the only place lollipopping increases yeild is in a singlecola sog setup IMHO.

the way it works for me is 10 days into flower i remove all the lower branches so all that is remainig is a cola, now the closer i get to the top i will leave the fan leaves if they get light and just remove the branch.

what i have found is say for instance i go from clone to flower in a single gallon bucket i get the same weight from a plant with branches and a plant without branches. just the one is a solid monster nug with almost no popcorns and the other is usually skimpy nugs but both plants finish at 10-14 grams

in an 4x4 area under 1000 i can fit 90-100 lollipopped plants where regularly grown i can only fit 60ish that can add up to 300 grams to the same area easily depending on strain my MK could hit an oz dry per stick thats almost 2 lbs.

if you doit dont remove any tops just whole lower branches and not more than 10-14 days into flower 10 for 60 day strain aand 14 on longer

if u want check my sig and the caseys in the experiment got cut, i dont think by enough though
