Are you through?i really dont get howdebunking myths is uncle bens job or anyones job, he comes back here cause hes addicted to argueing, like hydroburn said if people want to cut there fans leafs off let them and post pics of the outcome dont sit there and call people idiots and shitheads and they dont know nothing about plant biology, that in my eyes is a bully and i cant stand fuckin bully if you dont like def then why come on this thread and talk so much shit on people, i myself def all the time and im happy with the buds i produce, yeah im no fuckin scientist i just knows what works for me so if you dont have nothing nice to say dont say anything at all, pisses me off fucking know it alls, of course i dont know shit about growing cause i didnt go to colleage and i dont have a degree and even if i did i still wouldnt talk down to people no matter how dumb there posts was, i would educated them the best i could and if they didnt want to take in the info oh well there loss i sure wouldnt talk down to them, cracks me up how these people get pats on there back for being rude, just goes to show the world is going to shit
VSP, vertical shoot positioning, is a training method many of us vineyard managers use.These aren't mine their just a few examples that look cool.

Greenhouse growing offers more challenges than out in the field regarding disease and insect pressures. My greenhouse has an 18' peak, 10' columns FWIW."Papa" berry helps out a lot, he is the builder guy. We didn't know they would get so big and that we would need to protect them into frost season. Building a greenhouse over 10 ft. plants was no easy feat. I think we have things dialed in now, if I can just keep the bugs and the mold out.
Pisses ya off, doesn't it.you sure do hang around here a fuck ton for someone that hates RIU and its members so much... like an old crusty mole on your aunt's neck that won't go away.
Looking wonderfulOG Kush looking beautiful. Northern Lights commin' on ... finally. View attachment 3263036View attachment 3263038 Let it rain, the girls are under cover.
I have decided not to pull any more leaves for now. Everything is dry and I went through every branch and they are all tied up so that they are not all mushed together . So, for now, the leaves stay. I will not be defoliating my precious flowering babies.
That is amazing garden. If i had the area and privacy outdoors wow. Love it is it your garden?OG Kush looking beautiful. Northern Lights commin' on ... finally. View attachment 3263036View attachment 3263038 Let it rain, the girls are under cover.

We share the same world. Told my wife I'm gonna hate to give up this farm. I built it from nothing but a hay field to over 60 trees and a veggie garden around a custom built house with all the luxury features, vineyard, niche ag biz, etc. Posted some of my grape clusters a few pages back. What variety of grapes?View attachment 3263095

It is a legal medical grow, I am so lucky to live out in the country, with good neighbors, and big dogs, oh and a full security system.
Ya wanna see my grapes, maybe I'll make some wine.
There is never a time to defoliate a plant unless your psyche drives you to embrace cannabis forum paradigms, hype, and protocol. The only time to defoliate anything is when you have a dieing leaf and which could be subject to disease pressure. You don't really think I'm ignorant about botany and plant processes such that I'd defoliate my peach, apple, olive, pomegranate trees or tomato plants, grapes, etc., do you? I raise tropical fruits, plumerias...same goes for them.I think there is a time to defoliate a plant and a time not too.
The lack of light under the canopy is #1, a fallacy which I explained a page or two back, 2. it's not this often parroted forum "lack of light" that causes your popcorn buds. We, the experienced who hold botanical principles more important than misguided forum paradigms have tried to explain quite often but most refuse to listen. Good luck with your self induced education. You'll learn one way or the other, and that's OK.I think we are all a little set in our way UB. I am still in the testing part and i know in a few years I will look back and say yep he was right. But I must play and learn by trying it. I also must have side by side comparisons. there are allot of bs on this site defoliating is one that can make a diff for some in bud size especially if they have weak lights. I know understand why the bonzi technique is used to keep them short so the whole plant can get the best light. I will have to start playing with that so i dont have to defoliate do too lack of light under the canopy.
Lady Berry nice grapes and happy to see you living the good life.
The roots support the growth up top. The bigger the root system the greater the potential to benefit the growth of the plant. When you only have the end of the branches supporting growth (Because of the extreme pruning) supported by the extensive root system it is like an engine with a blower ready to tear down the stripe. All of the growth has direct support of the root system and the nutrients can only go to these tops. There are no sucker branches to suckle off the main direct flow of food, like a leach sucking off a tit. There is only so much for each branch. Do I need to describe the distance of these branches from the light source or can you figure that out on your own?What's "energy"? Define what exactly you're referring to.
And for the record, there's not much I haven't tried or experimented with regarding cannabis.
Any idea how that extensive root system got there? It wouldn't have been those pesky leaves you are so fond of tearing off would it? Please google "transpiration" and then explain to me how these nutrients get anywhere when you have removed the very part of the plant that "sucks" the nutrients up the "straw". It may also be helpful to google xylem and phloem so that you may have a rudimentary understanding of basic plant biology and physiology.The roots support the growth up top.

Think of it like VSP, vertical shoot positioning and pruning for growth and shaping for flowers that swell to massive size in the "Goldilocks" zone.
On second thought, stick to what your doing uncle ben. No need to debate a master-debator.
