How are you guys pulling all those leaves a week before harvest? Wouldn't that set your harvest back another week?

You know that's bs, right?.... Cutting leaves off is always a bad idea for an inexperienced grower

Cut all the fan leaves off a week before harvest and your plant is gonna stop..... Throws into shock and it starts to die.... Gives the buds a look of being done w the color change but not that last swell.... It would take a month for it to actually finish and prolly throw nanners

There is something to be said about nutrients being used up tho..... I grow organic and plan my soil so its wore out at the end and I have to feed.... Because it cures easier\quicker and smoother than plants that are dark ......

And I did read a post not long ago about those stored nutrients in the leaves being the cause of late flower nanners

But I dunno.... I'm high ..... Don't know you tho and I wouldn't want ya falling into some kinda nonsense while I have a laugh w chuckles

what do you mean? i was pretty much saying, how the fuck can one pull the fan leaves off a week before harvest when it will NOT be done a week after pulling the fan leaves. its just fucking retarded and they are basically harvesting early low potency bud. ive tried every fucking defoliation method and it just FUCKS the quality big time lol.

you dug up a thread from 09 and one about pulling leaves off, I'm thinking woody is on the right track. :dunce:

I's pull off all the leaves, not just the yellow fan thingies. While I'm at it I'd snip off all the hairy sticky fat things at the ends of the stems and I'd leave nothing but bare stems left, just pretty green stems, no leaves, no coca colas, nada.

This is exactly what I do with 'em but I toss the stem away.

You can think its a shit mood or think I'm an asshole if you like........ I only called you a retard because I care..... I would like you and the rest of the retards to start pulling pounds ..... The more we grow the closer we get to legalization

I heard removing all buds at harvest and mailing to me and keeping the leaves forces very potent leaves.

DrAnvil · Sep 23, 2020

Yes,I also heard if people remove buds and mail them to my house,that does wonders for me!

I would only suggest cutting leaves this late into flowering if they have mold or mildew and only for that reason to keep from spreading but if you can cure it without cutting I would advise tht
