I guarantee you aren't going to pull that kind of weight off of every strain simply by defoliating.

I know, the delusional twins want some Pollyana nerd to believe their gardens' outcome is ONLY due to their acts of defoliating, a practice that no botanist would condone, an act that a bunch of dupes can't agree on in terms of amount, timing, etc. It's fuckin' hilarious!

It's like saying organic vitamins are more effective than synthetic, or RO water is better than rainwater......!

Change gears....how do some of you guys get a full page photo to show rather than a thumbnail? I've tried "everything".

Do you people think the first person that told people to cut the tops off their plants didn't get laughed at like the guy who said breaks your stems the suppercropping debate is just getting started on here just like this thread people demanding proof side by sides do your own you won't know untill you do.

The difference is there is actual science and logical reasoning behind those practices. How a plant redistributes its auxoims causing a positive result. Here we have, at best, remove leaves to let light shine on lower bud sites. There is really no debate there. There is no plant mechanism that we can point to here.

Peace! (one sativa cola of 4 main colas)

BB, here's one of those outdoor rootballs in which I sunk the 5 gal. pot into a 3" deep hole. That's what you call an efficient fibrous rootball, which grew into native soil thru the drainholes. Easy peasy......

Show me the studies or side by side's my side by side still after weeks of being topped they aren't nearly as big as the defoliated or natural not much more branch lenght either considering they are the only points of growth.

Still can't get it and tried different ways including using different browsers. For starts, no image shows up during the EDIT function, only script. Even this didn't work, still gave me a thumbnail. (Changed it so the thumbnail doesn't reload again, just the script.



Oh well.

Leave them alone and you get 4 ft plants in 8 weeks from seed. Sorry BB but you lucky bucket cola aint going to cut it against this beauty. And BJ, um I mean PJ maybe its time you actually grow something other than a hard on for Clay Akin....

Do those kind of comments somehow make you feel better about yourself? What a sad existence.

Looks like a nice bud, looks like the plant was pushed over at some point. And the buds started growing up towards the light.

Beyond that, I think, that you can take leaf off if your far enough into flowering, and you have the right strain.

I don't think you will get much better yield, you prolly will have trouble matching it actually.

Taking all the leaf off, was an old outdoor growers trick supposedly. That if you took all the outer leaf off, the plant would survive lower temps better, during the end of flowering.

I don't see much use for the practice over all...

In the quick reply screen I upload the image. Then placed cursor over the small pic and double tapped my touchpad(laptop so no mouse) and an edit box will appear. I select the center box for placement and the large box for size and post. I am using Google Chrome if they makes any difference.


Same strain as the 4 foot plant. Grown under same light and circumstances. Quite a bit shorter huh? Genetics have more too do with growing then most give it credit. And you certainly cannot over ride genetics by raping your plant like of few would love for you too believe.
