usually chop off 1/3rd of the bottom of the plants. It just causes the energy of the plant to focus its growth to the main cola. Yield depends on a number of variables.

I am also curious about lollipoping. What size pots are best? When cloning how long do you let veg over the 2 week cloning time? Any other information would be great!!!

use as big post as u can get .3 gallon is great:) lollipoping-cut all the branches down 4 the below, so that the upper cola can get the main attention and that you have only one main cola and some 3-4 other smaller ones.lollipopping puts the energy what was in lower branches to the top so great one big colas can form.

I use 5.5" x 5.5" square pots that are about 6" deep with coco and it works great. I have seen some nice plants in 16oz Dixie cups.

it doesnt increase ur yeiled, it increases the overall look and potency of ur nugs... its quality over quanity this way... instead of ur plant wasting its time and energy tring to develope lil buds at the bottom, all its energy willl go to the cola which is what u want anyways... it will also alow more air flow under the plant which reduces the chance of mold and other benifits im sure i dont need to explain... plus it saves u time of triming the "bum fluf" buds at the bottom that arnt much but joint filler or a "quit smoking" cigerette aid

If I had a 4X5 room, how many potential lollipops could I have in that area? And say I had I clone that had been rotting for two weeks, could I take that clone and put it right under 12/12 and it would produce a nice lollipop, or would I have to veg a week???

u can lollipop any size really... all it is, is takein the crap off the bottom of ur braches so the tops get all the goods... ive seen plants with 8-10 colas lollipopped so there jus the tops... u could veg a week or 12/12 as soon as it develops roots... if u do a low veg/single cola lollipop in a 4X5 area u could use 2lt botles and fit probly like 70-80.. rule of thumb is 4 per square foot in a low veg lollipop... do it so u put in 20 every 2 weeks so u constanty harvest... its alota work tho... to clone, transplant, water, ect all them guys tho... check out "supper cropping"... its stretchin ur plants sidesways so u cover ur whole area vertical tops jus like a sea of green... less plants same weight... a guy named genfrasco has a great thread on it... it is much less work... what medium u gonna use??? mite i suggest "hempy".... its much ezer to water espacily if u have 80 of them to deal with... look for the "hempy collective" thread and it explains it all there.... it really all depends on how much work u wanna do!!!

Maybe I will veg for a week then. I was planning on doing 16 plants in my 4x5 area and harvest 4 of them every 2 weeks. I just dont want them to get too big and shade each other.

if ur gonna do 16 in there i highly suggest doin it in 3 weeks intervals... clone 3 weeks, then to the veg for 3 weeks, hopefully ur strain is a 8-9ish weeks flowering time.... while u veg, super crop... check this link... if u do it right u will get a canopy effecf that will cover ur area with colas and then strip every thing that under neath the canopy so u have lotsa tops that r qualltized and no "bum fluf" buds... its like scrog with out the net... way more profitable if ur only gonna do a few plants... y bud 16 plants with lil veg when u could in reality fit 60 min like that... its jus a waste of space really... i have bout 100 tops with my 7 plants at about 5 weeks veg in a 4x4 all recieving good light.... ya sum rnt the strongest tops but they will become much larger then if i woulda jus let them grow straight up the stalk... hell 5-7gms per top (and thats at minimum.. im sure there will be many over 10grms) at 100 tops, is 1lb min.. im cool with that.. but thats jus my opinion... klik the link and see...

no lollipoping is where u cut off all of the sucker branches ones that dont get light and make popcorn buds, this directs hormons to the top of the plants to make biger colas. instead of puting engry into the bull shit brances it just put it into you biger branches to make biger bud. people that do sog usauly lollipop but they not the same.
