lollipopping is simple u know the growth on the bottom that ends up being small buds well just cut off all the growth on the bottom that dont get light instead if the plant using that energy on small nugs on the bottom or were light doesnt penetrate instead the plant will focus its growth into the bigger colas it helps alot. FIMing is the same as topping i think no difference really. Here's a few youtube videos that should help u guys alot got some useful information.

also i was wondering i have a plant thats in her 5th week of flowering i have some branches that have some smaller buds on the bottom now if i were to lollipop her would it be okay or wise to do that in the 5th week of flowering....like if i do it would it have enough time to channel the energy to the bigger buds??

i find topping mother plants help produce more available clones so if your topping just to take clones if you keep topping your plants it will have more clones to take off of it

here is my g-13 haze 66 days 12/12 after 6 weeks 18/6 from seed, i hadnt cut off any tops or nothing i had only been tieing down and cutting off shit little growth could i acheived more by toppin , fim. i read u dont need to cut off a plant to make it grow more just bend it to such a degree it tricks it this what i done with this just kept tieing top down then so on with all branches. so as i tie top down to such degree another branch tries to be the top then so on as i tie that down
