My theory on lumens to matter ratio. (just random thinking. i have little information to grow upon)
The amount of lumens projected towards the amount of matter you have to create photosynthesis.
A plant with zero leaves will create no photosynthesis.
when you trim off matter, you are able to targer flowering sites for growth.
but what is the maximum amount of leaves you can trim off without hindering the growth of the plant?
what is the minimum amount of leaves a plant can have to target growth in only the flowers AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE?
im trying to find out how much i can remove without killing the plant to get literally the max bud.
PUSH THE LITTLE LADY AS MUCH AS SHE CAN GO WITHOUT HER BODY PARTS!
we know we can target, but hwo much can we push it people?
I want to create a stable hypothesis on this.

the other experiment might intrigue you.

You started speaking of PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation). PAR is the light wavelength range that is best fit for photosynthesis to occur, but...

I think you're investing in voodoo with the spirit fingers. It's ok, I talk to my plants all the time....and sometimes I convince myself it helps.

The basic practice in cash crop farming is to build the roots as big as possible before flowering. By cutting off most of the top growth in veg, you're hindering root growth. Thats not to say it wont get big roots, but your throwing off the growth balance and it will be slower. Basically, it will take longer for the roots to play catchup .

Once in flower, you want the top growth to explode. I find with all fruiting vegetation, stressing it right before flower, it will yeild more. Same with trees and bushes alike. Cannabis is not any different. I often trim back quite a bit as I transition to flower. This also works as a lawnmower effect to level the canopy for even light penitration.

I don't see any benefits from cutting the fan leaves off for that purpose, unless selectively pruning for light penitration or nicrosis. There's a reason mother nature grows the way it does. Furthermore, with indoor cultivation of cannabis, man has been replicating mother nature on growing cannabis in the mainstream for ~60 years. Unless technologically limited, anything that can be manipulated, has been manipulated, but good luck on your thesis.

I dont think its relevant but you said

"A plant with no leaves creates no photosynthesis"

The stems and stalks create photosynthesis, as does anything else thats green on a plant.

Cutting leaves is not a great idea overall...

or be wasting time with yourself or us..? to my blog on the deleaf syndrome

What you have posted doesn't answer the question because the author himself clearly does not know the answer which is what OP's original experiment targets in his hypothesis, aka, what exactly is the point of "no-return," with deleafing? Because as the author says himself, "shade-leaf removal does allow for more light to the center...but f there is not enough food available," but indoors, force-feeding, that factor can be eliminated. I have however posted studies from other crops such as tomatoes and wine and de-leafing but marihuana pseudo-scientists with mostly ANECTDOTAL evidence rule
