Hey there! This is the first grow I've done where I have completely left my plant alone and didn't defoliate at all, and it actually looks like I am going to get a MUCH larger yield! This grow has completely changed my mind about lolipopping, I don't think I will be doing it any longer. And just for the record, this is probably my 12th grow, give or take.

Depends on your set-up. Are you doing a scrog? Growing trees? Indoor/outdoor grow? How big are the plants?
I think you just answered your own question: "mixed reviews".

I do some trimming of lower branches but I never remove Fan Leaves in my canopy.
I don't get great depth with my 400 HPS.
But I do OK

Lollipopping won't increase the yield per plant. What it allows you to do is pack more plants into the area.
But if you have 1 plant, it will lose yield if you lollipop it.
Canopy control in general is the key to high yields in doors whether it be topping, mainlinging, lollipopping, or some combination that allows to get an even canopy.

Also is it untrue that if you trim the lower it will focus more energy on the main buds, or is that like balancing out the popcorn nugs you would get and just adding that weight to the colas?
