This guy is nuts. And his weed looks like utter shit imo. Looks like he plucks them all the way through flowerhttps://www.420magazine.com/forums/hydroponic-gardening/176415-increasing-yield-defoliation-indoors-whats-mean-how-do.html
That is what turned me on to this a few years ago when I read this. It looks like he took some off during flower, that I don't do. Like I said maybe once, and not very aggressive.
Why did thou do that?Yes. Tropical those look so danky dank. Let's see those bottoms. How tall are they? Container size?
Sorry about the light in the photos.
Beautiful, whitebb2727, those are some sexy girls under there. It looks like one plant to me but I must be seeing through smoke lenses. That would be giant!View attachment 3570358
No defoliation. No need for it. Even canopy.
I should have just simply asked, does plucking 70% of old fans extend your flowering time? It sure did for me.Lol. It was dumb ass not dumb fuck but I'm sorry to say I may not become familiar with that. 300 forum pages? Wow....
Def not here to diss any one, just to be clear. The brother is like my idol. I'm striving to make as much experimental organic space as possible just can't bet my meds on it yet. I do however want to point out many on here have a different style for whatever reason and this is a proven legitimate technique.
808 I lollipop quite high as you can see in my photo. And I do go to the bottom as long as there are large enough leaves to cover and cluster down there.(esp on leafy strains, bubblegum, etc)
I run a 9 week schedy 7-10 day flush with og being my late finish and she is always spot on at 60-63. 50/50 amber.

Thou must light the viny garden in the deep chambers of my garage sir
18 gallons pot, no bottoms just topsYes. Tropical those look so danky dank. Let's see those bottoms. How tall are they? Container size?

Wow. They just keep on growing day after day of flower even though you remove all those fans during flower! Wtf!Sorry. No extended flowering time. When I occasionally run purples they stick to eight weeks. Thoroughly colored
Would love to see some of your late flower pics and some finished bud shots.Not bigger buds. But I believe it helps with stacking my nodes. Doing this in early flower,when the stretch occurs has been a way to put the brakes on the plant so to speak. Leading me to believe my weight is increased from the small to medium nugs that are dense as tops. And also identical dank quality. I have ran fewer plants but there is no need. I want to maximize the space I have while keeping quality of course
Well yes. If you strip the plant, it WILL NOT stretch untill it makes more fans, great when you want to push your entire plant closer to the light, that actually makes much more sense why yield goes up BUT i still have a hard time believing that the plant doesnt get stunted taking all those during flower. Whatever branch you fucked with, will have to "re-configure" the way it processes food and light. When you pluck your buds off early, does it not stunt your plant back a 3-6 days?Not bigger buds.

Actually, purposely stressing the plant makes sense on a way to stop stretch. It does not stretch once it recovers from shock?Well yes.

How does pulling leaves off end up being LOW STRESS??Defoliation takes practice and works very well when grown LST . It is suggested to do a "heavy defoliation" in week 4 of veg and week 4 in flower. But one needs to remove fan leaves thru grow - no "sugar" leaves (if want some good resources,let me know)
