There there buddy. It must be that time of the month again when you and your pals get cranky from being proved wrong. I totally understand so I picked these up for your vaginas. It's the heavy flow kind.

Hope you feel better! I'll be back in 4-7 days after you're all done menstruating and can try to figure out how to prove me wrong and learn how to read, because you have things backwards and tagged the wrong person. The only lack in intellect and intelligence is from you and your crew. The lack of you're understanding is rather pitiful and the answers I have got from you all are, well.. not answers at all. Memes, "I think mylar will help", and dumb posts about NOTHING at all that has to do with the case at hand. Oh, and then more dumb posts like yours that just make you look even less knowledgeable. Nursery rhymes don't cut it. Lumens are for humans? Lol, well duh. If there is 0 lux, there is 0 par. Using lux to know light intensity for a bulb that is specifically made to grow plants, is well a good thing! Par, hmm, doesn't matter! It's about light spectrum, only. Maybe nitpicking is your science, because that is all I have got from you, not a single source of reputable information.
Talking about defoliating is talking about light penetration.
I agree with you that Mylar doesn't work with fluorescent lights , Mylar in my opinion only work proper with HPS and MH lights, people usually wear sunglasses when they work in this type of setups with several HPS and MH lights (600 or 1000 Watts) , if you grow Cannabis with fluorescent lights CFL, etc, don't even mind to install Mylar because it won't work.
Then in a case with low power lights, short ceilings, and small grow areas (tents, corners in rooms, etc), Mylar obviously won't work, so in this case pulling off some leaves or cutting some low branches may be beneficial and even mandatory, but as far as a know these are classical and accepted "training" methods.
AlphaPhase I don't know how is your set-up, but your training techniques are suitable for small grow ops like tents.
If you have a set-up with 1000 Watts HPS and MH lights Mylar is mandatory.
Mylar doesn't diffuse the light indeed it focuses the light after reflecting it, here 1 tip I realized by Myself, Mylar is so good at reflecting high intensity lights that is very good not to install the Mylar very tense and let it "dance" with the wind, this is a way to distribute the lights all over the plant's leaves even the lower and deeper leaves, if Mylar reflected light doesn't reach some very low branches and leaves you can take them out.
When your set-up start growing in size and Wattage usually you'll realize that every method that take out work from your hands is a heaven's gift.
Defoliating and lollipopping can be good for a tent set-up with CFL or 250watt HPS, I mean set-ups for kids.
Men use 600 or 1000 watt HPS or MH lights son they dont wanna hear shit bout "extra unnecessary non proven maybe detrimental work".
Men think "if my plants doesn't yield ok and I know is a light issue I don't need lollipopping or defoliating I just need more powerful lights".
Gangstas in Spain use the SOG method, this is a proven growing method to speed things up. They easily plant hundreds of plants and get a fast and uniform carpet of buds. In Spain in the worst case there is no way to persuade a judge in court that SOG type of grow-op is medical. And don't even bother to talk to this gangstas about "defoliating or lollipopping or scrogging" this techniques are for kid grow-ops.
but the guy did practically just move into his current place, tweaking shit as he is going/growing. Gotta do what ya gotta do.
I currently have more than 20 lights. I gaurantee you the only lights I have in tents are for veg.
