Uh. I'm confused...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.
So Al's "trim the lower third and anything that grows more than one inch..." isn't a SOG lollipopping technique...???
And this here is not a lollipop???
I am confused...
Can you enlighten me...?
I have believed I was growing lollipops from day one...lol...
Thanks FDD!

Thank You! for acknowledging my newb efforts!lol...
your plants look great. your buds are fat and sparkly. i'd give it an A+. i just don't consider it lollipopped.

I wasn't aware that there was a size restriction...looks like a runt if anything. i guess that's a lollipop.
looks to me like you're just trying to show off your nuggies.
I actually thought that lollipopping referred to the style of pruning, not the size of the plant...
Learn something new everyday...
Thanks!your plants look great. your buds are fat and sparkly. i'd give it an A+. i just don't consider it lollipopped.
So, what is the minimum size that would be considered a lollipop?
Cause it sounds like we are doing the same type of pruning at the same time...lol...
Thanks!
I'm learning..lol.. I'm new at all this.. but they are getting bigger and better with every harvest...
I run a perpetual, harvest every 2 weeks...
My personal worst is 3.5g...
My personal best is 40g...
I run 48 plants (I used to call them lollipops...lol..) under each 600w...
My best average so far is 20g each on a batch...
Is that bad for a newb?
Oh.. and zero veg, flowered as soon as there were roots...
And I flower Indicas for 8 weeks, Sativas for 10...
And FDD, for a guy that started 6 months ago with an AEROGARDEN, I think I am not doing too bad... and yeah.. I am kinda proud of my nuggies...lol... fucking newbs...lol....
Cheers guys.. and thanks for the lesson!!!

No offense at all FDD...sorry if i offended anyone.
Whether my plants qualify as lollipops or not, they get me really STONED ...lol..
so I am not too worried about what anyone calls them...lol...But the reason I posted here, was that I really really believed in my heart that I was growing lollipops...
If I had known that they were not, I would not have posted on the LOLLIOPOP thread...lol...
My bad...
Cheers everyone...

Your plants are very thin. Leaves feed buds. Anything you remove will lower your yield.this is a subject I have interest in. my last grow the plants were very branchy and I had plenty of little popcorn nugs that werent worth their weight. here are 2 pics of my largest girl (bubblegum from serious seeds) and as you can see she is quite brachy as well. I grow with a 250w HID and a few CFL's for supplemental light. I always trim the bottom quarter when they are still in veg to promote upper growth and good airflow but as they get taller that bottom quater turns up looking like a tenth instead. I am 2 weeks into flower now and wondering when is the deadline so to speak if I am considering removing more lower growth. without messing with the 8-9 week flower time that is. also I heard that leaving fan leaves on nodes were growth braches were cut wont do anything negative. just let them fall off if they stop doing their job I guess. what do you guys think?

Looks to me like it's starved for light !
If it's still vegging .. check Uncle Ben's thread on topping and try to get better light ... (just an opinion )
I topped this one 13 days into flowering as of this pic .. it is day 16 (flowering) after 4 1/2 weeks veg -----

Thanks!
I thought I was doing ok for a new guy...
Yeah, mine are much smaller, but I pack them in at 4 plants per sqft...
Much bigger and they would be crowded...
I also like Fuct's point that SHORT plants will have "more plant under the more intense light".. we all know that light looses intensity as we move away from the source.. right?!!?!?
Taller plants may leave the bottoms in less than ideal lighting...
But I am just learning... and maybe a few years down the road I will know some of what you guys know...
Cheers!
