clip only the small leaves near the buds which come in ones and threes, nothing with a stem you can see. i swear (my buds trippled)

I don't see no need to defoliate at all in your pic ....and if anything try tying it to get more light. I wouldn't remove healthy leaves just mo

Me either

 

[Afgan King]

You really don't have a lot of a plant to really do defoliation. Again maybe the two big middle fan leaves or if its on then one but I love defanning and I'm even saying only two lol

Clip nothing -- add a lower light

If you bought a house would you remove solar panels to look at the roof?
And then complain because your power bills went up?


Leaves are solar panels.

Very true but after week 4 in flower defoliating will add to your yield you just gotta do it correctly

I've seen it on a commercial level cropping 180 plants every 9 days

Might take 1-2 leaves off the top and add another cfls right above her

That's a terrible analogy, plants are not generating electrical power as a primary function.

And yes, if my house was a Cannabis plant, I would.

We can all post big plants..i posted some 15 pounders in another thread earlier that are not defoliated at all (not mine). In saying that they are lovely plants you posted, beautiful.
The defoliate argument will still rage on though. Its like arguing politics or religion, flushing etc

Well those 15lb plants are outside correct? The sun shits on my hps there is no equivalent. If they are 15lb indoor plants then ya got a point. But can't compare indoor to outdoor indoor will shit on outdoor for quality but outdoor always wins in quantity because the sun is way more powerful

 

[Lucky Luke]

of cause their outdoor...u know anyone who gets that indoors?

And that brings us to another debate that will rage for eternity..Are Indoor better quality? Are they really?

And the sun is 10,000 lumans isnt it? Do that easy indoors if u wanted to. Id hate the electric bill though...lol


Sorry of i disagree with your defoliate to better yields..i live in a farming community and trim lots of hedges, trees and plants (nearly everyday). I dont know one farmer who defoliates..trim, yes..Defoliate no.

Indoor quality is better all day not even a question, and you don't have to I won't force anyone to believe it but I've seen it done on thousands of plants seem side by sides of regular pots and smart pots, adding sugars change terp profile or intensify or not, does silica add weight, and the biggest one is lollipopping and defoliation. Seen it done thousands of times each we cropped 180 plants every 9 days idc if others believe me I know what it does those who listen tho have already thanked me and there are multiple people

Get 0 larf airy bs buds everything dense and fat and ready to go all the way down the stalks because every gets direct light plus less issues of bod rot, pm or any other fungi due to better air flow and no dark spaces

I'd use the search bar for this one, as this debate has been going on for quite some time. You won't find and answer here.
