Have you heard of Dr Allison Justice? Read her paper on hard pruning, she too assumed what you do then she actually did a controlled experiment and found that shaded leaves use more energy than they generate from photosynthesis. Not to mention stiffle air flow.Man, you just said it yourself, I put it in red.
How do you know what amount of leaves are required for "good photosynthesis." Since you're new, I'll tell you, ALL of them!
Also, the leaves are what need the light, more than the bud sites! The plant put those leaves there to absorb the light, to provide energy for the buds to grow. Less energy, less buds.
I wonder how dark the level of shade has to be in order to make the flip between net producing more or net consuming more.Have you heard of Dr Allison Justice?

Its also common practice for fruit growers to prune nodes and redirect the trees energy to remaining sites leading to larger sweeter fruits.
A large scale grower I know personally hard prunes twice, once after flip and then again a couple weeks later. He yields over 3 a light with strains like Meatbreath and like the other poster said no larf. I do the same now and the better air flow, lack of mold and lack of larf are good enough reasons for me.
Thank you for the advice I’ll admit I’ve always been one to jump the gun too.All your plants look beautiful but need another week or so imo. Lots of white pistils still.
They look great. Just a little bit more time to swell and finish. The smoke will reward you.Thank you for the advice I’ll admit I’ve always been one to jump the gun too.
I will definitely hold out as long as possible.They look great. Just a little bit more time to swell and finish. The smoke will reward you.
Thanks. Yeah 2 weeks since flip give or take 2 days. 440w cob/qb. I like a 3k spectrum personally. Gives better buds in my experience.2 weeks? That's a nice level of development for that time. Looks closer to 3.
If you were referring to me I will post pics through harvest. Cheers.I’m waiting to see your tamahawk finish that’s one of the only regulars I haven’t got yet that’s been released recently. Stacking up nice
Lots of quality led's these days.I wish I found out about the cobs in time this is my first run with led since ufos which the ufos were a waste in my opinion.

Damn that's some fast development, might be one to hang on to. Be interesting to see the finishing time on that one.
Unfortunately I didn't take any clones. Have too many packs I need to run anyways. The plants were sexually mature at flip so that helps speed up flowering a bit.Damn that's some fast development, might be one to hang on to. Be interesting to see the finishing time on that one.
I cut one down the other day. Herm'd bad on me. It looked super healthy and not stressed. I'll have to check for light leaks. My tents are covered in gorilla tape, lol. My first hermie from Heisen out of 6 or 7 plants. He did say the adub isn't the most stableTook down half my gmoozy today, been a while since I ran her but daaam, this is some potent looking stuff...
