// Definition
A pruning technique where lower branches and growth are stripped away, leaving a bare stem (“lollipop” shape) to direct all the plant’s energy into producing larger top buds. Cuban described achieving 2 pounds per plant using this method, with the most dominant tops encouraged to grow large colas without overcrowding.
// From the Episode
Cuban described: “I’m getting the most dominant tops and everything else is getting cut down from below the trellis just to encourage big colas without overcrowding it.” He was experimenting with two plants per light to achieve three pounds per light, up from his previous single-plant method yielding two pounds per plant.
