Lol that's the "personal" medical grow I need! Might finally last me a monthNone of the growers that I know pull green leaves. Pull the yellow leaves all day, but leave the green ones to do their job. They are your plants storehouse...

So which one are you going to defoliate?
How many of them are dealing with overlapping leaves and standing water in an indoor environment scenario? How do they mitigate against this?None of the growers that I know pull green leaves.

Wow that's an oxymoron. So your saying that by removing the very thing that produces energy for the plant, that you now have more energy going to the flowers...SMH. You do understand that these leaves your stripping are NOT using anywhere near the energy they produce for the plant and your buds. If the plant has No use for leaves that aren't producing (not catching light) it will cut them loose on it's own it doesn't need an ill informed noob doing it for them. Stripping sucker branches is logical because they only draw from the plant and don't give much back. Use some logic and reasoning before you apply this stoner Pseudo science and I'm willing to bet your a Supercropper as well.
What do you mean arguing it all makes perfect sense.Lol after all these mixed answers among all the arguing
I only read the first 2 pages of this thread by my advice to the OP would be to ignore everyone and do your own test. Dunning-Kruger is running rife here. Lots of big mouths and small brains.
It is pretty simple. Do a run where you dont defoliate at all, then do a run where you defoliate hard around Day 20 then again around day 40. You will soon see which yields higher and which yields less larf.
It doesn't grow back more leaves... we've been over this. The same leaves that WILL grow whether you strip are not are going to grow once the f[QUOT
When I talk about defoliating im not saying remove every single leaf and strip the plant completely. Use your head and remove leaves arent doing anything significantly
When I talk about leaf strip, I am talking about removing every leaf that has a stem at some few mm in length. You might lose some quantifiable yield but without #s from actual observations this conversation isn't much of interestDefoliating increases yeilds. You'll have fatter denser buds
The plant won't magically create new leaves it otherwise couldn't have had you not removed the leaves with stems. It grows as normal as it would without the leaves you took, it does appear to grow new leaves but these leaves would have grown anyways.

Beautiful trees![]()
I hope I'm not coming off as flinging mud at JJ cause I'm not I have mad respect for em while also completely empathize with this line of thinking.0 he doesnt know any indoor growers. If I had the sun shining and the wind blowing in my basement I wouldnt pick a leaf either
indoor?....you're trying to grow pot indoors?....How many of them are dealing with overlapping leaves and standing water in an indoor environment scenario? How do they mitigate against this?

My entire grow(s) could fit in that ft²
