the purpose of lollipoping

gotot · Feb 15, 2009

I know its so the plant can concentrate all of it's energy on fattening up the top buts but does that mean if you dont lollipop the buds wont bloom to their full potential otherwise or does it mean the flowering time is sped up?

richjames · Feb 15, 2009

i believe its more of a SOG thing. More plants in less space but still with a decent yield. Add all those colas up in a SOG setup and u could end up with some real weight.

Lollipopping to me at least is more of a commercial thing when you want to maximize space and put plants close together.

You make too many smart-ass comments to be starting threads like this.

Because, u could put MORE plants in there lollipoppin, and what nugs are nearly always the biggest, best looking, and the heaviest? Colas. More colas, more weed.

i dont understand.. if your going to strip a plant of it's bottom, why would you even bother going it tall at all?... hey, what do you have against the little nuggets? if you dont want yours i'll take them bongsmilie

Hey man, nothin against the little nugs, don't get me wrong, theyre all good :lol:

. But it seems they mostly end up as shake, which is still good too, but lacks the BAG APPEAL. Hmmm.... bag appeal, think i'm on to somethin there...

Exactly! Though, just because ya wanna get the max bud in the minimal space, that doesnt make you commercial, just makes ya economical!!!

gotot · Feb 15, 2009

whynot just LST then? isn't the more economical?..or maybe lst some and top some to get two layers of plantage

GypsyBush · Feb 15, 2009

I lollipop...

I rather have one large bud than many small nugs..

The weight is about the same... just gets transferred from the bottom to the top...

It is all just a matter of preference...

I like big buds and I cannot lie.... ;-)

Here are the latest lollipops... 1/2 to 3/4 oz each... and they occupy no more space than the pot... so you can have an army of them....

Cheers... :bigjoint:

gotot · Feb 15, 2009

looks dank... but what if the growshoots at the top already started extending out? bud only grows at the nodes.. you wont have one big nug right?

doniawon · Feb 15, 2009

gypsy what strain is that and are them 6" pots and how many per table.. 3 or 4 foot??

and how long did you veg..??????????//

That's kind of an ignorant and arrogant statement. Just because they don't have as much money as you and they speak a language you can't understand doesn't mean somebody knows less than you.

Remember, just because someone may speak with an accent, doesn't mean they THINK with an accent.!

your right... i guess the real the point i was trying to make was that marijuana is a durable plant that grows in the wild without humans fucking with it so it's not like they plant cannot survive on it's own...even with decades of marijuana growing those guys in india can't afford the necessary equipment to grow dank weed but they do anyway.... my intent wasn't really to insult their intelligence... rather their lack of equipment

Thanks!

I am not sure I understand what you mean... but if you don't set it up from the beginning, chances are you will not get the desired result...

The way I do it, A; B. Fuct style is to...

TRIM THE LOWER 3RD OF THE PLANT AND CUT ANYTHING THAT GROW OVER 1"... RE-TRIM @ WEEK 3...

If you do that... you will get SOG type single colas...

Unknown Strains... there are 2 indica heavy strains on that pic..

Gallon pots yeah...

The plants use only th space of the pot, so you can cram as many as you have room for pots...

3 or 4 foot what? plants? no the are about 18"... see the lighter ?

No vegg... as soon as the clones have roots, they flower...

and now that I think of it.. one of those is actually 12/12 from seed, making it 3 strains in that picture...

Cheers.... :bigjoint:

I just say that b/c if your growing for yourself, its best to get the most out of the least amount of plants. Especially since we all grow medically ;-)

and have a limit on the number of plants.

But hey whatever floats your boat.
