I've tried multiple times defoliation and literally letting plants get as bushier as they can get and I personally think it is a matter of what works better for you. Defoliation will (for example) manage the energy that was once being delivered to a sick leaf to other healthy leaves, when cut, or even a leaf that is blocking a bud site will immediately allow more light penetration to that bud or it can even help with air circulation inside your grow tent and prevent mold. Although "there isn't much difference" there are guys out there including myself with some pretty nice results defoliating. I personally like to do some really heavy defoliation in the last week or two of flowering so that the lower bud sites get as much light as they need to fully grow or at least develop a bit more. As I said earlier it is a matter of what works better for you, just don't be afraid to try new stuff since cannabis is such a versatile plant. Good Grows and Happy 420!
You make valid points at least but again you didn't read through properly...just saw the title and popped in to offer your opinion.

because no one gives a flying fuck what you have to say when you post pictures of pebbles on a dry rack like it's an accomplishment. You said yourself it took a year and a half to grow 1 healthy plant to completion. Maybe take some advice and it won't take you 5 years to have a good harvest.

What's a good harvest for a 12 week grow, photo period, topped, scrogged, lst, hst, rdwc, 800 watt avg?

Man your plants look impressives, esp. the contrast & color... but the point is that if the leaf canopy is dense enough to absorb all light theres hardly any need to have it even more thick, because lux will greatly drop.

You actually highlighted one inefficiency by yourself - borderline long internodial length for a bud. Once it fattens out itll hang low and even further away from light. Your triplenet prevents that but not everyone has this...

I'll keep providing photographic proof and be upfront...Honestly it can all go to shit if I actually do get mould but this is easily on track for 4lb+ I reckon that's a very conservative estimate. This grow has an extra plant that will make it to the end plus I gave them an extra week in veg and I only flowered for eight weeks on the previous grow to ensure this grow would be maximised. Which means I can give them however long to finish properly.

lol I tried to offer some advice so you wouldn't harvest a bunch of garbage. I've made these mistakes before. You're the one that copped an attitude bud. Saying I'm not reading a thread that's mainly people bickering and shit... nah I'm not reading the thread... why would I. The fact of the matter is your canopy is way too dense. You have too much thin undergrowth and you're going to have a bunch of low quality product for no reason.

It's w/e live and learn. 2.7lbs isn't bad at all for a harvest if you're not counting the popcorn no one wants to buy or smoke...

You have the ability to keep plants healthy, that's a lot more than most new growers, shit there's guys on ig with 30k followers that flowers yellow plants EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME. And he's teaching seminars. You're doing real well. But you could be doing better if you followed the techniques that have been proven to work. I'd hate to see your whole shit molded out because you didn't want to listen, that's a lot of weight to lose.

Again I never meant to offend you. I am totally a dick head, you get it.

It's because you didn't give the answer for why the plants can resist mould. You should be taking this as a lesson.

Not just mould but pests and disease. Why they're so healthy, why there is super tight inter nodal length, why there is massive amounts of lateral growth.

Also every thing you're arguing with as your ammunition has been countered earlier. That's why I was so pissed. Cause if you READ the thread, everything your questioning is explained.

This is why I'm so pissed at you. This is what you should be arguing against if you paid attention...I wrote those words knowing this would happen...It's what I meant about waiting for you...and the FREELY thing1222.png

So in your opinion what he's saying is that high brix plants won't mold or have pests or disease? And that all that undergrowth is stored energy?

I just want to be clear I understand what you're inferring.

You obviously didn't watch it properly. No, it's not about the brix that makes it resistant to mould.

Ok.

My bad, you watched a youtube video and now you "get it".

It's really going to blow your mind when you find Kevin Jodrey and learn about probiotic gardening OH JEEZ BUD. You're in for a treat there.
Lol so you come back without an answer to the mould question AGAIN. Is it really that hard to use your brain for something other than spitting out rhetorical crap.
