Hey all, welcome back from the previous thread if you have been following from Defoliation, a scientific approach... . . . .

Ok so new to my crazy adventures??? Basically, total butchery of one of two Wembley (Pyramid Seeds, soooo tasty!) clones . . . . .REAL defoliation, side by side pictorial experiment . . . .

Here's my first installment of pics to this new thread, you can click each pick to be taken to mediafire, where u can zoom in a little ;) . . . . .

I hope you enjoy the coming weeks as much as I! :)


DEFOLIATED (naaahhhhhh really???? lol)












CONTROL PLANT (Yes I know, I've been a wee bit heavy on the N . . . . ;))












Thanx . . . . .

More in a couple of days . . . . .


Note, if you do click a pic, once the image loads in the mediafire window, you can double click that image for a big zoom in, pic quality drops somewhat, but it's ok :)

pffffffffffff hang on a minute . . . . . .

Can I use all these fan leaves I'm butchering to make any kind of half decent bubble hash / ice stuff???? Never done it before, is it reserved for the sugar leaf trim?

Appreciate any advice whatsoever, muchingly thanking you ;)

I'm trying to remove leaves before the plant's metabolism includes them as, and makes them, larger storage facilities. Leaving it till the plant relies on the leaves heavily for storage, I find is more detrimental to the plant, it messes with the internal workings; it's metabolism; shocks it too much.

I've found that if they are nipped off earlier, whilst they are still being built INTO the storage facilities, the metabolism of the plant simply does not halt, if anything, if the plant is growing 100%, it quickens the growth of the next leaf and internode above, stops the vertical growth of the internode the leaf was just starting to power AND fires auxin and the likes into the intern node itself . . . . the repair mechanism ??

Your thoughts??

I do defoliate, but really mostly at six weeks and beyond... so for me it's more a timing thing.

ok.....I confess....I skimmed your last thread and probably will here....so give me a quick summary....wasn't your last thread a side-by-side defoliate vs. leave it alone? How is this one different?

Hey there,

You're right, SAME! It's actually just a move from the last thread, as I sorta hijacked . . . .lol . . . .

So, it's EXACTLY the same test, just in a thread under my own user name ;)

Yo . . .

Veg time?? lol those clones are about six months old . . .
3Gal fabric pots
x2 Phillips 400v from x2 Gavita 600e SE

Other training methods? Not good ones, she doesn't sit yet!!! lol . . . . .Yeah I LST the branches out flat so the individual inter nodes get max light and airflow.
