Its still raging on. One member is going to do a side by side test starting a week into February. Im hoping someone else will do it as well and provide us more data.

something just doesnt seem right about lollipoping, wouldnt you yield more if you topped and trimmed the other lower growth? 4 colas instead of 1?

thats kinda what i figured, would be a great technique if you have like 4ft to work with and still trying to run a hood giving you a bit over 3ft of height. I guess if you run say 36 lollipop's all 36 will get sufficient light to its main cola *the only cola*. in theory it sounds like you would yield more if per say they arent 36 low riders
prove to me it works, side by side and i will change. until then im gunna stick with topping and fimming

Its a sad read. Lots of bitching and what not, and even when a member offers to do a side by side comparison UB still dismisses him. I like UB, and he's contributed alot here, but he's very set in his own ways and stubborn as a mule.

it seems to me that the biggest advantage of lollipopping is you can cut the veg time down to probably 2 weeks.. as for the final weight, both sides seem to have an identical argument... will more plants with less quantity each give u more total? or will less plants with more bud on each give you more total weight? hmm... dill i think i'll just wait for YOUR results lol

about how much do they yield each i could see growing maybe 1000 like that but y less seems like a waste of time

I would think that 4 lollipops vs. one bush in a 2'X2' area would yield a little more due to apical dominance, unless the bush was scrogged properly. Then you would have similar yields, but a much longer veg time on the bush, giving the advantage to the lollipop in the grams/watt/time category.
I dont have any say in the argument. Im not trying to prove one or the other. Honestly bro, Im a rookie, and i let my plants do what they want, and its worked extreme wonders for me so far! I do have height restraints in my op atm however,so I do control height by switching to flower at a certain height during veg. I just posted the pics just to show a lollipop, bc me and ole girl thought it was cool it grew like that as well, but could careless what it grows into, as long as it produces some dank ass buds, then Ill take proper care of her. Im not even gonna waste my time hitting that debate thread up bc I dont have an opinion for one on the subject, and most importantly, I didnt come here to debate, I came here to talk to fellow MJ supporters to share my love, and to learn and gain some love as well. Happy Growing All!
Thats 26g, so roughly a zip, you are looking at right there for the one, and 43g, or zip and a half on the other.
And my self disclaimer I will state again, I DO NOT SUPPORT LOLLIPOPPING OR ANY GROW METHOD FOR THAT MATTER! Whatever my plants do on natural occurence is what they do. I just take proper care of them. I DO NOT have a debate in this matter. I just posted pics bc I thought they were pretty plants, and now I realize I shouldnt have posted them in dill's journal to begin with.(sorry dill) I could post pics of others that arent Lolli's, but its his grow journal, and that would be rude. Everyone, just blaze some nice buds from whatever grow method it came from and lets chill and learn and burn together.
