Some advice on lollipop

Looking to lollipop my apple fritter. I’ve never done it before. She’s starting to transition to flower. Would now be the time to do it and how high should I go from the ground or do I just strip the lower branches and leave the top of them.

You have the power of the sun at every angle. Don't lollipop those beauties you'll ruin them. @doublejj has massive plants he never lollipops.

Your outdoors....let her rip.
Light penetration is not an issue with the sun.
You have a pest problem though.

Its a perfect time to clean up all that lower stuff 1-2 ft an some of the inner stuff to increase air flow, I wouldn't touch the tops at this point. You do have something funky going on plants dont look 100% healthy.

I would remove anything that's growing inside of the canopy and is underdeveloped. Also remove week, thin, stretched branches.

Some guys here are against which is ok but I am growing outdoors only and had waay better resoults with cleaning plants and removing week underdeveloped parts.

What do you mean? Elaborate please. If you’re referring to the pattern on the lease, that’s been there since the beginning when they were started inside. I had multiple plants going, and this was the only one to show on the leaves. I figured if it was kind of bugged it all would have But I could be wrong. I’m relatively new to growing.

I'm not going to lie. I couldn't definitively give you exactly what's wrong(Maybe overwatering? Too much light?) but those plants look like they're in rough shape. The 3D look + leaves pointing down + the discoloration shows they're very very stressed out.

They should look similar to this one I have growing right now.

Looks like thrips in the last 2 pics
Your young plants look over or under watered

Yes I had a rough start when I started them inside. I was showing the apple fritter. It’s sad that look on the leaves from the very beginning and because it was inside, I assumed it was just way the strain . All my outdoor plant started inside so I just assumed that if it was a bug all the plants would have it. I also spray weekly couple different sprays rotating. I really could be wrong only been growing for a couple years .
