NO defoliation appreciation thread.

[GC_Mospeada]

I'm a new grower, a year and a half in and I'm shocked at the amount of people that take fan leaves off of their plants. It's hard to find many grows that keep the goodness on so here's a call out for the NO defoliators...Show me your grows so I know I am not alone.

so No one in this thread will remove ANY branches or leaves? Just want to make sure what I’m looking at.

here’s my previous auto with no defol. 0 branches or leaves removed. So if you removed a leaf or branch this thread isn’t for you.

 

[GC_Mospeada]

Yep...We'll see cause...I'm genuinely curious as well...I'm not so sure anyone has taken it this far...However, if you look at week 3 I took off several leaves that had humidity damage...From the WHOLE lot though, several leaves that were sick.

 

[rkymtnman]

if leaves aren't needed by a plant, they will yellow up, die and fall off all by themselves.

I do lollipop and remove lower branches/leaves, before flipping to flower, but then I only remove damaged leaves throughout flower.

 

[xtsho]

I cut nothing.

It's not that you shouldn't remove leaves/branches, it's you should understand why you're doing it. If it's from a Youtube broscience video, you should do more research.

Not if there's so little of it you can let it fall off and die.

 

[TreeFarmerCharlie]

That’s defol

It's not. It's more pruning or trimming than anything. Defoliation, by definition, is a mass removal of leaves.

As was explained to you in other threads, most experienced growers do it for air flow & apical dominance

In your case it would be. You really need to sort out your yellow leaf issue.

Why are you arguing so hard for defol ? You only tried it a few weeks ago. How do you have such a hard-on for it ?

You need to read the ENTIRE definition. It literally means "stripped of leaves". When the military defoliates a forest to expose the enemy, do you think they selectively remove only the ones that are damaged?
