lollipopping and stress?

[Nike617]

hey everyone im going to topp my girls and suppercrop them I have femm girls. my question is I want to loliipop cause it redirects the engergy to the top of the plants which ill have 6 colas at the top of the plant so it would make sence to do this. But I don't want to stress my girls and get hermies what do you think? Thanks in advance

 

[Nike617]

anything anyone?

 

[Nike617]

guess not? lol

 

[scwascwa]

dude lollipop means just leaving the plant alone if u lst thats not gonna take away from ur buds so i'd suggest LST

 

[Nike617]

isn't lollipoping a plant when you take all the crap at the bottom of the plant away so you can redirect the energy of the plant to the top. btw what does lst stand for?

don't worry ... topping works great !

L S T = L ow S tress T raining bending stems/stalks

if you want six MAIN Cola;s .. Id top for eight ... then remove the bottom two leaving 6




Marijuana Growing > The Grow Room > Advanced Marijuana Cultivation Uncle Ben's Topping Technique to get 2 or 4 MAIN colas


below 8 plants ... topped for four or 6 Cola's and 9 weeks later

LST stands for LOW STRESS TRAININ... meaning u tie the plant down to keep it short but bushy get more tops with it and u really dont want to cut the leavs off all fan leaves help ur plant by u taking them off u will actually be hurting it .

think of it this way with no fan leaves the plant will have no way to obsorb energy from the lights to give to ur buds

taking everything from the bottom would redirect energy to the bottom to regrow the shit you took off. LST stand for Low stress Training you basically tie the plant down so that more leaves get more light i topp for 4 colas an lst them apart

yeah well im going to be topping my girls. Also im going to be suppercropping them.

 

[svchop889]

hey Give LST a try its very beneficial especially if you have space i've seen 3' tall bushes with 10 or more colas because of lst and topping combined

 

[Nike617]

hmm soounds good. I only have about 10 sq feet and im doing 4 plants. how do you do it again?

 

[Nike617]

well whats the point of suppercropping?

 

[Heterotextual]

If u top u don't need to supercrop, I top mine to get 4 colas, then I lollipop each of the colas by cutting all the useless bottom stems, and I end up getting nice fat colas, 4 fat ones on 1 plant they're all around 8" long and fat like a kobasa sausage

 

[Nike617]

oh really well when you top once don't you just get 2 colas. then I would supercropp?

 

[Nike617]

what size light do you use im using a 600 watt mh/hps

 

[Heterotextual]

It depends on how tall the plant is when u top, uncle ben has a great article on topping in the advanced techniques section, check it out

 

[Nike617]

yeah I will thanks

So are you stuck to choosing between topping, fimming or supercropping? or could i begin fimming around 6-8 inches and start supercropping around 1' 3-4" or would that be a stress overload on my babies?

 

[sogbunn]

suppercropping is better then lsting for it will create stregth in ur stems for more support, plus it will damage ur plant which makes it stronger... u know the saying "what ever doesnt kill u makes u stronger"? and u can lolipop the bottoms after when ur ready to bud, i do...
