Ok who knows anything about this one?:

"The rain derived from a lightning storm makes plants grow better".

Of course- the ozone in the air during a lightning storm perfect-pH’s the water and sanitizes it making it a blank slate for whatever nutrients and bio’s you have in your soil, to travel on .
Haha. Made that up based on my work at a winery using ozonized water to clean tanks.

I recently tried shwazzing, even after reading the disses on here, on a couple outdoor GG4 clones from good genetics. I understand the idea, and understand the points against it.
“Trimming off leaves focus the plants on growing buds” or, “the other plant believes it is in danger/dying, so it kicks into heavy-reproduction mode” vs. “IT NEEDS LEAVES FOR PHOTOSYNTHESIS!” (emphasis, mine )
It’s my first year, second harvest, and I have some room to experiment. By no means am I an experienced grower- but I do read a lot and take a lot of advice from folks here, and the friend who gave me the clones.
Anyhoo, I started dark-out tenting them on July 20th, 2020, and gave an initial heavy-defoliation (basically “lolli-popped” them), leaving some fan leaves where they wouldn’t shade bud, around August 2 or 3rd. Just cleaned them up more on the 25th as I plan to harvest on the 10th of September, a week before my bday.
Sooo, I definitely did notice the bud begin to bulk up and get more dense within days of the first trim. Other grower friends say this is a pretty regular technique, and it seems I see a lot of pics of still growing plants that have been trimmed down to all but sugar-leaf and maybe one or two fans left sticking from the buds. Look forward to criticism/comments.
Photos 1 & 2: Outdoor gg4 since about 1-1/2’. Started flower July 10th.
Photos 2 & 4: same as above but started flower in 6x3-1/2 closet with lights (a t5 and 3 multi-spec bulb lights; not professionally done), but moved outside after two weeks when I noticed the outdoor one was greener, denser, and healthier).

Anyhoo...]
The pics are a bit jumbled and one popped up I didn’t think would-
Hard to tell but the darker one is the one that spent it’s first two weeks under not-the-best light in a closet...

Leds are better than DE HPS ... bro bible 101

you are going to upset a lot of people who love LEDs. I grew with them and needed to add supplemental lighting to get good resin production. it may be called bro science by some but HPS produces higher yields while MH.CMH AND T5s produce better quality and slightly lower yields. LEDs are an evolving technology with no agreement on the best lights to use LEDs are useful for supplemental lighting and violet and uv leds are getting better. I just ordered some lg3535 UV(385 and 365nn) and a dimmable driver to play with UV and in the past before plant bulbs became so affordable I use 660nm LEDs to add deep red to my T5s
