I wouldn’t lollipop.. however in week 5 I like to hit my undercarriage & see what’s down there. If I have nugs that look like they are in week 2.. knowing I’m in week 5.. I’ll snip them. Here’s an example:
At this rate, I will be waiting on the lowers to finish. I’d rather that energy went to the density & quality of the upper part of the plant.
