I have done the math obviously you haven'tdo the math, plus a lower and third stage canopy as well that , are also closer to teh light source

It clearly states in the Groweedeasy article not to defoliate plants then flip to 12/12, so I don't get your point as Chuck has clearly not read or understood it?lol@ neo using my words against chuck hahaha ..
You are a foolish young man neo.
we know who needs to read around here
Hey hey someone noticed my idea. I know that this would be way more work but I feel it is the only way to do a true comparison grow. Then you can not say the defol plant is stealing the control plant's growing "mojo". Plus like I said before you could keep the light closer to the defol's since that is clearly a point of contention in this thread. I just do not see how you do not look at an uneven canopy as a variable since you are either going to fry the control trying to keep the light close to the defol'd or the defol'd is gonna stretch and get leggy as hell to catch up with its untouched brethren. Bottom line is only way I see this going well with no cry of foul play is divided growing areas. Will 1 defoliated plant measure up to 1 untouched plant? Probably not is the same room together, they want different things, but same type of environment (light, temp, CO2 if any) then its anybody's game if you ask me.the two lights/rooms idea someone had is not a bad idea to rectify this though.
more nodes(aka bud sites) closer to light source...you think thats bad......atypical multiple main branch plannts...also bad for youI have done the math obviously you haven't
clearlyso I don't get your point
6 cycles a year like clock work and I don't spend extra time pulling leaves off my plants.more nodes(aka bud sites) closer to light source...you think thats bad......atypical multiple main branch plannts...also bad for you
interersting, i think i understand
how many cycles a year do you run if i may ask ?
yep, prune in veg and around two weeks into flower for hid grown plants. eazy peazy the structure of the plants in that last pic is close to what I shoot for.Hey hey someone noticed my idea.

Have not tried defoliating (what I think is defoliating) but I do a fair amount of trimming and can speak to the fact that my plants take off when the roots only have to feed 50 bud sites instead of 100 so I am a fan of pruning in veg and it has its benefits, but it does slow the plant down. This is not everyones goal but fore me I need my plants to take a lil sequester from non stop growth or I would be overrun with foliage lol. Here is a pic of what I trimmed up this weekend, give ya the before and after

*DISCLAIMER* I am not a defoliator but I do like to touch lil plants from time to time....
you should do as told and just go sit in the back tardis!!That's why we're not letting you do the experiments Chuck, you clearly do not understand the technique!! Try reading it again slowly, and take notes this time!!
What if I add one more plant, a second "defoliatus". I will keep one bottom level and one canopy. Don't worry, during the test I will keep even light distribution. If we generate enough interest I will put the room on a live feed throughout the experiment.
Sound good?
Yes I'm new to the forum in comparison to you, your point is?why the fuck would I take pics of an underperforming plant newb?
and btw...i don't post pics.
soooo
This thread is suppose to be about the professor's results, not your butthurt little need for some kind of proof. Just STFU and let's see what happens.Yes I'm new to the forum in comparison to you, your point is?
You talk the talk but don't walk the walk, forums are full of people like you.
Soooo
Why are you even posting in this thread, you don't think it works and that's fine. We understand that is your point of view and you won't provide any information to back your claim. I think you've made your point now so why not go and troll another thread so we can concentrate on having a grown up discussion?
For the record I do not defoliate. This all started because I trim my mother plants. I half the leafs. Then after the topic was brought up I thought, "sure this could be a good experiment and could provide documentation either way". It will be run fair and I will provide all findings and records.Do what you have to professor I've grown for long enough to understand what happens when you defol a plant that heavily.

Light.I only half the leaves on my clones..and this is to prevent wilt. Why would you do it on the mother?
Not trolling, serious question.
