I think fdds experience if u actually have went through this entire site speaks for itself. If u think flower from 12/12 is best then do it & show pics if it works. Walk the Walk.:peace:

ive seen the pics and read the info.Your plants doNOT need to be mashed together to achieve a single cola plant.just flower when your plant is about 6-8 inches tall.I dont have scientific evidence.I only know it works every time for me.

this works best because the plant does not have enough time in veg to start really branching out so the growth and flowering is concentrated on the main stalk and cola. the side branching will only produce small buds. i have been doing this for a while and it generally works well. the only exception is when genetics take over and if it is a strain or pheno that is naturally bushy its still going to bush out

im talking about growing from seed by the way, not cloning

Here's a link to my current thread all! It should answer everyones questions about single cola growth. I'm doing 25 female single cola plants. You can accomplish this several ways. Trimming, 12/12 from seed, or inducing flowering before it reaches 7-8 inches. For a lollipop effect trim lower tranches and leave her legs naked at 0ne week and 3rd week or flowering as nes. I am attempting different trimming techniques as well for the lollipopp and spear looks. Feel free to contribute to the thread or share my pics. Enjoy all, Don't argue, HELP, and SHARE.

I have plants now that were forced with under 8 inches, and some of them grew side branches. It cant be the light stretch because i grow under a 1000w mh, and it is less than 24 inches from the tops. They also have more than 5 nodes. I have cut the branching from the bottom 1/3, of the plants. Can you tell me why inducing flowering in a plant eight inches or under would cause it to only grow one cola?

Hmmm, ok, when you veg, the side branches hardly grow. A couple of days after 12/12 the side branches start taking off. So at 12/12 you gain height and width, for the first two weeks of flower. When this 2 weeks period is over, you should be done trimming the way you want it to grow. If you cut the lower branches right at the main stem, only the top will form cola. BUUUT, if you cut the side branches in that 2 week period of 12/12 just above where the preflowers show up, it will form a bud at the main stem intersection as well as a top cola. But this style Would need light all the way down the stem so they become nice nugs. But you don't need that extra space if you shear off right at the main stem. Which way is better? It may depend on your internode spacing to determine which way to go. If the internodes are real close, you could propably make the whole main stalk a cola! I don't know yet, but imma find out. :)

actually m8 sorry to interupt but sodium is the best for flowering for a very good scientific reason. in the summer going into autumn the suns natural spectrum is more to the red side and cannabis plants are from outdoors so the sun knows best but i will say.... ur are also not wrong it has been well experimented that adding mh lights (blue spectrum) will increase thc production just beacause like i said the sun knows best and has a very wide colour spectrum DUAL spectrum bulbs seems to me the best compromise look on wikipedia cannabis cultivation there is a reference.

1st post on rollitup, im in to growing purely for the money although i did smoke weed for about 6 years or so and find growing bud exciting and interesting[.zZ] but nvm that, got a little grow on at my bros atm in a shitty little tent 1.2 by 1.2 my bro sed he knos some one with the same size tent gettin 16 grand out of it [[80+OZ][fuking liers]] using this "lollipop" method, apparently he uses rly thin deep pots, where the fuk u source these pots from [in england] i dont know and not thru lack of looking either, im thinking of putting 16 eleven litre pots in this tent so each plant will have roughly 6 or 7 inches of seperation, a 600 watt hps multispectrum bulb, 2 carbon cans with 2 in line duct fans [125mm], good soil + good nutrients, Co2 enrichment thru bottled gas,a small fan and a small dehumidifier. this is a mammoth task for my limited practical experience [2 grows]
I'm going to vedge these badass mofo's [clones] till there 18 inches taking away side branches as they appear but making sure i leave enough leaf for photosynthesis, which is dangerous as i dont have reference to how much leaf i need, but i have good instincts
