What are you growing magic beans? I guess if Edward can show me good results on this grow after all what happened to these plants, then i must be the most rusty grower ever. The solar panels are off, week 3? not gonna happen. Not saying it's not worth trying to get a few small nuggets ats this point by finishing them, just that these plants cannot give a big yield anymore no way..
Edward I strip more leaves than you did twice in flower, they always grow back in a week - in different places.
You'll be fine, don't fret.

You're at week 3 or so of flower?

"easier to manage going forward" ??? This is simply not true at all. Nothing about this post is true,. Keep the leaves on ALWAYS.This heavy defoliation will use less nutes and less water so easier to manage his res going forward. And from what I can understand the cell growth will have better medicinal benefits.
Is there a plant under that screen?

You're right if you want larf.defoling is not a regular technique. its for advanced growers. you have to KNOW a plant before you rape it. That applies to everyone.
"larf" or whatever the fuck word that is refers to people that grow under 1000w leds from amazon for 69 bucks. Thats not a word normal growers ever use or see....You're right if you want larf.
What the hell are you talking about?For sure, learn the plant...there's a trend with these posts recently of extreme defoliation coincides with knowledge being around of making the plant produce better in terms of medicine and to save water and nutes. Something about cell being sent out to repair translate to you ingesting/inhaling them later.
What are theyThat kinda of "understanding" leads to nothing more than small, mediocre plants.
A new grower should, I dunno, let the plant grow a few times and see what one should look like, before you decide to go butcher them.
You might be surprised by the results.

Exactly. Well put.I would give that lady all she needs and get whatever you can outta her and start fresh when she's done Looks like you got a few nice nugs coming along. Don't give up on her, she's trying with what she has!
Edit: ladies*
Go to the end, just for experience's sake
Preach. If you must dabble in the dark arts. Tread lightlyDefoling is ONLY for experienced growers. you have no reason to take good leafs off the plant.
Any newbs watching: do not take healthy leaves off your plants. learn about that later....
