Looks like they removed a few leaves from the tomato plants in the greenhouse of my local college. Damn professors and their PhD's, what the heck do they know?



BTW, these are grown in bato buckets and produce fruit from October to June.

You're spinning. I grow tomatoes both outdoors and in a greenhouse and the lower ones always get spotty, yellow, and fall off on their own. In a greenhouse insect and disease pressure is always higher than outdoors. I see no defoliation except at ground level.

Nice try.... ;)

I have been following along with this thread for sometime and just wanted to throw in my 37 cents:) I do agree with the science behind the do not defoliate side! It's actually hard to disagree with it!!! However, my mentor has always did a lot of defoliation and I have tried many many ways and defoliation works best for me!! I run aero, and maybe it is because the nutes are so readily available, I have no idea:) starting in the 3rd week of veg and every two weeks after that, I remove the big fan leaves from the main stalk or stalks with the final removal at the beginning of week week 5 in flower! Like I said, I totally agree with the do not remove side but what I do works best for me?????

Thank Dude for your input. But it just goes to prove my point that there is no agreement among defoliators of when and how to defoliate.

I simply don't feel the need nor have the energy to readdress an issue I've already covered in depth just a few pages back for someone too lazy to look.

I covered all of the benefits of "increased air circulation".

If you're too lazy to actually reply, you could have just quoted this line

Or are you just deflecting a post you don't have a retort for?

And said "yes, that's what I'm doing".

Post your BS methods in the noob section where it belongs and my guess is you will never be bothered again by the Amish Mafia...

You have been growing for only 3 years yet have seen it work dozens of times. You are a flat out liar. Not the first trap you have caught yourself in. And I prefer a nice big yield over a few big buds.

LOL your dumb and obviously ran out of things to say. You guys are so busy trying to catch someone in a lie you don't even stop to think how stupid you sound doing it. I know people that harvest a pound every 2 weeks, people that harvest 8 times a year, seen outdoor grows and setups bigger than you could imagine. I've grown on my own for 3 years, but have friends and family that have done it since hippy times. I've got family that has grown a single bug that weighed more than any indoor plant you have ever grown all together. Stop trying to shoot me down alex. I saw your ghetto setup and your nice plants, but still, you are stuck on a plateau of growing performance, Maybe if you improved a little you could reach the next level and stop trying to jump on every minor detail and learn something.

There is such thing as a bad blow job. This chick once put my D between her hands and was rubbing it like she was trying to start a fire with a stick in the woods so damn fast i thought my shit was gonna burst into flames, then she was biting on my shit like it was some beef jerky. That shit hurt and did not feel good at all.

Two ways to look at it. either 'Its all good, some are just better than Others' or ' The worst I ever had was next to Wonderful'. Take your pick...both of these though usually produce the same yield.

It's funny to me that last time I posted this pic, you told me to tell them to "stop the lollipop drills". Your retorts are really all across the board aren't they? The only commonality in your posts seems to be that of negativity.

I'm thinking that someday you'll actually bring something useful forth to the conversation instead of your negativity spam syndrome.
