28 thoughts on “Plant Pruning: Lollipopping & Defoliation! – From The Stash Podcast Ep.178

  1. Ok from my experience from lollipoping and this is just my experience over the last decade of growing as a farmer.. when we use to trim and prune our peach and plum trees just to redirect the energy to the fruits sites…now the difference here is i don’t notice a stress increase difference on the fruits compared to the buds and vegging on the cannabis plants…so when I do this I just be extra careful to not cause too much stress to the plant but it does redirect that energy the same way it did on the peach and plum trees including producing the sap to help heal that wound..some plants won’t produce as much others will just depending on the strain is Also what I noticed…but to help aid them wounds I use honey because it’s sticks and it has all of the plants benefits-properties bees don’t just collect from one plant they literally collect from over hundreds of thousand of plants and they combine it all together and do what they need to do and now u got that honey

  2. I take fan leaves off below the top set just to get the light all of them. Otherwise they just block each other out. Depends on the plant too. If it's bushy and short, I strip more to focus on the tops. Otherwise it is wasting energy keeping that foilage imho. If it's more slim and tall it's easier to lst and get more light/airflow. I prefer them slim and tall personally. If I notice growth that is weak/flimsy/yellowing due to lack of light from canopy coverage, I take it off.

  3. I’m all about Defoliation and pruning right before flipping to flower and then I do a final Lollipop between the 3rd and 4th week of Flower after the Stretch.
    Works great every time! 🎉

  4. 17:08 the patrick swazy technique does not produce huge nugs, commercial growers use this technique to grow one thick nug and minimize the amount of leaf per square foot maxing out the amount of bud per square foot. yield per plant is less but per square foot the yield is maxed out do to higher plant count. If your scrogging their is no way to justify a high stress defoliation technique.

  5. The original fan leaves that grow before the bud sight starts are the ones you can completely remove. It’s a single fan leave and after the bud sights start to appear you will see two more fan leaves and you can remove 1 of those depending on which one is blocking the most light. Always leave one secondary fan leave. My opinion

  6. Personally I defo & lollipop before switch, then again around 3 weeks ..but after that I bend mostly and let the plant cannabilize its leaves , sometimes I move certain leaves blocking budspots but it's not like I ever strip her completely until ripening phase- then all fans are pulled if she hasn't eaten them herself by then. Never had a yield, potency or density issue. Timing is everything & dialing in your environment etc I check brix alot.. try to learn what they like & when & then steer them , push them & see what they can do. Then again I use tria, chitosan oligosaccharide, brassinosteroids & harpin proteins amongst other natty "helpers"… occasional rhizo-bacteria predigested bio teas are amazing btw ❤ and top dress and it kinda just prays the whole cycle… in the beginning it's hard but after 10 yrs you kinda explore all options and styles. Really into teas & bacteria building for certain stages like types of nitrogen solubilizing bacteria strains for veg & more phosphorus & potassium solubilizing bacteria strains focused on flower. Used to be big on K & Si solubilizing bacteria strains but use mono & ortho silicic acid currently. I even make my own lactobacillus strains & 2 purple non sulfur bacteria strains. Try to make certain cultures from mothers and then use those for timed teas during select stages of veg , preflower, bloom & ripening.
    We've come a long way since bottle feeding them 😂

  7. First grow I never really defoled. Every grow I find myself doing more and more. I dont strip my plants but I’ve seen the more I strip the more everything else grows. So this is why I feel heavy is good. One day I’ll try full lollipop but don’t have enough grow space currently.

  8. In 52 years since I popped my first seeds I have tried every thing I have read been told most of it has been crap ive heard people talk about a certain author hou has changed his mind since his first book in early 70s I have read his latest books but people call it the bible of growing he hopefully has improved on his early books he was so wrong like pull when 1.4 of hairs are red wrong
