lol ok there dude thats not bad 29.5 oz holy crap when i break it down my 6 plants i got 3.875 pounds indoor that comes out to what for 6 plants 60 0z almost 61 dry oz . no defoilating only cleaned under canopy vegged 5 weeks 34 gallon totes some people have seen my cola's comparing them to 5 gallon pails just saying we can sit here and go back n forth to me it doesn't matter i really do not care if you skin your plant it will with out a doubt effect many functions that the plant does like Breathing taking in c02 more leafs more stomata 's this has been done numerious times by very good growers and no matter what buds 48 " away from the light source if you skinned your plant will be larf no matter how you shake it right

6 plants on a 5 week veg that yieled almost 4 pounds? Bullshit. I been growing for over a decade and I have grown in all types of media with huge setups and small setups. There is no way in fckin hell you can yield 10 ounces per plant in a 5 week veg under one 1000 watt grow. Thats absolute bullshit.

If you are telling me you are yielding even 3.5 lbs off of a single 1000w grow you are full of shit. Sorry but take that somewhere else. Im not into story telling.

If you get roughly 1.5 lbs per 1000w grow you know what you are doing.

Anything over 2 lbs per light you are an expert.

If you can harvest over 2.5 lbs per 1000w light then you are in the 1% club which I doubt you are. Some of the best growers in the world on even the best yieldeng strains can barely get 2 lbs per light. And thats professional 20-30 year indoor growers who been growing same strains in absolute perfect environments.

3.85 lbs off a 1000w hahaha yah okay buddy. Sure lemme guess you are the son of God too right? What other bs story u got for us today? Smh. Anyone who even thinks they believe your whale tale should be banned from this site.

Defoliation only works when it is done correctly and for specific reasons. Untopped plants it will be no benefit. Small plants it will do nothing.

Defoliation is for large robust heavily packed rooms that are grown utilizing and maximizing all the light by focusing strictly on upper plant growth IE. Canopy growing where all underbrush is removed. I have almost no larf or popcorn buds at all. On all 12 plants I have less then 2 ounces of scrap pieces its all chunks and tops. Premium meds. I got just over 4 lbs off 2 lights. Thats very good results.

If i didnt defoliate I would have never gotten to that yield. Probably been lucky to hit 3 if I let them grow out and never removed leaves. Your plant needs leaves to grow big strong roots systems in veg. In flowering its not as important to have all that foliage. Which sucks up nutrients and vital resources where you are focusing on bud production not leaf production and roots. By the 3rd wk of flower your roots are no longer growing and expanding they r there to support the plant and drive bud production. Thats why removing the leaves at critical times increases yield and doesnt affect plant health etc.. Maybe im not explaining it the best but thats how it works.
