taking cuttings

[growell]

took my clone cuttings today hope they come through knowing my luck though so going to into flower next couple of days did some defolation and some lollypoping probably should have took more off but was shitting myself quick question in 3 weeks when i do defoiliation again were i see the buds starting to form can i do a lot more lollipoping and getting rid of bud sites for bigger bud growth or will it make things worse cheers guys

That's what I plan on doing with my autos. I use LST then lollipop them. I dont want no light airy underbuds.
I'm afraid it will stall my autos when I do it tho. Slow and steady trimming here.
Good luck, i want to hear older growers advise even though i think i know

why dont u top them then lst dont think u would need to do much lollipoping mate

I've tried topping my first autos with bad results, not trying to stunt them any. I've had really good results with LST only but I had a lot of under buds that I should of removed.

I always try and take all of the branches off (that need to be, low ones) before I flip, I'll also defoliate. About two weeks later, after I flipped them, I'll do another light round of defoliation. But I always try and have branches off before flipping.

Get her cleaned up before flipping if possible. They'll bush out pretty good after about week 3 so you'll need to do some cleanup but the big training and cleanup should be done by the time you flip or 1st week in.
