Defoliation question

[purplehays1]

Would you guy like to hear the science behind not defoliating? Or are you guy too closed minded?

Would you be willing to listen? Or is it completely out of the question?

I have heard the argument from hundreds of people why it cant work according to science. Not one of them had ever done it. Have you?

So you claim to know enough about science to say with absolute certainty that it doesn't work? Keep waiting for someone to come explain to you the science while we witness the success every 8 weeks. We arent trying to convince you jesus christ or magic or some shit causes it. There is a scientific reason why it works, just neither you or I or anyone here knows why. I have witnessed it time and time again, i dont need a scientific explanation to prove it. I have flowered the exact same strain thousands of times in thousands of varying conditions/techniques and i know what works best, and for many strains it is defoliation.

I dont know crap about science..were did i say i did?

im willing to run a side by side

Sound great, I've done it, as have many others, but doing it yourself is always the best way to learn.

 

[purplehays1]

Ive run side by sides multiple times. Most recently I flowered the mother and a clone that were about the same size except i let the mother stay super bushy and defoliated the clone. The mother produced 20% more bud, but like 35% of it was wispy.

Yes

So then why does the bushy plant produce 35% airy bud while the defoliated one doesn't?

There's an endless number of possibilities, with such a generic question.

No idea. why does it?

To be honest im surprised a plant tripped of all its leaves can even survive. Goes to show you what a strong survivor it is.

This is the result every time i flower bushy plants. They yield more but they have more un-sellable weed that must be used for hash. You are saying this is due to some unseen variable time and time again?

dude u dont take every leaf, just the ones shading lower buds.....

I have no idea what's going on in your garden.

May i see pics of your defoliated girl? I want to see how she looked.

its not an easy thing to do properly, i bet you just fucked it up and now u troll here claiming it doesnt work. Maybe a textbook will explain it to you one day.

Wait, wait, just so I understand...

You cut the large very developed leaves. The one that can handle to most intense light. The ones the have the most chlorophyll, and the most "Source Cells", and produce the most G3P and carbohydrate production, and instead give the under developed, small leaves, that produce the fewest carbohydrates, more light?

I cant, bud. It was a long time ago, before smart phones.

When done properly, but it takes a person with skill and knowledge of the cannabis plant.

Not at all, man, as I said, I came here to learn.

No science textbook required

Guys, cannabis is just a plant.. No different from every other plant. The thread is the same as all the other threads on defoliation. There's never any science behind it...

It baffles me why you guys are unwilling to even "hear" the science behind the negative connotations behind defoliation.

I bought into it once, but then I learned..

It seems like you guys aren't really here to learn.

i already posted a pic of stripped leaves, even the ones that poked from the buds where not of the best quality, the plant is still kicking ass and the triches have made a noticeable improvement compared to last week.
