Ok im confused...you advocate defoliation in your last post but blame it for a problem here? :wall: I dont know where you stand on this subject. Ill stick with a happy middle ground as it has worked for me, no extra stuff to buy and feed the plants:blsmoke::weed:
Okay I do defoliate but if I say it's good I have shit loads people jumping down my throat.
So it's best for me to say no to defoliation.
But what I found out if you do defoliate honey works miricale because when you trim the plant grows slower and the photosynthesis gets done by sugar leafs they get pushed out.
That's from what I have seen the plants do every time I defoliate.
A friend told me not to do that and grow a plant differently by not trimming just spreading...
So I done that and I have to say my buds are huge for week 3 on Friday lol
Its a catch 22 but that's how I managed to defoiliate and still keep the plant growing is by using honey.
But if use honey and nutes without defoliation it's a boomer so far

Fuck everyone...do what you wanna do, take in what people share and try it if you want, if it works better go with it...thats why i dont say "dont" do something only that i do it "this" way. Like i said i belive there is a middle line, the bottom stuff i take off and any more then that only if it blocks light to the lower growth....minimal as far as fan leaves at the canopy i guess

Thanks buddy...
but I allways defoliate extremely, so this is my first without defoliation.

And next I am gonna defoliate and see how it goes with this new technique.

I sort of masterd it lol I found a way until I joined here and people don't seem to understand I been doing this for 11 months only and 7 grows halfway thru 8 lol..

Stopped it for grow 8 to shut a guy up. And took good advice

But I know how to grow well while defoliating, but just grow style is different :bigjoint:

Hello Labs dexter, I was reading on how you defoliate and i am giving it a try on two of my plants. Hope all is well and nice thread...

If you use raw honey that's as raw as raw can get then yeah but first give a few watering with honey mate the raw stuff.
That way you will not shock the lady much, or hardly...

But if you don't have something like that sort I would not.

And please do it of your own back not because I said so.

It took me 11 months to be able to that without killing or seeding the plant I will stress her out to bits.
And if you haven't defoliated while in veg she probably will not like it now.
Read and read some more before you start doing anything you have read off me mate

I have read about it. I will wait until I have read more on it though. My plants are doing well I thought I may help them with the flowers. What do you think about stagger harvesting? Any insight on that.
