Ok My Led Brethern I Did Give My Ladies A Hair Cut Today And Made A Command Decision And Lowered My Screen To 8 Inches From 10.I Did This To Even Out My Canopy And Spread Out My Ladies Some More To Allow For Better Penetration And More Budsites.Ppm 639 pH 6.02 Res Temp 73 Tent Temp 77 Rh 56%

^^^^why don't you take all of the leaves off while your at it!!!
.........you defoliators are a whacky bunch, still love you DAWG
here's an excerpt from one of the most respected marijuana researcher/cultivator Robert Clarke :
Leafing is one of the most misunderstood techniques of drug Cannabis cultivation. In the mind of the cultivator, several reasons exist for removing leaves. Many feel that large shade leaves draw energy from the flowering plant, and therefore the flowering clusters will be smaller. It is felt that by removing the leaves, surplus energy will be available, and large floral clusters will be formed. Also, some feel that inhibitors of flowering, synthesized in the leaves during the long noninductive days of summer, may be stored in the older leaves that were formed during the noninductive photoperiod. Possibly, if these inhibitor-laden leaves are removed, the plant will proceed to flower, and maturation will be accelerated. Large leaves shade the inner portions of the plant, and small atrophied floral clusters may begin to develop if they receive more light.
In actuality, few if any of the theories behind leafing give any indication of validity. Indeed, leafing possibly serves to defeat its original purpose. Large leaves have a definite function in the growth and development of Cannabis. Large leaves serve as photosynthetic factories for the production of sugars and other necessary growth sub stances. They also create shade, but at the same time they are collecting valuable solar energy and producing foods that will be used during the floral development of the plant. Premature removal of leaves may cause stunting, because the potential for photosynthesis is reduced. As these leaves age and lose their ability to carry on photo synthesis they turn chlorotie (yellow) and fall to the ground. In humid areas care is taken to remove the yellow or brown leaves, because they might invite attack by fungus. During chlorosis the plant breaks down substances, such as chlorophylls, and translocates the molecular components to a new growing part of the plant, such as the flowers. Most Cannabis plants begin to lose their larger leaves when they enter the flowering stage, and this trend continues until senescence. It is more efficient for the plant to reuse the energy and various molecular components of existing chlorophyll than to synthesize new chlorophyll at the time of flowering. During flowering this energy is needed to form floral clusters and ripen seeds.
Removing large amounts of leaves may interfere with the metabolic balance of the plant. If this metabolic change occurs too late in the season it could interfere with floral development and delay maturation. If any floral inhibitors are removed, the intended effect of accelerating flowering will probably be counteracted by metabolic upset in the plant. Removal of shade leaves does facilitate more light reaching the center of the plant, but if there is not enough food energy produced in the leaves, the small internal floral clusters will probably not grow any larger. Leaf removal may also cause sex reversal resulting from a metabolic change.
If leaves must be removed, the petiole is cut so that at least an inch remains attached to the stalk. Weaknesses in the limb axis at the node result if the leaves are pulled off at the abscission layer while they are still green. Care is taken to see that the shriveling petiole does not invite fungus attack.
It should be remembered that, regardless of strain or environmental conditions, the plant strives to reproduce, and reproduction is favored by early maturation. This produces a situation where plants are trying to mature and reproduce as fast as possible. Although the purpose of leafing is to speed maturation, disturbing the natural progressive growth of a plant probably interferes with its rapid development.
Cannabis grows largest when provided with plentiful nutrients, sunlight, and water and left alone to grow and mature naturally. It must be remembered that any alteration of the natural life cycle of Cannabis will affect productivity. Imaginative combinations and adaptations of propagation techniques exist, based on specific situations of cultivation. Logical choices are made to direct the natural growth cycle of Cannabis to favor the timely maturation of those products sought by the cultivator, without sacrificing seed or clone production.
Sorry for the Highjack Dawg!!!!!! just food for thought ...........lol don't break out the knife.

Lmao Brother.A Quick Google Search On Robert Clarke Reveled That He Also States That Trichs Turn Amber Before Milky??????Has This Guy Even Growen A Plant????Doesnt Sound Like It.For All Yall Reading My Journal I Learned My Basics From Popular Science And Garden Books Back In The Early 70's.That Was Before Most Of Yall Was An Itch In Your Daddys Pants.Ppl Like This Clarke Dude Makes Me Laugh^^^^why don't you take all of the leaves off while your at it!!!

Now That We Have Had Our Google Research Lesson For The Day I Will Proceed In Explaining What I Have Learned This Week.While I Have Been Very Busy Finish Up My Bike I Havent Paid Alot Of Attention To My Auto Hoes.A Couple Of Days Ago I Packed A Bowl And Headed To The Grow Room To Give My Ladies The Attention They So Desperatly Needed Thats When I Noticed That My Sativa Dominate Hoe In The Back Left Wasnt Looking Well.I Got Out My Loope And Started Giving Her A Look Over.I Noticed That Her Pistils Were Reciding And Looking Old And Burnt And Some Were Even Turning Orange Premature.WTF I Recheck My Light Height And It Was Set At 22 1/2 Inches From My Canopy?Now I Check My Other Nasty Hoes And They Were Fine.So I Went Back To My Sick Lady And Started Looking Deeper In My Canopy And About 2 Inches Down My Pistils Looked Fine So I Raised My Light To 25 1/2 Inches.Now My Budsites On My Lady Are Starting To Push Out New Healthy Pistils.Morale Of This Story Is My Light Was Too Low. Im A Pimp You Can Check My Stats I Roll In A Fleetwood Thats How I Mac.I Love All The Girls And I Smack All Da Hoes

Thank You Brother Puffenuff.I Started Off On A 20/4 Light Schedule And I Noticed My Leaves Drooping So I Lowered It To 18/6.

He might be referring to when a trichome forms the cbd cell in vacuole develops first then the thc cell forms out of the cbd cells when breaks the surface into the secratory cavity ( cannabinoid ) . Also depends on the level of thc in the trichomes vs cbd or. But maybe thats not what he meant. I didn't google him. I'm a baker

I don't know if I'd poo-poo on Robert Clarke that quickly.
I had a copy of his Marijuana Botany and remember it as being a fairly insightful read. Unfortunately, I gave my copy away... however, that book is 30+yrs old now, and things have certainly changed...
EDIT: While trying to find a decent copy of Clarke's old book online in futility, I stumbled across this collection with a chapter co-written by Clarke
