Tried my hand at schwazzing

Good result for your 2nd grow. It looks like nice high quality meds too.

I have grown about 10 years and this is the 1st time I have gone with a heavy defoliation, so I will just know if it was worth it. On 1st impressions with my plants it seems it may be worth doing. I'm not sure i'll ever go for a full schwazzing like you did though.

The plant needs a way to photosynthesize, so removing all the leaves will have the effect of growing a bunch of leaves.

The better question is will you be doing it again on your next run?
I might when I run some more photos, but I think I will wait a little while longer before I do it to give the buds more time to develop, and when I have 2 to compare.

I think early in flowering is good as other branches are growing to the top. I do wish I had defoliated a bit more in veg though. Next time I will do that. I will probably go for a 2nd defoliation in 2 weeks or so.

I like the comparing idea. I will be doing the same once I get my second flower tent set up. I plan on trying multiple things with clones of strains I want to keep (searching right now), that way I can see what each strain like the best without guessing
