My lazy attempt at showing the trunk and terminal branches going up towards the canopy.

I super crop and top or attempt to fim if I've had enough medicine. Above each super crop the terminal branches turns into a giant knuckle. All growth is above is hearty thick and rugged. And I have squeezed the knuckle with fingers and finger nails just to see what they are like. Each time water squirts out and it's like it is swelled to the brim with nute and or water I don't know I'm not a botany major. I just know the results speak for themselves.

Thanks for liking the thread forgot to post the pics lmfao!
Damn meds..

this is another controversial subject, but i have the perfect solution for any on the fence. wait untill your absolutely ready to harvest then flush it real good. waiting 3-5 days wont hurt the end product at all. personaly i dont flush. im organic so there is no nutrient salt to flush out anyway

1st off, unless you have done at least one side by side with identical genetics and identical environment to remove variables and prove your concepts you can't say 'it works for me bro' or 'my opinion is just as valid as yours is broseph'.... This shit is testable and I'm getting tired of people thinking that all opinions are created equal. Some opinions are based in pure fantasy and self delusion and some are based observable reality.
So far in all the endless stream of posts I see about this topic I'm still the only one I know of who made an honest effort to run the test and actually record the results. So if you haven't done the same please shut up with your 'cutting a bunch of leaves off helps my yield bruh', because it doesn't.
Secondly, lolly popping a plant that is sCrog'd or part of a dense, even canopy is not the same as the bullshit defoliation technique I see people promoting so stop defending your practice with 'but... but... lolly popping...'
Thirdly, why is everyone so Damm afraid of having some larf and popcorn buds? IF you don't chop a bunch of leaves off and have adequate lighting your plant will be able to produce some big donkey dick colas AND a bunch of larf/popcorn. And I don't know about you but I'd rather have a mess of colas and top shelf bud to smoke AND a shit load of popcorn to turn into concentrates. Are you saying you hate hash? Why do you hate the hash? You make the baby Jesus cry when you hate the hash.

How do you get popcorn buds? They sound delicious. Do you add butter and salt to get the hash? Are they pre-popped or do you have to cook them somehow? Obviously you wouldn't want to put them in a bong. Poof....(:
Is there something I'm doing wrong to not get them?
Should I leave all the parts that don't make it to the light on? Is that how you Make them?
If I get a smaller light to flower that might work as well. I mean who don't love hash.
Really, what is your home hash but, the bud that never made the grade and who don't want that I say.....:roll:

Colas yes. Larf no!
Open her up in the middle. Leave all leafs on the outside. Take it off if it wont make it to the light = no mold and tighter bud.
Larf is not your friend.
Just say no...To larf

:peace:

If i have done something several times and it has results I am happy with then " it works for me bro" there is no written law when hobby growing.

This isn't a professional dispensers only website.

To each his own. People like you who do nothing but quote info from online and quote other peers posts to prove points are the reason there is a debate at all. It should be a couple operative expanding experience imho.
Where is you proof of concept you talk shit then post no pics.

Im just giving my opinion and what I do to my plants. You opinion means fuck all to me. Espically since your not the op.

I hope everyone that uses this site grows medicine the are happy with. I know I do.

Nameste.

Just quote others? What are you even talking about? I've been growing since 1994 and I have run grow journals on this and other sites many times. You know nothing g about me so don't talk out of your ass. You want to debate techniques? Fine. But keep your uninformed opinions about me to yourself because you're just making yourself look like a troll and that's a shame because you seem like a reasonably intelligent person.

Trolls like you make people not even want to post. There are tons of beginners here people who aren't as "pro" as you bruh.

I grow chronic. And a lot of it. And everything I type in this site is from my fingertips not the copy and paste button. I wouldn't tell someone to do something to a plant that I 1. Haven't all ready done. 2. Wouldn't do myself.

Just because I write this shit don't mean you gotta read it. Gtfo if you don't agree with the entire thread. Why even come in and say anything? Just cause your angry at some other bullshit. Grow weed and be happy bro. Maybe you forgot but your supposed to smoke some if your weed at least....

It goes to show that my Kings kush that had deficiencies and lost ALOT of the bigger fan leaves has entered flowering much slower than the other plant I have opposite it. Different strain but I can't help but think it goes to show how a loss of leaves is detrimental.

Don't be such a bitch about it. I state every time I post this is my opinion and what I do. And also say do what works for you. Some people are as fortunate as you silver spoon. They have lighting issue. Nute issues. Heat issues. And lack of funds and so on. my grow is different than yours and different than Steve's.

Try invoking interest in people instead of confrontation.

Just because I don't have your status on this site make you think I've never grown before?

Get it bud. Your the man. Nobody's as good as you. Your a beast. Chew it up killer.

Angry? Lol. I'm not angry in the least. Just keep making assumptions if that's what makes you happy. Also, please show me where I'm quoting others for my info. Go ahead, I'll wait.

Other than some long internodal spacing those plants look fine to me. The lolly pooping is a bit more agresive than what I prefer, but over all vigorous and green. Perhaps I missed it earlier, but do you do much topping or FIM?

Side by side? I have 30 to 40 plants blooming at once. All hand watered and checked 2x daily out of boredom.

You think I don't so side by sides?

I just grow every plant the exact same...when I grow mostly from seed.

You know your fact before you talk shit.
Each seed is different. Just like people some where helmets and some don't

Yes each plant has 8+ tops. I run 600 not 1000s so the pop is to focus all mains. I leave plenty of non terminal branches but mostly shoot for those with top fim super crop. Sorry to be a dick bro. I'm sure you know your shit. I'm just showing what works for me. You seem like a very smart cat.
