Defoliation During Flower...

[gardengardian7]

I never claimed to improve yeild . I was just suggesting another way to get light to buds without trimming

No no no bro i was conversing with you as if i were sitting at your table. Im speaking in general . The word that you delivered was good soil ammendment for the grower. Youre all good bro.

Don't take anything off during flower, this causes stress which in turn hermies a plant or worst case kill your plant. And even in the last couple of weeks it is not wise to cause your plants any stress because they can still go Hermie and all effortwill go into making seeds rather than THC production. But you can bend leafs around and tuck them in so more light gets to the buds... And the reason some people take the piss is because it is considered a golden rule. And something you will learn very fast when reading and learning how to grow weed. But there is many times where some people do not research. And some consider it to be a insult/idiotic that someone even asked in the first place. Usually it is whose to search your question before asking. There is a lot of infomnation out there. So just have a long read up. And if you already have, then polish your skills..... And for everyone else we are here to help and guide people in the right direction, not terrorise them, or how will what we do be passed on, all most people need is a push in the right direction.. We all male mistakes. And mostly all of us it will involve not enough research...

try this on 1 plant 1 week before u pull ur plant defoliate entire plant every leaf sugars included ...it will make ur drying and curing so much faster there is no risk of seed cause of time frame for pull when u subject ur plant to high levels of dryness no leaves low humidity the plant will produce more resin ur buds not only look better they will cure faster as well try it man go on risk it do it u know u wanna

In week 1, i pull all the leaves off, In week 2, I pull all the leaves off, In week 3, I pull all the leaves off, fuck those leaves, piece of shit mother nature, WTF does she know?

Fuck Mother Nature I agree why we grow indoors with fake light with chemicals and a fake environment ....tho if she is hot id fuck her just for that

I thought it was silly that someone has started yet another thread asking about stripping a plant of the only part of the plant that collects energy from light.

We all try to add more light to our rooms in the name of more light to the plant... Why would you remove what collects that light????? Makes no sense at all!!!

At this point all you can do is give it a try. I did it and saw a reduction of growth.

As for the comment about the man made environment and altering what the plant does........

Isn't the goal of an indoor room to mimic the outside environment??? I know a bunch of you are indoors to hide your garden from the public eye, some like me are indoors because of the winter weather but trying to make a plant do something it was not designed to do is counter productive.

I have never heard of a marathon runner chopping toe's off to lighten their feet... Sure you can run without toe's but your performance will suffer!!

And to the ppl who have no input or just wanna be smart shut the fck up .....u wanna see full defoliate bud grow that produce look em up on utube ppl do it and it does work it's a matter of opinion ... Stressing. Plant during flower can increase and speed up bud growth plant flips out and produces more trichinosis to defend its self it's a matter of opinion

At the risk of seeming smart could you please explain to me how a plant produces more Trichinosis to defend itself? Was it the Walrus meat?

Courtesy of Healthline:

Trichinosis is a disease caused by a roundworm that is found in animals that eat meat. Humans can be infected when they eat undercooked pig, horse, bear, fox, and walrus meat.

Sadly you must kill your plants, according to the CDC there is NO CURE and defoliation is NOT a treatment

Treating Trichinosis
Unfortunately, the worm infection in muscle that accompanies trichinosis cannot be cured. Doctors will focus on treating your symptoms. The earlier your treatment begins, the better your prognosis. Doctors will usually prescribe a combination of the following:

• anti-parasitic medication
• steroids to help control inflammation
• pain medication for muscle aches

My apologies to the victims

Defoliation during flower-

my theory is that the plant is geared towards stress in the wild. a plant that is defoliated properly will grow stronger than one that is not, if done in the correct way.

if you take a few leaves every day, or during extremely vigorous growth, twice a day you induce a small amount of stress. only 3-4 leaves at a time.
it induces a stress response in the plant to quickly replenish the plant as quickly as possible. and during the night period will heal itself. do this during a few day period and then give the plant time to recover.
what i usually find is i get no loss in speed in growth and actually seem to get a boost in growth.

doing this in this method allows me to continue this slow defoliation up until about week 3 in flower. during this time i am able to slowly allow every bud site on the plant to get direct sunlight within approx 6” below the canopy.

while i do this slow defoliation i also lollipop the plants into my scrog and have all just cola tops. i keep 2-3 nodes per top.

If you defoliate 20-30 leaves in a sitting you will cause stress and lose out on redistributed energy while the plant rebuilds itself. it will also cause stress to the plant in a non productive way.

a plant that is grown outdoors will always be stronger than an indoors plant. it deals with weather, animals, bugs, high heat, cold temps, etc.
when growing indoors we must induce SOME stress to push the plant to its maximum genetic potential.

Just be reasonable when doing it.
think about how a persons bone heals after it is broken. it is stronger due to the calcium buildup at the break, similar to supercropping. theorhetically we could break every bone in a humans body and create a super skeleton person. now ask yourself, what would cause less stress - breaking all the bones in one sitting? or strategically breaking them during an extended period of time while we control external circumstances?

Most problems people have about growing can be solved by themselves with just using some common sense. imagine how the plant feels for once instead of fully focusing on the end product.

rant over

I just run fucked up timers and light cycles, alternate a over and under watering schedules two or three times a grow feed full strength meaning straight fertilizer don't mix it with any water at all.

Rootballs trimmed in a blender the 3rd day of week 2, day 2 0f week 5, and the last thursday before harvest unless its thanksgiving then do it on friday but yield will suffer. Its best to have no ventilation and temps as high as possible to make them mf's thirsty with no roots and you'll have killer shit and uuuggggeee yields.

Maybe an optional infestation of thrips or mites the last couple weeks for flavor. I like thrips because they have no webs and have more of a nutty flavor compared to spicy ass spider mites.

Please explain the difference between stress and stress for me genius. Your response is as childish as your sorry ass rant is anecdotal evidence and bro science mixed with a lil duh.

a plant that is grown outdoors will always be stronger than an indoors plant. it deals with weather, animals, bugs, high heat, cold temps, etc.
when growing indoors we must induce SOME stress to push the plant to its maximum genetic potential.

Crazy to think of all the idiots spending tons of money trying to make perfect environments only to end up with inferior product. Good thing you came along with your "theories".

think about how a persons bone heals after it is broken. it is stronger due to the calcium buildup at the break, similar to supercropping. theorhetically we could break every bone in a humans body and create a super skeleton person.

Leaves are the vascular system of the plant, that make food, move food, transpiration, respiration, temp control, and CO2 intake. Bones are there for for structure your analogy would've been better using organs.

If you defoliate 20-30 leaves in a sitting you will cause stress and lose out on redistributed energy while the plant rebuilds itself

What if one plant has ten leaves and the other has 100 leaves do these amounts stay the same? Does percentage of actual leaves on the plant, light intensity, or light spectrum make any difference?
How are you measuring these gains in yield and quality with your 4leaf redistributed energy testing?

theorhetically

Theory + rhetoric= theorhetically
Sums up your post brilliantly

You make a post on a 5 year old thread about cutting off leaves/lollipopping for yield and quality then end your rant with
"imagine how the plant feels for once instead of fully focusing on the end product"
and call me a fucking dipshit? Bye bye troll

hey for sure stop replying to posts from 2014. This thread should have died years ago.

 

[KryptoBud]

thos aint dead youre a fool i have iver 50 years growing experience you kokmucnh

The irony
Whats "kokmucnh" a hybrid language you made up after huffin paint. Sounds like a cross between german and fuckin moron.

 

[Budzbuddha]

Thought that was a cereal ...... COCOCRUNCH or some fucking shit.

MUNCH MY KOK

does that make more sense in your feeble little mind?
my kok your mouth?

Yeah not as good as "kokmucnh" or "buckwheat" you must be the cool guy at recess.

Didn't you post under the name trisomy 21 for a while? Its a fitting name you should use it.

MUNCH MY KOK

does that make more sense in your feeble little mind?
my kok your mouth?

Try spelling munch right its only five letters. How would I know what it meant? You have three different versions of the same word in two posts. My captain crunch decoder ring broke trying to make sense of all your gibberish.

What version is the correct one to use to be a cool kid.
kokmunch
kok munch
kokmucnh
I think the irony of your posts elude you.

Hmmm ... a basement dwelling sack sucker fapping to shirtless boy pics .....

Now THAT makes fucking sense ..... Derp
