn or new leaves are allowed to grow below that. Don't know if its the airflow, energy focused on less bud sites or what but she loves it. My next seedlings are already getting new techniques tried on them.

I also trimmed entire 10 lowest branches when flowers started, roughly 2 weeks after 12/12 switch. There are no small buds and she still hasn't swollen over the hairs.

yeah if my plants ever got tall enough that the light doesnt hit the bottem, or if youre doing a scrog, the best thing to do is to trim 1/3 of the plants branches at the bottem of the plant, where they meet the main stalk.

How often do you have to peep around and pick off the new flowers appearing?
About once a week like me?
I didn't lollipop mine, but I try and keep the lower stems clear of the new small stuff that I can tell won't have time to ripen into anything.
