Issue #584 - Sunday, July 2, 2023 Dear Fellow Grower, In today's issue... - Lollipopping is a sickeningly sweet term for a somewhat harsh cannabis technique where you cut off lots of branches. The name ends up being true to form, because you end up with a super sweet
reward: more, denser, bigger bud! Lollipopping is like telling your plant to save its energy for the really important stuff!
- If you enjoyed today's main article and want to find out even more ways to grow more big buds, check out our "Simplest Plant Training Guide" for the most straightforward easiest way to train your plants. This is the method I use to increase yields and bud quality, with step-by-step instructions!
- We got some fun,
a little weird, and a lot of just-plain-good. This week's trophy pics are here to help you bring in your Sunday morning in just the right way. Sit down after a bowl, breathe deep, and I guarantee these pics will improve your day by a minimum of 2.5 good-day points.

Lollipopping Cannabis: How to Do It Right! (and get bigger yields) 🌱✂🌿🍃➡🌳🤯 |
|

To “lollipop” a cannabis plant means to remove most growth from the bottom of the plant that isn’t getting light. With lollipopping, the cannabis grower leaves the top of the plant untouched, so it's full on top and bare on bottom, like a lollipop. The lollipopping technique leaves the cannabis plant resembling a lollipop—full on top, bare on the bottom. Why lollipop your marijuana plant? It forces the plant to put more energy into the top buds, resulting in bigger, longer, and more dense top buds. As a bonus, lollipopping stops a cannabis plant from wasting energy on buds lower on the plant (which typically don’t get big and are less potent than the top buds on average). This marijuana lollipopping tutorial will teach you
how to increase your cannabis yields and bud quality using the lollipop technique. “Lollipopping” cannabis means removing bottom growth so that the marijuana plant puts more energy into the bud sites at the top. With these lollipopped cannabis plants, the bottom growth has been removed to allow the main buds to get all the light and energy. Lollipopped marijuana plants tend to put more “effort” into the top buds, which is what you want (top buds are typically the biggest and most potent buds on a cannabis plant).

Have you ever wondered how some growers are able to get each cannabis plant to grow so many big buds? How do you force a single cannabis plant to grow many big buds instead of only one main bud? The answer is to train every plant to grow relatively flat and wide in the vegetative stage. Essentially, you use bending and tying down to create a flat canopy. Then, when
plants start flowering, they naturally grow with many main buds instead of only one. Learn how to grow many big buds on one plant! |

"Your website is the most helpful and comprehensive "how-to" instructional medium I've ever seen. I noticed however that there is no mention of keeping just harvested buds in a light free area[...] I think this mention would help expand an already incredible and timely presentation that's readily available at the touch of a keyboard....Thanks..." ~Dave First, thanks for the kinds words. Second, well done on constructing a magnificent compliment sandwich. No joke! Lastly, you raise a good point. We've never tested this ourselves, but I don't see how keeping your bud in the dark can do anything but minimize changes in your bud. We'll update our info 👍 ~Sirius |

"Someone got caught sneaking into the grow tent. Or, damn, that's a big fungus gnat." ~Garrett It's like a huge fungus gnat that catches mice, poops on sand, and occasionally eats a lot of your weed plant. 100% worth it 🐈 ~Sirius "Gorilla glue

the right order, it's like the plant was shy about it's color mutation. Don't be shy plant; you look great! ~Sirius "First pic Purple haze from ILGM next is GMO+Mimosa bag seed next is Blueberry from ILGM also. PH&BB are in planter’s GMO is in the ground. PH popped 4/20 which is also our

"Where did I leave my enormous lighter and gigantic hemp wick?" We an't let them get away with this! The year is 2023 and scammer ants are making off with our hard-earned joints. Just look, that joint is barely smoked. The true owner never even got a chance to enjoy it...truly a pity. If an insect comes up to you and promises to magically turn your one partially smoked joint
into 3 brand news joints if you close your eyes and count to 500, say "No!". Similarly, if anyone at all requests money from you through shady means (wire transfer, gift cards, etc.), pretend it's that weed-stealing ant and say "No!". Unless it's the ant again, in which case you should grasp your joints tightly and run. She's* tricky! *Did you know that almost every ant you'll ever see is a
girl? Make sure to watch out for seed scams! Remember: Real seed businesses don't contact you. They let you contact them. If anyone messages you to sell you seeds on social media, look out! It's possible they will take your payment and send nothing. Always take a second to think before sending money to anyone, especially if they contact you (whether by DM, text message, phone call, email,
etc.).

peanut butter and jelly, salt and pepper, or bacon and eggs. Although you can lollipop a plant and do nothing else, the future yields of your cannabis plants will benefit immensely from two additional, easy-to-do techniques. The first is topping/fimming, the second is... Low Stress Training (LST) Tutorial - Once you help your plant get rid of all that dead weight,
you're going to want the remaining branches to be nice and orderly. Again, this is all optional, but Low Stress Training will make an easier-to-manage plant that yields more sticky bud. This is even more true if you mix lollipopping, topping/FIMing and Low-Stress Training. And guess what? It's way easier than it sounds! Bigger Buds with Nebula’s Easy Manifold (Cannabis Main-Lining
Tutorial) - Are you old enough to remember the Power Rangers or Voltron? If not, all you need to know is that they were a bunch of robots that came together to form a larger, better robot. Wait, this will make sense! If lollipopping, topping/FIMing, and Low-Stress Training were all robots, they would form together to make Manifolding. Manifolding is a combination of all the tricks above plus a little extra. The result is magic!
