Do you count flowering from 12/12 switch or when you see pistil hairs?

This bullshit that plants don’t take N in flower is a joke. It’s the most used nutrient during its whole life.
And surprisingly N is most critical during seed formation during late flower (if you're into that) because protein is a huge component of cannabis seeds, much more so than the leaves or any other biomass of your plant - gram for gram.

I lived in grass valley in Nevada county..I’m very familiar with truckee..a lot of yuppies live up there
I knew people in Grass Valley. We would party there sometimes. There was a bunch of punks there back then. It was fun. The river was fun too.

You're right about yuppies. But I was just a punk snowboarder. When I first moved there, Alpine Meadows didn't even allow snowboarders. Squaw Valley was my mountain.

Homewood was my mountain, but I only got the hill a few times a winter.

I had a pass somewhere every year. Sugarbowl was fun too. Every spring they would make an awesome park. A lot of times in spring I would ride in a t-shirt. Fun as hell.

I still have all the passes I've ever had.

Out of all the times i have been to sugarloaf only twice was the peak open. Once i had a beautiful day there with all the chairs running and the snowfields wide open. Awesome mountain and village. But like wildcat it has a lot of high wind days. In spite of that, those are my two favorite mountains here in the northeast.

Please show us your grow using your strip the plant technique. It must be amazing since you seem to feel you know all and everyone else's knowledge is wrong in your eyes. We await you're photos.
I have experimented with heavy defoliation and I will tell you it has its place in horticulture. When you SCROG and have tightly packed colas, it has benefits that may not necessarily yield more or less, if you only have a 4x4 or 4x8 space to work with and want to maximize your canopy, thinking out all the leaves after the stretch helps with humidity inside the canopy, plants respirate 97%+ of water they uptake. When your really packing them in I believe it helps get the light deeper into the canopy and helps control the potential for mold and helps with airflow. For the old school way of thinking of not touching the fan leaves, you prolly still grow with HPS..The wave of the future is LED it’s grams per watt, it’s going to be efficiency if your going to compete. HPS is 1-1.5 grams per watt..LED is 2-3 grams per watt. All the old school HPS guys will loose. They won’t make it when the gold rush is over and the market tightens up..

Sounds to me like you can’t get your environment in check and you just butcher your plants to try and not get mildew and mold? Also grams per watt is a joke, boomer.

Dude you grow in a 3x3 tent with a Amazon blurple.
