Thank you, and thank rollitup.org.
Nope. Generally I remove what I don't think I'll need (what I know will be whispy buds or shoots) before I begin flowering.
When the plant has that first bud, you will notice that there are lower buds that already seem behind, so I pull those too.
At about 4 weeks I do my last bit of pruning and pull the buds that are now very visibly behind.

Its great to have all of these people who have tried and successfully lollipopped. RAD! 
So what would be the ideal method for lollipopping the plants? Is it as basic as removing the bottom 1/3 of growth and trimming that thing up?
Are there any dangers that people might run into? For example, I have heard that trimming more than 1/3 of the foliage could cause some serious shock. I have never trimmed, so my plants have always looked like crotch from a 70's porn. I just don't want to kill the little guys. BONG!

yes, foliage, meaning if you prune a little at the top some at the middle, but clean the bottom 3rd, till you see stick , any small shoots or fan leaves, down there the fan leaves are the first to fall off anyway

What are those plants in? Is that a hydro set up? Well done!

how much are these lollipops yielding though? They don't look to be 1oz plants when harvested... I thought the average rule for an sog setup was to get 1oz per plant.

I am about to start my first SOG GROW. I have 2000 watts and a 4x6 tabble I have a dutch BB mother that I am growing out to take 70 clones. I am then going to flower 70 in a 4x6 using the lollipop method. I am also going to add co2 to see if this helps growth rates and yield. Does 70 sound that a crazy number? I have almost 85 watts per SF I think there will be plenty of light to grow 70 1OZ plants

Thanks!
I have gotten as low as 3g per lollipop and as high as 40g per lollipop...
But I am a newb, I am still trying to get everything consistent...
I am shooting for 20g per lolly... for now...
Also, I run a perpetual, with a harvest every week(or 2), and I am a lazy stoner, and I have had cloning issues... so I am not on an EXACT schedule yet...
Again, consistency needs improving...

yes, yours.
lollipopping is to remove the lower third or so of growth after 3 weeks of flowering. i usually wait until week 3 then remove any lower branches that have not formed thumb sized buds. this leaves 12 inches or more of bare stalk at the lower portion of the plant.
