Pruning(defoliation) on sea of green

[gr865]

I detect some mis info being given here.
1100 plants that is all the pics he offered.
And if he let an underling do that without supervision, I would fire his ass.

The space is big.
1100plants, 300 were defoliated.
The mistake was done because i have new worker who took advice from other ex worker who showed him some online tutorial how he did it(photo). But this new guy over did it anyhow...
I did not reveg since i was scared it might cause addional stress, the plants are recovering now, i would be satisfied if i get 50% yield...

I bet you will get better yields from the 300 than the 800 and if not the same but not less..

Sorry for not replying i was away. Harvest is slowly approaching so we would see exactly the difference. Now i can post a picture of the progress since than...
The second picture is from a non pruned plant. That started the same time.

I use the "if it is shading a bud" rule. If it covers a bud or can make a bud get better, cut it off.

Looks like the defoliated plant stretched like crazy trying to get enough light.

Agreed snip if shading other buds otherwise dont bother

At the end it wasnt too much of a difference.
The ones that were defoliated turned out 588g per lamp.
The others were 630g per lamp.

While not a huge difference that's data. Did you notice any difference in quality or bud density?

Don’t trip, you’ll be good to go. I don’t trim that high anymore but in two weeks you won’t even be able to tell you trimmed
