Someone's got to say it...so I will. Please forgive me if this is some satire thread and I don't understand what is going on. But if it's not...I'm wondering what the heck happened here? :confused: If I had a plant that looked like this, I'd toss it and start all over again. I've never seen a plant stripped down so much. I just read an article that plants don't even like being touched in the first place, that it causes them big stress. Now imagine the massive amount of stress this plant has just gone through. The end result isn't going to be anything wonderful. Sorry if I am sounding like a dick, I'm not trying to be. I just don't understand what you've done. I try to not touch my plants at all. I am only trimming first leaves and tiny leaves that get no light way down on the stalk. Plants need their leaves. NEED. Leaves are what the plant uses to make food, and that food goes to the flowers. No leaves means no food for flowers=smaller flowers and tiny yield. You should have left it alone in the top photo. I see nothing wrong there, it looks fine - no need to touch it at that point. The after photo is nothing short of a crisis. Again, if this is satire and the joke is on me...then... well done!

Defoliation triggers generative growth buy increasing carbon gain to fruiting bodies. Homie just went a bit to hard. It will recover.
