lollipopping question

[kronicking]

Hi, I am growing some autoflowers and I am trying to lollipop them but I don't know if I am doing it correctly. I cut all the lower growth and growth branches and stubs and strip it clean down lower but it keeps producing more small bud sites lower down. It is starting to get closer to finishing I believe and no matter what if I keep cutting off the stubs at the bottom I seem to get new ones in a couple days. I was wondering is that normal and you should leave them alone or should you keep cutting them off when they appear so it isn't wasting energy on new tiny bud sites lower down? Also is there a way to make it so they won't grow back and just stay stripped?

If you rub the stems smooth with your fingers it should stop the new growth.

thanks for the suggestion. I will have to try that. I will upload photos when I get a chance.

Doesn't sound like you are cutting them in the right place. Once a branch is chopped it should not come back, but if you are going after little starts and accidentally FIM it instead of top it (to use common words usually associated with the main meristem) then you will get new growth from that area.

Let them grow a bit of stem then rub them smooth. The stem should snap and heal over preventing growth in that area

When I lollipop, my goal is to open up the bottom of the canopy.
I remove tertiary 'sucker' branches and excess foliage to allow better airflow.
Pics will help with suggestions on training.

Is he talking super cropping or lollipoping ?
