Hey guys, I didn’t defoliate and lollipop in my last growth and I realized after harvest that it was a huge mistake. I want to do it with this new crop and just wanna be sure I do it correctly at the right time. Would you top these babies now? What about lollipoping and defoliating now too?

I wouldn't do either until after stretch has occurred in flower.

Some don't do either , ever!
Depends on plant count, grow style ect..

I'm constantly removing the bigger fan leaves. Only a few early on but towards the end of veg, I get aggressive. I also defoliate heavily about week 2 or 3 of flower.

I would top, it’s the perfect time but don’t remove anything else unless they’re dead. Once you get 2 tops growing then I would remove some lower but at this point those lowers could become tops.
