It appears to me that defoliate and lollipop are running neck to neck, er, so to speak.

Very nice! My last grow of 4 was a varietè like this, the lollipopped was the biggest yielder even though it was the smallest plant! Looking forward to the results

Same here, my smallest plant is going to be my biggest producer (inch for inch) but she's got some lower branches that aren't at least 50% of the canopy. That settles it then, imma lollipop!

Some interesting results going on tbh. Depending what you are looking for im finding each is having they're own benefits.

For example didnt do shit is far closer to being ready to chop than the other 2. Nothing stalling the plant causing the need to heal like lollipoping or defoliating. Weeks closer. Some people want speed, some want max yield with no care for speed, and some want an easier time of dealing with pests which defoliated has made very easy.

Depending on what you are personally looking for, each type of grow seems to have they're own benefits.

The proof is in the pudding.

Has the winning criteria been established yet?

Yield, time taken, growth, taste, etc.?

That becomes a personal decision I believe.

I decided that frostiness and THC contect is what my guage is because I'm getting all the weight anyway lol.

But I think each individual person should create a criteria that fits what they personally want or need. Considering there are so many different wants and needs from folks for what they want out of they're grow it only makes sense to me for them to choose what matters to them.

Great side-by-sides might be that defoliation is the winner ? believe that defoliation is needed for indoor growing and that when grows outside defoliation of plants is a bit different but help/is needed Have you ever heard of "Schwazzing" here we are talking about heavy, heavy defoliation there is a good time lapse video (it worth a look) ( they bdo a heavy defoliation in week 4 of veg and a heavy defoliation in week 4 of flower- some plants really respond to it -- but schwazzing is a bit to much for me - they remove everything but you should see the results !!! very impressive

This is an awesome experiment! That’s literally the only way to learn is to do it and see it yourself. Could read a million books and still not know how to apply it until you do it. By not only doing it, but documenting it and sharing it with the community in this way gives us a chance to see it and learn it too. I like that shit. Big props.
