this is my first grow, I am growing indoors with a 1000w HPS I have a total of 6 plants all bag seed 3 are 2months into veg, 1 is about 1month into veg, and 2 are about 3 weeks into veg. They are all looking very healthy. I have no space restrictions and I want them to get BIG, I heard that lollipopping gives the biggest yield is this true??? should I do it and, if so to which plants???? How is lollipopping done?? thanks for all the help

Pretty much what hugo said. Lolipopping is taking off all the lower bud sites on each branch so that the remaining buds get bigger. I believe a 1000w penetrates 18inches into the canopy so anything lower than 18 inches from the top of the branches should get pruned. I'd double check that though as I haven't grown with 1k.

heres a chart to use as reference. it doesnt take into account the heat so the distance will vary. for example an air cooled hood, or not cooled hood or open bulb etc
