189 pages and people are still trying to say it is OK to defoliate!!

o_O :wall:

Freakin awesome!!

Why not chop off all of the branches that way you can grow a Super Cola!!! You know, so it can absorb all of the light and grow the bestest!!!!


I am thinking of installing solar electricity on the house. Following the theory of defoliation I will be removing half of the solar panels and installing the light bulbs and appliances in their place. Cut out the middle man you could say!! They should work twice as good since there is nothing in the way of the sun light! :lol:

I only take a leaf from the stem where a true node has begun to grow (usually 2" minimum stem from the node), if a node hasn't fully developed it's very counter productive to take the leaf as I find the node stalls in growth. The node growth needs a leaf if it's own to continue growing and if it doesn't, and the leaf at that node is taken off, the node will become a runt

If you mean why I haven't done a second heavy pruning session on them now, I'm not sure what I'm doing with the plants. I need to clone them and would like to flower them, but I don't have a space for them yet and theres also 2 regular seed plants in there so if one is male I can't flower the table anyways :( but right now would be the time to defol again and then let them repair, then flower, it would create super strong and vigorous plants

I think your plants look great. I wouldn't touch em again.
