The Yorkshireman said:
However, if leaves are removed later in the season (pre- or post-veraison) or at reduced level (severity), yield is not significantly affected and occasionally increases compared with the non-defoliated controls (Zoecklein et al., 1992)."

Do you even read this stuff before posting it?

Abscisin is produced in the chloroplasts of older leaves and in fact has both inhibiting (growth) and stimulating (protein storage) characteristics. When there is a large supply of abscisin to the growing points of the stem and roots, cell division stops and the plant enters a rest period.

The lad's an amateur
 
Another one that might be involved in defoliation..

Recent research has discovered a number of compounds that also influence plant development. Their roles are less understood than the effects of the major hormones described so far.

Jasmonates play a major role in defense responses to herbivory. Their levels increase when a plant is wounded by a predator, resulting in an increase in toxic secondary metabolites. They contribute to the production of volatile compounds that attract natural enemies of predators. For example, chewing of tomato plants by caterpillars leads to an increase in jasmonic acid levels, which in turn triggers the release of volatile compounds that attract predators of the pest.

Now what volatile compounds do cannabis plants produce...
 
lmao.

Now all the cunt can do is take snippets out of context to try and prove his point, yet if he read the whole section on each plant properly his 'out of context' snippets would make sense and the post destroy his point like they did in the first place.



Cotton yield goes up because THE PLANT DOESN'T GET BOLL ROT, thus not losing any yield to said rot.
The yield isn't increased because plant has produced more cotton, the yield is increased because you don't lose as much to rot!

Similarly the grape yield is increased because you haven't lost as much to fruit rot because it's been defoliated to increase AIRFLOW and make the BUNCHES LESS DENSE thus reducing the possibility of fruit rot!


Fuck me the lad can't think rationally or with a smidgen of logic at all.
He just takes things out of context and sees what he wants to see.
