IMG20160802060138.jpg took 2 leaves off her. I think she looks better now anyway, definately starting to frost up and I think she is doing alright for 33 days since the flip. Considering she had NO preflowers before I flipped her.

I did post pics of a side by side in a thread about 3 a light, that is true. But I would never buy the book, can think of a whole bunch of things I'd rather do with $500

Oh I agree I said it was garbage as well and never heard anyone endorse it. I guess the term I do is selective defoliation would that be more correct cause I don't remove everything just enough just trying to make sure we don't have another argument in a thread over miscommunication. @RM3

No beans here; we're all white (not that it should matter in the slightest) and I grew up while both of my folks majored, mastered and taught English at the university level. I'm well aware of the pitfalls and the limits of language and the potential for misunderstanding.

This is why is very important to agree to the definitions of terms; a rose by any other name still smells as sweet- but if you call it a pig flower no one will know wtf you're talking about- in which case, communication does NOT happen.

@Pinworm made a very comprehensive video of defoliation, also an excellent example vid of flushing.

wish i could find it, a video is worth a thousand pictures, so 1 million words...

Ok and ya I guess it specifically is only really an industry term and technically all it is is selective pruning. Makes sense

And this is exactly why industry and professional terminology exists; so those in it can agree upon definitions to commonly used concepts.

The MMJ industry has its own jargon, well on the way to doing the same thing. The problem is that the drivers of MMJ industry terms are sellers and distributors of artificially expensive products, incentivizing them to deliberately create confusing terms and bullshit to hide what they're doing. It works well enough to drive serious agriculturalists away, which also works to their advantage.

But now after pinworms video I'm back to confused. I do exactly what he calls his defoliation and everyone agrees that's what he does but not what I do. My plants are just as bare lol only did the half the room but look before and after. Am I missing something here I don't see difference between pinworms video and what I doIMG_20160802_205728188.jpg IMG_20160802_235230674.jpg
