Horrified to prune, don’t know which ones

[Romeo7701]

That claw on some of those leaves probably won't go away. You want to prevent new ones from becoming like them.

Ok ill back off on the nuits and feed at 50% for a week and see what happens can't hurt and I'm going to a 10/30/20 mix at 50% when I switch to Flower... Thanks SHO I appreciate the advice I'll get me a pattern down then have to figure out a new one when I go hydro...

Here is where I would start. Send after pic for the rest. Sterilize our scissors and hands before attempting. View attachment 4700870

Thank you for the details you took your time out to do. My concern is the bottom is being choked out.

I argue continuously over this subject. Those that can't say it can't be done. Those that know grow heavy dense goodies. View attachment 4700872

Oh yes, those are some yummy goodies all right

Awesome looking man can't stop saying it!!! Here's what I'm working with right now... Not as nice as yours butt it's the first time I've grown again in 36 years Lol...View attachment 4700885View attachment 4700888View attachment 4700893

So it looks like you cut it at some time right at the top. When did you Make that decision?

I always top my plants when they get at least 4 nodes sometimes I wait till they have 6 then I top wait two weeks then lollypop and defoilate that's the way I've always done it, it'sjust my preference but allot of growers do it...

 

[Romeo7701]

I have several friends that grow and they have Topped, not Topped and lollypoped and not lollypoped every time they Topped and lollypoped they got at least 3 ounces more yield then not so I decided to follow their lead... Wizzelbiz on here just got through doing a test and posted it on here one plant defoliated, One lollypoped and one that he didn't do shit to, just let her grow and do her thing she produced the least and the lollypoped one produced the most...

Air flow and heat.

And humidity

For some reason my first pic of where I took off leaves only shows half a pic so sending the pruned front again.

Your plant will be raining leaves if you do. They need that N when in flower just as much as vegging; in fact for the first four weeks even more. Think about how much they are transforming, growing and stretching. It is also why you see so many post on here saying 'Week two of flower, what is this deficiency?'

 

[MICHI-CAN]

Here is what I see. And remove all growth in the rectangular box that isn't a main stem (branch). Keep me posted. Would more people to know how this works. And how well when done right.

I respect your experience. Refute your claim. Nute def and other issues. Not defol related. How long you been defoliating? Just opinions and experiences from different styles. Hydro guys should avoid it. Soil it is effective.

Not following you. I was replying to Romeo about going to 10/30/20 in flower. Did not mention anything about defoliating the plant. Please re-read with the quote first.

My sincerest apologies. Honestly. Really defensive after the beating I have taken for my methods. I'm an ass, admittedly. Please overlook my lack of reading. I'm just trying to help people. Getting bashed all the time by those who don't or can't.

Please address the nute issues. Let's get this full and fat. Peace always.

I've actually experimented with this more than once. Clones from same spots on same mom's, one defoliated, one left to bush up on it's own. I understand the "solar panel" argument and all, but in my experience my yield has always been noticeably better when I defoliate/expose more bud sites to light. The key is to not go overboard, I only remove the biggest fan leaves growing out of the main stems.

I also always get a lot more yield from lollipopping vs not.

Ok I'm using 20/20/20 at 1/2 strength and my leaves are dark green with tips curling down...
Soo maybe full strength in the 10/30/20 are definitely stay with the 20/20/20 till week 4 in flower??? All my girl have been topped defoilated and lollypoped + LST on them...
