Has anyone in the 600 defoliated a plant? I know most people are against it but I've been reading and going over threads and the people that say it's bad for the plant have not actually tried it, yet the people that have tried it said they will never look back. I know it probably wouldn't be reccomended for every strain like a tall sativa with hardly any leaves but there's more science leaning towards defoliation being benefitical for cannabis than there is against it. So i'm stumped since the growers bible says not to pluck leaves. I'm starting to think the bible is wrong on some chapters 
I think it's from fear of trying something new, at least that's why I never have tried. I'm kinda not too worried about the tangilope now, it might actually be a yield booster 
I guess I'll know after harvest one way or the other though

Oh man its such a long story but ill try to keep it short.
I was working 14-18 hours a day a period of 3 months on a vibrating road paver standing on one leg trying to keep view cause of a dumb ass driver unable to work a crane transporting the asphalt. I started having pain in the knee. like under the kneecap towards the foot. tried different positions for a few days but the pain was too much so i went home sick over the weekend. After rest in the weekend it was fine Monday and Tuesday, wednesday it came back strong and i was unable tosupport on it. So i was sick thursday friday resting the weekend. Then felt fine and started work. When the pain came back tuesday i tried everything to keep going but then i accidently stepped into a hole and my world came crashing holy shit what a pain. Had to call the gf to pick me up where i was cause i could not use my leg at all. Went to the doctor. Doctor said it was just (Aw man cant find the word) overworking it. And i should give it 14 days of rest along with some pills. Never came back to the same work it was impossible. I was in pain constantly. So with the pain i worked on a big machine instead where i could sit most of the day. But muscles faded dayli as i was not able to walk right. Season ended and so did me working.
1 year later and a bunch of exams with MR and ultrasound. Diagnoses like chondromalacia and femoral pain syndrom, jumper's knee a doctor found out its an infected bursae causing everything. It rarely happens it becomes like cronical infected and has to be removed.
Operation was tuesday.
Had it and something chizzeled/scraped of my top chinbone tipias something. lol im so tired.
2 weeks with cage to keep it straight. And then im gonna have retraining. Dont know how long yet. Im having a meeting over phone tomorrow. But as i think ill be going a long time. i have no muscles what so ever and seems like my knee has more problems now cause of that. Knee cap pulling sideways and so. Damage to the cartilage. So im not expecting a great knee, i just wanna walk pain free.
Quick rundown. ive tried more jobs and fysioterapi running a case for working my knee off and stuff.
Hope it helps in any way. I cant think straight no more

Blackberry kush sounds good. They open pollinate so run as many as you can if you do.Yeah doc has been doing some nice things lately or forever i dont really know
Since its black friday ive been looking around the internets buying small gifts and stuff.
Now its my turn
-Night nurse. BC Bud 80/20
-Black Berry OG. Emerald triangle 80/20
-Pakistan Chitral Kush. Cannabiogen /Pure Indica
If you know any other strong indicas let me know.
Hydro, one of my new favs is Ceres / White Indica, real strong, stays short and flowers in about 6 weeks so in breeding you could use it to shorten the flowering period of the plant you cross it with.Yeah doc has been doing some nice things lately or forever i dont really know

Hi all, I did a run of clones of ED and PK using the near 100% humidity (heat matt) and very little lights (off to the side of the 8 bulb) is working amazingly well. They are by far the best looking clones I have done to date and rooting very well for 4 days lol. I got ED male pollen collected and drying, still waiting on the PK male, but it was a week behind the ED. The QQ and Fireballs are getting bigger can't wait to start flowering these girlies.

Hey jig, yeah I never would take leaves off on a outdoor plant, I rarely do on indoor plants either. But outdoor the sun moves (like if you had a light mover indoors) and also the earth spins and the wind is always around so there is always light and wind shining and blowing on a outdoor plant at all angles throughout the day. But jeeze, indoors.. this tangilope is insane, i've never seen so many leaves before on a 14" plant, I've been taking 10 off each day to come back the next and have 20 more covering the tops all over the place! It's crazy, the other plants are fine other than I had to super crop a few tops to even out the canopy. You know when there's a growing shoot under the canopy and it gets light green and really slow growth and fragile? That's how my tops were on my tangilope! It's been growing but the fan leaves were covering 90% of the tops and the leaves were getting water build up from all the over lapping. Freaking ridiculous. I hope it comes out ok, I think it was Aeroknow from this forum that said he would only grow it outside.. Now i know why, it's just too crazy of a bush for indoor

Here's what's left , still a ton of l3aves but I only took off the ones covering tops and over lapping , hoping they will be OK because it was a bag of leaves. I got too scared to take any more of them off even though some are still shading tops

Prototype (as it were) of my DIY mirror risers for the motorcycle, finished with Phase-1.
The all-thread is centered snugly in the aluminum pipe with strips of rubber cut from a bicycle innertube.
I might end up cutting four more sections of larger diameter pipe to sheath the aluminum pipes as it might be a wobbly with such narrow bases (will just wrap the smaller aluminum pipes in rubber strips like the all-thread to make it a super snug & vibration-free fit).
I'll finish the other set of risers in a minute (all pieces are cut to size and just need assembly) and test it out.

ok thanks jig, that puts my mind at ease, I felt like I was butchering these things lol. Just really was freaking out about mildew potential and getting rid of the leaves on the tangilopes was the only thing i could think of. it actually lowered the humidity a few % even. The damn plant is supposed to be 80% sativa but I ain't believing that anymore

Lookin good doobs! Hell of a idea to raise the mirrors, most rockets are a pita to check the mirrors, that should make it much better and more comfortable for sure

This is the SHIT!!!
I'm almost proud of myself!
Not even going to paint the aluminum, but will take them off later and sand & brush them for a nice industrial look.
But they are as solidly mounted as the original configuration, so I am very happy!
I deserve a few bong tokes...
Before the risers, I could barely see anything beyond my elbows and shoulders...
Now I can just see the ends of my elbows on the inner section of the mirrors, and none of my shoulders at all, so I am SUPER happy!
People are paying $80 for shorter risers.
This cost me $17, and I have enough material to make two sets of them.

I know I'm late but @Dr.D81, when I make small batches, I use margarine because it already has soy lecithin in it and can be used for cookies or melted down for brownies. Giggles and supachuka was very right about that helping with the digestion and speeding up the digestion process. I'm also a believer in the fact that when making butter, it's good to have water in with it to help break down the plant material. It also acts as a filter later when freezing bringing the butter to the top. In fact here's what I made for my dessert yesterday and this little piece did me in till this morning. I did use my pyrex for oil to bake them in without truly cleaning it though.
