removing fan leaves in flower

[Lucky Luke]

Here's him asking for guidance on defaning. I'm pretty sure that indicated he is subjectively speaking based on his hopes. View attachment 3738850

Bamm..The internet can catch the fools out fast.

Catch what? It proves that I did in fact just do what I said, to the exact date that I said. 21 days ago.

He bought the "3 a light" book, in which the grower says to defoilate up to 3 times during flower.

for the low low price of $500 while supplies last

I'm just going to assume @rzza is a younger, more zealous grower.

 

[Budzbuddha]

Jesus ... $500 bucks ... Rather dump that on a COB build

Well you're wrong. Im old and I have grown so many different methods from coco, soil, dwc, nft, pure perlite, drip systems etc. I never really plucked anything but I also never grew large plants. I never went larger than a 4gal pot. And they were tall and thin. Now that I am in 20 and 25gal pots I posted a photo of the monster and the dude says I should defoliate them so I looked into it and decided to do ONE plant. Then 3 weeks later I did the rest. I decided to share that with you guys because it worked for me. Thanks for being total assholes though.

Heres a very long read but very scientific.

Wooo .... Guys, I'm a believer lol. No need to prove anything to me, I don't pull leaves off .... Well I have but didn't do shit for me lol.

...young and rude.

The bottom line is you came in here with a very aggressive, know-it-all, attitude, with no sources to back your opinions. That crap doesn't fly.

I've been growing for years, growing in all those you've posted and Aquaponics as in the pictures aforementioned above; and yes, most informed growers would infact say that growing Aquaponic Cannabis on the level I am is fairly impressive, but still, I consider myself a novice.

It works well for increased yields. Don't listen to people who don't do it.

Check out square inverse law of light. Growing tall monster plants indoors under artificial light is like pissing into the wind. This is why people use so many training methods for an even canopy. Removing leaves that are 24" from the light source to expose leaves that are 48" away makes zero sense.

..I've looked through your post history. I didn't see much supporting this claim. Do you mind sharing pictures in support?

Lol, I've been on here since like may. One day I may take the time to chart every day I garden, but I have a job, and it already takes a while just to maintain my garden.
I'm just saying try it, or not. It's up to you.
See for yourself.

I've have, as I've grown for many years. I tent to find more underdeveloped buds with more defoliation.

I also understand the science in biochemistry which goes against all defoliation claims, but still, I keep an open mind.

You have to be careful. And very picky, but it works. I do it 3 times in flower, and not a lot.
I also tried lollipopping, after I was told that's dumb. And it gave me more weight.
Just keep an open mind, and run a control.

Experimenting, self believe, showing your work, or telling theories are all fine, but pushing onto others as fact, without source of, or scientific evidence, and/or documented methodology, is purely opinion, and should be shared that way, shouldn't it?

I invite you to share these theories, when you get the chance, an possibly dis-proving 100's of years of botany worldwide.

I said try it or not. Don't listen to naysayers, there are people that support it as well.
That's not pushing. It's suggesting someone be scientific themselves, instead of disregarding something because of what they've read.
I'm not asking you to believe in a fairy tale like jesus, or anything stupid.
Just saying try it. Geez

This is stated as fact and it's only your opinion

You're fine, man, nothing said was to imply, on my behalf.
