This is a pic of a plants which had almost all of their fan leafs removed during the grow. According to people who don't have experience and just repeat shit they've heard this shouldn't be possible.

It proves nothing at all, you've got two plants and no control.

Hey, all input is good input at times! But pictures as evidence do help sway m judgment on some matters

Not my plant, just an example of defoliation applied to increase yield. I've done it in the past as an experiment and it didn't hurt my yield, got the same yield.

So besides removing them earlier than later, thats the only thing that u benefited? Id say it saved you some time when it was harvest time heh?

I'm just trying to give advice but cant help myself when I see this site filled with people talking from a position of inexperience and repeating shit they've heard. Some people think that's ego, some can see past it. You obviously can't.

I did it as a test really, saw people who have got defoliation down to a science and like most people I had always heard removing leafs was stupid, but unlike most people I wasn't afraid to give it a try.

It proves that you can grow plants and get good yields with no fan leafs, but I understand that some people won't believe anything unless they read it in a book.

That's true, but if you had not cut them you should have been able to get bigger yields, especially in a SCROG since that's the whole point of doing one in the first place(to be able to get a nice even canopy for your leaves to receive max light). If you take clones and try cutting the leaves off one and none of the others you'll see the difference. Don't act like you even have to be experienced this is one of the first mistakes most newbie growers make. Everything seems great so why change it right... wrong, you could do a lot better.

Here's a pic of a single Jack Herer(Haze Pheno) at 8 weeks, I too like to grow monsters.

Big deal, you think nobody here grows or something? lol

This was when I was in between grow rooms since I know someone's gonna jump on me for the brutal set up lol

People can grow big plants and veg a long time or grow small plants and get more crops in a year, many ways to grow a plant, it's the yield over years that count. I didn't say keeping fan leafs hurts plants, I said you can grow a lot of weed while still removing them.

Of course but when you've got two plants the size of the TS's there's not going to be any good done... it's not like they are shading each other out, they are spaced nicely and there's no reason to get rid of large leaves in favor of small ones.

You're missing the point, people who practice that style of growing match some of the best yields out there. Many report better yields removing the leafs. Some report lower yields.
 
Here's 20 something BC God Bud x Bubba Kush that I bred. Took me three generations to get to this point, now I've got to keep growing these seeds out 20 or so at a time to see if I can find a keeper. There's no way you can call me inexperienced, I've made every mistake in the book and I'm telling you now there's no reason to cut fan leaves unless they are dying, restricting air flow, or if you have plants squat together(which is essentially because it restricts air flow).

And I'm telling you some people have found situations where cutting them have increased their yield and it was copied by many who tried. I'm not saying you don't have experience, I'm saying you don't have experience with cutting off your fan leafs, by your own admission.
