Should i trim the bottom 1/3'd now..(lollipop them)

Ok so I'm growing 3 delicious critical neville haze there all around 15 inchs all have been topped twice (4tops) and are close to 6 weeks old was thinking to lollipop them then wait the week so they can recover then switch the light from 400W-MH to 400W-HPS and go to 12/12 too start the 100day flower cycle ill upload pics a little bit later .....your advise/feedback is appreciated....wanna switch it now because I have about 4.5-5 feet max growing hight using a closet.. and knowing there a tall plant want too let them double and possibly triple in size and still have room so there not too close to the light

I don't lollipop plants until the 2-3rd week of flower. The point is to strip any bud sites that aren't getting adequate light and let the nutes go to the remaining sites. Next time I would Lst those plants under a 400 because if it's a tall plant, that light won't do much for buds on the lower branches. Helps control height too. From here I would flip the light if your ready and remove the lower stuff in a few weeks as it develops

Ive chopped every fan leaf off my plants when they started to flower. You can check them out in my sig, I dont think it hurt them at all really.

Hmm from what. I read I thought u weren't suppose to trim in flower period because its too stressful and increases the chance of hermi ... But even still I let the first top grow extra so its more spread out so all the tops/and middle of the plant will get great light

And what's stopping me from LSTing right now... I mean the plants are quite wide from the topping I'm sure with a little finese they would bend to my will =)

And plz watch the thread gonna be posting recent pics soon too show u where I'm at with them

Nice! If you want lst then tear it up, you have a nice canopy already though. I remove any growth that isn't getting good light throughout flower period and never had a hermie problem.

As I understand it, lollipoping the plants once they started flowering is a bad idea.
