Lollipopping?

What exactly is lollipopping? And when should it be done? Any help would be appreciated

Lollipopping is removing the lower foliage, here is a good example picture.

Ok thanks for the example, any chance you know when this should be done? I am in my second week of flowering and I have hairs all over the place

i personaly do it right before flower then a final about three weeks into flower.

Ight I might just do it as soon as I see some little popcorn nugs

I do it once or twice in veg, or after I take clones. then 2-3 weeks into flower.

lolipopping is when you are new to growing weed and you don't know how to top your plant correctly

lolipopping is also referred to as the sog method.

It's where ALL branching is removed. Leaving only the single top cola.

I take a few lower branches for clones but don't lollipop or defoliate ever. Just does not make a huge difference.

Defoliating before flowering doesn't hurt and helps bud sites that otherwise would not receive light.

lol. a total contradiction of the point you were trying to make. i suggest you look up defoliate before you start passing out bogus info.

and to say they neither of the 2 doesn't make a difference is just too funny to even get into or debate about.

I would have to agree with CM but i will also say i would do it two weeks prior to flowering so they have time to rejuvenate from the stress of Defoliating.
