Lollipopping involves removing all fan leaves and buds below a certain point that you decide is right. This is generally somewhere like 1/3 to 1/2 if the lower canopy. The low buds won’t ever become beautiful hard buds but will stay loose and airy. Removing this unproductive area with little light allows the plant to focus more energy on the higher quality top buds. Some growers like to remove all the fan leaves but I believe it will lower the yield significantly so keep as much of the upper canopy as you can so the plant has the resources to create big beautiful buds.

As long as the air is flowing and the plants dont get yellow leafs cause of missing air or light you are good.

Thanks I am glad i found this site I am making mistakes at every stage, I now understand just how much I don't know. But I am enjoying learning, I do struggle navigating and using things like social media and this site but slowly picking it up thanks again
Not ideal but nothing dangerous I’d say. I can’t tell from the photo but I’d you haven’t lollipopped the bottoms yet, doing that will help air flow.

Is the mission statement for Percysgrowroom...to help people to achieve their own grows successfully
you should take all minor buds that dont have 5mm those are just taking energy cause they dont have own light
you can say 1/3-2/3 is to take away thats why its called lollypopping you just leave the lolly
You can do it one go but I prefer to do it some here some there - I believe its less stress that way
