RE: Grow Diaries 2024 #20: Lollipopping

in Canna-Curate3 months ago

I forgot what Lollipopping was until you explained it to me again. I always try to trim off the bottom leaves usually during flowering. As they no longer get light and start yellowing anyways. I Lollipopped my outdoor cannabis plants too, but more to help with air flow and to decrease the chance of fungus.

Sort:  

The leaves (and branches) I took off were perfectly healthy and fine and green.
The way I lollipopped this plant was much more radical than regular defoliation.
But with these terms... it all depends on who you ask, I gues...

It wasn't for airflow or to remove potential risks, but really to boost the flowers.
I am a bit frustrated that the pictures I shot to document the process came out so bad.

I am still shocked that it had such a positive impact - I would have never tried that, if it wasn't for Bugbee. It felt so wrong. I even took off some healthy large fan leaves. Against all my intuition.
