jizz on itI already did that. Anything else you like to suggest?
Or, the geniuses here already did that?
You alright Luke, no hard feeling here. It's very entertaining to watch the behaviors of people of this forum. We might as well turn this thread into a circus.Their just trying to help.
Every week someone posts a defoliating thread.....Anyone who has a plant education, tertiary or self taught, knows that there is stoner myths and botany science.
It would get fatter if I do that!jizz on it
in my country the reply would beAlright geniuses and Kings...
I'll post a pic this weekend that way you guys can throw more dirt at my experiment
Exposing more bud sites isn't going to increase yield. The buds themselves don't require light the same as an apple or an orange doesn't require light. Buds are only the reproductive organs for the plant. It's the leaves that produce the energy responsible for their growth not light. Photosynthesis, c02/02 exchange, respiration and transpiration are all functions of leaves.Is it not effective to remove some some leaves (pruning?) My canopy gets out of control, I find removing leaves helps with humidity/circulation, I only remove fan leaves that are touching or blocking light into the canopy. Now it seems i have more bud sites. Am i harming yields, eg exposing more sites, but not getting as much growth?
I knew it wasn't going to increase yields, was asking the opposite, if I'm removing some larger fans am I decreasing yields? just though more penetration into the canopy onto the leaves that weren't getting so much light would make up for the ones that were removed. Like I say, i don't defoliate, just prune enough to keep the canopy in check and stop leaves overlapping. Would you recommend just leaving them alone? Im midway through flowering on my 1st grow. I supercropped these for an even canopyExposing more bud sites isn't going to increase yield. The buds themselves don't require light the same as an apple or an orange doesn't require light.

The bottom buds will always be smaller than tops, hormones produced it the growth tips of apical dominant plants control the growth of the buds and branches below it. It's why and how topping works.
I started this thread to have an intelligent discussion about defoliation. But instead I get some assholes telling me not to come back? I get to be called full of shit?so for your ignorance on web manners
Thanks for the info, well appreciatedIf you're concerned about mold/air flow,removing a few leaves isn't going to hurt anything. I think less is more when it comes to removing leaves.
If they aren't useful to the plant they'll yellow and fall off. The intensity of light falls off fast indoors so removing leaves on top for leaves further from the light source can be counter productive.
You make a troll thread "in the mood to abuse my plant" cut off every leave and ask "is it bad of me?" Why would you call it abuse? When is abuse of anything beneficial, genius?I started this thread to have an intelligent discussion about defoliation. But instead I get some assholes telling me not to come back? I get to be called full of shit?
So tell me because it seems to me you just promoted yourself to web etiquette police. Did I attack anybody when I started this thread? Did I claimed that this is gonna work?
What did I do that I deserved to be attack? Are those insults inline with the topic of this thread?
Or maybe you're just turning a blind eye to the behaviors of your buddies or you're such a kiss ass to this people that its okay for them to insult.
Now that I'm responding in kind is not okay for me to do so?
Wtf...go read the whole thread again and see who started throwing shit.
I have no intention to fight, I have enough of that shit everyday face to face. I come here to chill and SHARE what I'm doing regardless whether it's wrong or right.
I have no intention to offend anybody, just dont push because I do know how to push back.
I have the whole intention to share my thoughts and my methodology, the real science behind it that influence my decision to try this approach. I didnt do this on a whim, I've planned it and executed it. But after this shit...why would I share? You geniuses...is not worth my time.
Would it work? I honestly dont know.
THAT'S WHY ITS CALLED AN EXPERIMENT.
but have it your way, I'll just post the week after comparison picture this weekend, all I can say.
Have you ever learned to read? I guess you have a reading comprehension issue as well.You make a troll thread "in the mood to abuse my plant" cut off every leave and ask "is it bad of me?" Why would you call it abuse? When is abuse of anything beneficial, genius?
With all my years in Agriculture....I have yet to read a textbook, publications, journals, thesis, research or scribbles in the toilet wall that describes plant leaves as solar panel. Only in cannabis culture. Just because a person coined that phrase suddenly everybody is parroting the Solar Panel shit......Get over it....it's old and worthless.When people answered your question you respond with solar panels excuse is old.
See aboveWhen other leaf functions were mentioned, you already knew about all of them.
Dude, I've never been entertained so much that it's hard not to cry.dry your tears and get over it.
winner winner ..chicken dinner!You make a troll thread "in the mood to abuse my plant" cut off every leave and ask "is it bad of me?" Why would you call it abuse? When is abuse of anything beneficial, genius?
When people answered your question you respond with solar panels excuse is old.
When other leaf functions were mentioned, you already knew about all of them. Then expect people to tell you why it doesn't work. If you know it all already what's the point of the thread? Take all the scholarly articles you speak of, dry your tears and get over it.
It is obvious from your comments that you have zero experience in agriculture.Have you ever learned to read? I guess you have a reading comprehension issue as well.

Do you even have a clue how photosynthesis really work, Genius?
See above
Dude, I've never been entertained so much that it's hard not to cry.
Everything in that post is a direct quote of yours. Read your first post troll.Have you ever learned to read? I guess you have a reading comprehension issue as well.
I guess not. Why don't you explain it? With all your years in agriculture you were taught that cutting all your leaves off during flower was a good idea? Did they teach you about male buds too? You really should let it go all you're doing is making a fool of yourself.With all my years in Agriculture....I have yet to read a textbook, publications, journals, thesis, research or scribbles in the toilet wall that describes plant leaves as solar panel.

How's your reading comprehension? The only mention of solar panels I made was in response to YOU calling them solar panels. Not only are you cry baby, but a moron too.
Do you even have a clue how photosynthesis really work, Genius?
You call every one here genius sarcastically as an insult.Alright geniuses and Kings...
