Anyone a fan of defoliation to increase yeild?

Just introduce some spider mites to your garden, its the organic way to defoliate...

True, and the more you defoliate the more the yield.

True, and the more you defoliate the more the yield.

So Is it safe to say defoilate, and strip away bottom 1/3 of
The plant (lollipop). Gives you a yeald on par with topping?

There HAS to be a grow journal of a side-by-side comparison between clones.....defoliating one and not defoliating the other.....on here somewhere. I mean, this topic has been worn to death and I have yet seen someone do a true comparison.

One was just started here: https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journal-discussion/809749-defoliation-experiment-side-side-sister.html

I take the tires off my car so I can go faster. Weight reduction for the win!

well you are doing it all wrong...you still need tires

True, and the more you defoliate the more the yield.

so UB do you top the plant before taking the cutting so you get 3 tops or more and as the plant was a week in flower, they root quick, this cutting is 9 days old, look how thick and green the main stem is
just done this on a few clones

 

[joe macclennan]

seriously?

you call that a healthy clone???

 

[stickybuds*]

The clone has roots and the main stem is thick and green, so give this clone a week and it will have 3 top shoots

I'm putting together an experiment involving DEFOLIATION! I'd really like all the input I can get. Please start by reading the opening post. This will be a controlled grow with 4 subject plants.

Pull all leaves off. They only get in the way.

Lol, case solved. I believe Ben over your results. Just teasing. But seriously I do

 

[joe macclennan]

I'm thinking about doing a test. I'm gonna pull every leaf off one of my apple trees this spring. Leaving only the flowers ....

wonder how big my apples will get?

 

[Samwell Seed Well]

the fallacy is strong with this group......pulling one leaf must mean all leafs must be pulled super logic for the win

 

[joe macclennan]

ssw gives another great post on how defoliation is somehow good.

it's obvious he is a fan but presents no good evidence as to why????
