I am learning to lollipop and had some questions. I have seen where most ppl say to trim off the lower 1/3 of the plant. Now does this mean cut all the branches, even if there long enough to have buds? or trim off the lower limbs on the branches and leave the top of the branch. Here is a pic of my Kali-47. Let me know what you think.

Both. Lol.

Pending on size one leaves 4-6-8 "mains" topped n then it begins.
Once u start pinching bending topping bottom n sides will take off 2-3 wks b4 the flip I start to clean what I know is waste.
Then 1-2 wks into flower I keep up with pinching n bending n finish cleaning up bottoms.
But generally I cut 2-6 branches off bottom. Strain pending too. If there left trim off all scrap. Some of my strains do better leaving all the branches n just cleaning bottoms up. Takes few runs to get the feel for how much to leave to take n what not.

Personally I would take the last 2 branches off. Top it down a lil not too much. N wait for it to start to grow again. Then start pinching n bending any taler branches. Masking tape works wonders If needed. Also don't hurt to go around n just pinch branches "mains" few knots in em toughen em up. Fer the load

So I should be cutting off branches at the bottom while its a small plant? I figured all that under growth helps get the plant big and strong. I thought that after she is tall enough, then start hacking at it. To me at least cutting at the plant in earlier stages may hurt it, am I wrong?

This isn't necessary out doors because the suns rays penetrate the growth much better than a indoor light ever could.

Agreed. Outdoors it is a must to clean the underside IMO. Air movement keep down on the PM/rot.

Ston,I keep my girls a little more lanky and go for sativas more so than indicas for just this reason.

Here humidity is usually 60+ and the dew point comes up to 70-75 degrees. That means wet buds in the morning.

Ive had PM for years. If i keep it in check it doesnt turn to budrot. I just do everything i can in the meantime.

I do that to almost all my plants,,including my Veggies in my Garden. I keep the bottom 8 to 10 inches clean below my plants outside.
