In my opinion it results in buds that have no significantly greater THC content, and a much greater proportion of leafy matter. It's not bad if you're gonna run it thru an extractor and pull the goodness from the vegetation, but it makes for a 2nd-rate smoke if you cure it and use it like bag-weed. For my gardening energy, I prefer more branches with normal buds per end than big, fat frostless globs that smoke like sun leaves.

But, I invite disagreement on the topic. It's highly subjective, and probably more or less successful, depending on the strain you've chosen to experiment with. I encourage you to "lollipop" a few buds -- not the whole plant -- and judge for yourself. The worst you will come out with is more volume with less octane . . .
You completely got the wrong idea. Lollipopping is when people flower the plant early and the main stem begins to stretch as apposed to more growth.
