hey blonddie! your plants look great! just trim any lower growth that isn't getting enough light, that in turn will provide better lower air circulation. from the pic it already looks like you did some lower trimming. i would also trim any lower shoots that arent forming buds like the top/middle. this will concentrate more energy to your cola and higher shoots. the lower popcorn buds are a pain in the ass to trim and are sometimes not worth it.... thats why pply lollypop their plants. looks really good though, keep up the good work.

naw, you didnt mess up. the biggest mistake people make is that they trim perfectly healthy leaves on the top half. people do this so light can get through to lower bud sites. what people dont understand is that leaf is absorbing energy to plump its bud site. id rather have the top big healthy buds keep thier leaves than the lower popcorn buds.

lollypopping is simply trimming the lower third of the plant compleatly as well as growth that stretches far from the main stem. the end result will make your plant resemble a lollypop... stem representing the stick and the top heavy bud on the main shoot representing the candy part of the lollypop. typically, when lollypoping, the plant will only produce 1-4 big, dence nuggs. from what i know,it does not create more or less yeild, just takes less time on mannicuring an trimming end reults

i trim the bottom branches since, they probably wont produce much. lollypopping is a scarry thing to try.... i havent mustered up the balls to try it yet!!!

 

[blonddie07]

Welll.. made brownies with the trimmings .. lollypop

 

[jay cas]

they look gorgeous!! putting chopped fan leaves and pre mature buds in your brownies wont do anything, you know that right?!?

if you made butter then brownies, a bit of thc but not much.

I save up for a long time and make a few lbs of butter witha shit load of trim it works!!!!

but i cook butter for three or four hours

 

[blonddie07]

holy shit guys... those fucking trimmings + butter + brownies fucked me UP!....THese are insane....

yeep i cooked for 2-3 hours and use cheese cloth to strain...
