    Defo needs lolly popping in my opinion. When the flowers start growing, the good ones will grow at the top, and those bottom stems will just have popcorn buds. Wasted energy.

    Remove all of the lower growth, your plant will use that energy to make the big buds bigger. And does not have to struggle to keep the lower growth alive when it can't get much light.

    I agree. I was not looking at the photographs. Your spacing is perfect. Defoliation is unnecessary. Lollypoping will help loads with top cola formation.

    Would you do lollypopping on 1/3 or 1/4 of the plant? There are some stems that won?t make it the top but are not quite at the bottom either...
