Nope, bronze smelting and recycling. Some forging too.

I have been slow to ask. What is that "lollipopping" you did to your plants? I can see the obvious effect in the pictures but im curious.

Interesting.
When I was a kid I used to like stuff like that, in fact, my dad and I used to melt lead for our salmon sinkers, and dip them in wax when they were done.(Smooth coating of the wax minimalized bubbles in the water as the sinkers were trolled.)
I didn't do any lollipopping on these plants, just a little on my last one.
Notice how all the branches, low down close to the main stalk, and even the main stalk has no foliage down low.
It (lollipopping) is another of those 'can of worm' discussions, though not as bad as 'to flush or not to flush', but some guys like to do it, and some don't bother.
I tried it, but didn't have an identical plant side by side to compare the results to, so I can't say if it really does help make bigger colas or not.feb26pic10_zps75b75d74.jpg

So I guess you stripped the plant all out of foliage at some point of flowering. At what point?

Basically just the spindly lower stuff, and I didn't do it all at once.
It was over a month's time (maybe longer) or so, starting a couple weeks after the stretch quit.
This was Sativa dom. though, so it was a long flower, I think around 87 days or something.

Hi
Extend the growing season outside with coldframes and rowcovers. Start .... Do this 2-3 weeks before you want to actually start yourseeds. ... I love trying new things each spring and learning from my successes and failures.

I am a fan of lollipoping.. and will try darn near anything that improves yield but does not cost.. yeah I am a cheap mofo but I am ok with it..
I am doing LST-Supercrop and Scrog and a potsy turvey to check yield
1 grapefruit lst
1 Grapefruit supercrop
1 bubba LST
1 Bubba Scrog


I am loving the scrog so far it's nice to be able to have to push down new growth every day.. the LST is making some interesting stem contortions too.
