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

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

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

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

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?

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...
