Lollipopping before flowering?

I’m planning to only remove the side shoots, but not the fan leaves..
I wouldn't remove too many. I schwazzed this time. While the colas all look nice, there isn't a whole lot of them. I noticed that the side branches which were left on look as nice as the colas. So I think there's a balance.

Did it/fuck it/RDWC for me.
Easy as shit & good enough for me
:)
Seriously? Lollipopping plants that are 3 inches high? And you say you are going to put these in flower now? Come on man, you cant be serious? I would not put any plant into flower unless they are at least 16 to 24 inches tall. Why even bother with such tiny plants putting in flower this early.
He has no choice plus ever heard of schwazzing? Just because you don't it doesn't make him wrong.

I'm positive he's Not going to get 16 big fat colas. Lol
Well, who can’t get excited for folks to experience what we all did our first time around? When I got a few larfy handfuls off of my first grow, I was stoked. It took time to learn from my mistakes. He’s arrogant, but he’ll learn one way or the other. Ha! Humility seems to be a rare bird nowadays.

If you not have anything constructive to add, shut the fuck up! Actually I’m not interested in anything you could tell me.. So let this be a message for you to not comment anymore in my threads .
Hey now, not cool dude.

Here’s the deal. There’s a lot of experienced growers on here trying to tell you things to help. I know you want to will your colas into existence, but I think the consensus is that you are truthfully really tight on time. No amount of adjusting lights, trimming, and adjusting nutrients is going to force your plants to be ready on your schedule. I’ve had eight week plants to take 10-11 weeks for the trichomes to be ready. It’s just nature and she can’t be rushed.

I think a lot of these guys are trying to tell you to set realistic expectations. Not because they’re trying to downplay your ability to grow (your plants look alright, could use some more N), but they have a lot of wisdom. Be thankful that they’re here as a resource and don’t bite the hand that feeds you.

I’m rooting for you and I hope you get something good from your grow. Sounds like we share the philosophy of leaving it all on the field when playing the game, but don’t forget a little humility goes a long way.

I think the problem is that you’ve kind of insulted some of these guys who took the time to try and help. Maybe dial the snark back a bit. We were all in your shoes once and want to help you troubleshoot.

Your plants don’t look terrible at all, but if you start hacking a bunch of leaves off now, and trying to do some of these advanced methods of growing your first time out under a time constraint, you have a higher likelihood of running into problems.

You’ll get there my friend, just try to dial it back a bit when someone gives you their advice, even if you don’t intend to take it. :)

Neoliet is getting constant comments like this, how would you expect him to react?
Have you seen all the comments thrown at him?
It's not cool the way he has been treated.

I thought you knew everything genius.

Normally day 7-21 after the flip, but look how much your plants have stretched over the last 5 days, look at the first picture you put up(first page), very impressive.

Thanks Markshomegrown! I did some LTS, I have all mains now on the right place. The autopots are working really great! No watering, only 1 time a week I hand water them. Making some SST for next hand watering (Saturday night). They will be in week 2 of flower than. That means they will get erected bananas for the first time. :)image.jpg

Sounds good, your VPD is 1.45, the humidity and temp is perfect, so you are off to a great start,

Trying to save him the trouble of learning the hard way, but I guess some people have to skate uphill. Humility is a rare bird, but it's helpful.
