Hey everyone. I'm currently about 2 weeks into flowering and I think I'm about to run into an issue. I was pretty lazy with training techniques, as this was my first grow I kind of just wanted to see how things progressed naturally. Now 2 weeks into flowering and I have a lot of excess growth on the lower half of my plants, and I'm worried I'll have problems with bad airflow, or popcorn buds. Is it okay to start lolloping this late into the cycle? If not is there anything else I can do?

I just watched this one before hitting the forum today.
Technically you can do it whenever, but if you do it in flower you may see a bit of slowed growth for recovery. I think a lot of people (including myself) lollipop, defoliate, and LST plants the first 21 days of flowering during its "stretch period" .. So, you're safe to do it now with not much negative impact on yield - if you'd like.
i think the limit is on the second beginning third week that you can do that . i would do it if i was you . you will see great benefit in my opinion but get more opinions. Chris will tell you for sure :)
