Thanks for your responses, 420hypnotiq is right, but it's also strain dependent. I have always lollipopped my girls mainly because i'm too lazy to trim popcorn and i prefer dense nugs to airy ones!Mc purple is also right but again its strain dependent, i find lst'ng in veg always strengthens the girls whether lollipopped or not.
Once again thanks for responding to my question, keep growing and keep sharing the knowledge!

Holes, tape, strings, weights, wire whatever it takes.
Drill holes in your plastic pots then use string to tie your branches down.

Yeah I used to have this problem but as longas you leave enough roomfor your hanger to be pushed kind of deep into the soil, it shouldn't be a problem

u know, i find that the hangers just make trouble. even being long enough, if i have to move them or replace them, im always scared im hurting the roots with all that prodding.
drilling holes in the sides of the pots and tying with string (hemp string!) is a good alternative
something interesting: i have one plant i LSTd with hangers, veged for 5 wks and now the mofo is in wk 3 of 12/12 and already 42 cm tall... with like a least 6 heads ALL that height or close to it
this plant was held down with only 3 hanger hooks and the last time i even attempted to tie anything down was still during veg... i havent done anything to it since. and its booming fast...and smelling realll pretty...
its a OG Kush X Bubba Kush

I usually start topping as soon as possible, The earlier I start, the more tops I get without having to veg for a long time. It's always worked out awesome for me.

hey letitgrow,
what do you consider "a long time"?
and how does it work out better for you, in what respect

I usually only veg for a month, I try to get as many tops as possible during that time. Usually end up with around 20 tops per plant

Oh that's great. I vegged five weeks and got abt 7 tops with like barely lst-ing.. I can imagine with a few more ties I'll prob get closer to numbers like twenty

I start LST from transplant. yes, I simply PLANT the SoilCube near the EDGE of the POT at an ANGLE. so its already at an angle. I dont do it with all my plants but it works well. Normally start bending around 4th-5th Node. Remember to watch your plants daily for the 1st two weeks cause the STEM will Thicken and be Very hard to position. Dont worry about side branching until around week 3-4 they will be Easy to move...
