Everything is poorly regulated.

Cannabis product pushers find all the loopholes to get around the regulations like defining all hundred of their snake oil lines as "supplements."

Having said that, you have to regulate yourself, get empowered with common botanical sense, learn what makes a plant tick and sorry newbs, but it aint yanking off leaves and flushing. That's just fuckin' stupid.

Then you may have induced it to produce more, to replace what was removed, meaning you should have left it alone instead of setting it back for a while. Whatever, that is a healthy plant with a good canopy of nice green foliage. Now, keep that way until harvest.

Don't put the shit on me. This is Troll-It-Up and threads get closed whether they deserve it or not. And no, I really don't care what you do but there's plenty of folks here that are interested in my botanical experience, tweeks, explanation of plant processes.

Now, get back on your skateboard JackyO, ride off into the sunset and yank or clip off the ends of your leaves and be happy.

Only saying what I and a lot of members think

Troll -it-up lol
If everyone had an open mind and live and let live about the only threads that would be closed are ones with advertising spam :)

Really doesn't matter what you put up on a thread, everyone has there own views

You have got a lot of knowledge to share and thats great, most the time you want to help, but something you trol threads and thats why you get the odd trol comment thrown your way

If this was my plant I would pull the sides shoots down a little, just 3" will make a big difference to the yield if you have the space

I use garden wire and make a s shape to hold the shoots down

I started growing like a year back, here my pic of my plant :)

after pulling the sides down, this will open the canopy and make it 6" wider the center of the canopy will get more light, if the canopy still too thick just trim the ends of the fan leaves in the center of the canopy so the light can penetrate deeper in the canopy and the plants get more air flow

your plant looks great and you did the right thing holding the plant back
just look how much bud I pulled off one plant

Not bad, but you need to work on the health and quality of your fan leaves.

your right but its not easy, I grow in a hot loft and its very dry, so I do my best, the plant that do grow healthy and full of leaves are just that full of leaf and don't yield a lot, this plant is very bushy but does not grow loads of large leaves, just seems to like it hot, dry and looks unhealthy but it yields loads, pulled over 10oz's of high quality bud
and the canopy was only 70cm wide, best yield I have ever pulled for the space it used under the 600w light, there was a few more plants under the light at different stages in flower

I didnt even say anything about leaves or flushing. Do you just pick random posts to quote and fire off one of your well-worn diatribes? :)

You're not getting this. You drank the cannabis fools Kool-aid and not learned its leaves that produce yields, not bloom foods.

You use whatever it takes to maintain a health canopy of leaves until harvest. Bloom nutes are made for the producer's profit margin, not the customer. They really don't care. Now, if one of the big cannabis shysters did a 5-2-4 with micros and called it a "Bloom nute" I'd be OK with it.

Arrogant fuck, through around a few horticultural cliches and then you talk down to people who don't know better. Grow some chin and stop with the abuse you arrogant fuck.

It has an adjustable ring for ttomatoes in the center of the plant everything below the ring was trimmed in veg i topped 3 times to get 8 equally spaced main colas id bring it down more but im trying to keep the whole room even and right now they all are
 
dang it Uncle Ben, you know you have to powder their bottoms after you change a beta males diapers, you meany!
 
imo dont listen to anyone. Just test it for yourself its easy enough. Two plants defoliate one and leave the other alone.

I have done this myself. Personally I saw 0 difference in bud size or quality. I couldn't tell you it helped or hurt.

Have a bunch of plants crammed together need some airflow? sure defoliate.

Doing a CFL 12/12 from clone? sure take some Obtrusive fan leaves off.

Have a ton of open space with no air flow concerns? leave the plants alone let them do their thing.

I think every grow is different and there are areas where this could be applied.
 
was watching subcools youtube channel growing those 8 - 10 foot bitches outdoors... he had a whole crew out there defoliating. dudes went around talking with top outdoor growers in the state and they all defoliate the insides of the trees. Little sucker sprouts on the inside just makes more bullshit to trim, but some people like that.
