The back and forth on this subject is just bullshit and trolling. Do you two fight when you get in bed with each other for the night too? I bet you do... haha.

Can't you just feel the love he has to come here to spew the same nonce he has in the other defoliation threads.

If you looked at the pictures I uploaded on the other thread you can see the branches came out and were defoliated again so the nodes on the branches came out more I repeated this five times before I let them leaf out before flower.

Buddy got some kind of imagination on him lol

I got a girl bro :joint:

Edit*

And for the record I've been following the defoliation topic for a while. Not one particular internet persona. I've seem some of his results and have been impressed.
He does what he does and it work. He might even find out something that hasn't been found out yet...you never know....

And they say stop experimenting bcuz the leaves are this and that...
WHYYYY?
 
I then had lots of branches and leaves and should have defoliated once more before flower or flipped them sooner or made a bigger shield.

If I had defoliated before flower I believe I would have a more dense top but you do have to let them leafout and stretch they need the leaf don't get me wrong this isn't about keeping the leaves off all the time they need leaves.

This isn't a lot different then topping you top they grow a couple of weeks you do it again the idea is the same but you keep your cola with defoliation and can even keep it at the same height as the other branches by defoliating just the tops of the highest branches forcing the brances at the top out and reduce upward growth.

So are you saying that you only defoliate during veg? None during flower?

You're going to have to use English or Spanish if you want me to respond to that reply. I have no idea what you are trying to say.
If English is a second language, apologies. If that's the case we might do better in your language.. haha.
 
I defoliated twice in flower after stretch then 3 or so weeks before chop just big leaves and do it over a couple of days and don't feed for a couple of days.

I edited it. Maybe clearing up the few typos makes it look a little more like English to you?

I got you. I am too late to defol in veg but I will try that in flower on half the garden.

I just finished 4 grow journals otherwise I would do a thread too. I'm burnt out on posting, taking pictures, etc.

Anyway, sub'd.
 
I thought I'll repost this showing my plants at different stages

My luck is awesome I got stuck with a gallon of heavy crap garden soil, purple stems till I transplanted, vegged with custom cfls and a 400 watt hps defoliated many times to make some dense dank.

The cfls are great for veg my custon made batwing hood is original as is my flowering vertical shield and my own home made organics along with my years of experience made me so lucky.

Just watch what I do instead of just reading about something try it you might get as luck as me if you pay attention.

I know you like to see my skinny defoliated ladies.

Well. I couldn't get myself to do it to 6 of my 12 plants... but I did it to 2 of them. My garden has "sweet spots" and not so sweet spots... I took the 3 largest upper to middle fan leaves off of 1 plant in a sweet spot and 1 plant in a not so sweet spot. After removing the 3 leaves the lower growth is all exposed to the light.

I know it is not your method, but I'm going to try it out.

I had a friend show me defoliation years ago but I didn't believe him but after seeing it for myself. I did it when things got to thick but nothing set in stone.

I'm investigating the best times for flower in veg it's easy, just do it till you like the structure then let it releaf and flower.
Two good growers from another site do it one at flip the other two weeks in, most do it at 21 days and 45 days like I have done, one guy says wait till the 5th week so their are things to test this will be the first of many for me.

For your garden if your going to do half I'd do some at different times and amounts to see what works best for yield and larf reduction keep them in groups of two or three or more it sounds like you run some numbers then you can weight and judge the best times/amounts you can post them here if you don't want another journal. It took me until my plants are near done to load all the photos I took.

I'll start the defoliation tomorrow the two burnt ones one is fine just burn the top the other I topped to keep them even but it's stalk got burnt bad hopefully it's like suppercropping and will recover strong

Like I just mentioned there are many ways to skin a plant lol we will figure out what works best because I know you don't get bud without light but you still need some leaves.

Throw a pic up if you get a chance(just when you think your out they bring back in)LOL

Buds do not need light to produce. For the 10th time, they are not capable of photosynthesis, at least to any definable degree that induces cell division/elongation whether it be stem, root, leaf, or flower tissue.

I have some pics of my purple wreck mom and different aurora mom both i defoliate heavily throughout there life seeing as there mom's but you can see the growth difference anyway. No matter what its just someone's opinion so those who do may or may not see a benefit and same for those who don't. I lean towards it benefiting the plant and your grow.

The new leaves grow in so quick you don't even notice you cut anything off besides the fact that everything now is a potential bud site and not just a huge fan leaf.
 
I have a 300w led in that tent so lighting is pretty much purple and not so good for pics. If I have to I can sneak in there later. Think it should suffice to show the foliage growth anyway.

I'm glad you stopped by to tell us about the magical bud that doesn't need light to grow these have been in poor light for more then 2 months.
I wish I had your magic bud that grows in the dark but mine don't you might have seen these pictures before but your memory seems to slip.


  • All the leaves and bud aren't getting any light underneath but Ben says they don't need it light goes right thru leaf what do you think?










    I'm going to get rid of that big pile of bud blocking light to my stems and leaves because they are the best.
