It makes perfect sense.
Correct, it's just a little more work when it comes to packing a bowl. But, if you dry herb vape, you can stick stems in there and you won't even taste them, because they aren't burning. I personally think letting it go to waste is a waste.
You keep saying all but that’s not what we’re talking about and you know that.
What I'm getting at is there are different degrees of stress. Defoliation is very high stress, super cropping is high stress, light pruning and LST are low stress.
So there’s no quality difference in bottom buds vs top buds?
Everyone here but you is in agreement that defoliation means all leaves.
That makes perfect sense about different degrees of stress. Couldn’t you argue that taking less leaves would be less stress then?
There is a visual difference, and they are more airy, but they are still a great source for THC, CBD, terpines, etc. IMO, they aren't good for smoking, but they are great for dry herb vaping, hash, and edibles.
That’s not true at all. Look at defol picks. Non have all leaves removed. No one has even suggested all leaves on any threads I’ve seen.
Yes, this is what we've all been saying all along. If you have aiflow issues and need to remove some leaves to prevent mold/mildew, then do it. I fyou have leaves that are getting crispy and no longer serve a purpose, then remove them or wait for them to fall off on their own.
That's because a lot of beginners who think they are defoliating don't understand what it actually is.
Looks good and makes sense. Thanks. Mine did good when I left it alone 100%. I’m just curious to see how it does with some light defol.Just look at all those beautiful leaves soaking up the light energy and using it to make big dense cola's. Healthy plants make big buds. I didn't cut a single leaf off this plant and all the bud was dense. It was a big yielder and I credit those big healthy fan leaves for that.
Photosynthesis occurs in the leaves not the flowers.
The best time to defoliate is about week 12
You bring up a point I was going to make. If people have leaves that are getting crispy and are dying then they are overfeeding their plants. But that's another topic entirely.
Jesus! I guess you can't save them all! Good luck with your grows, because you are going to need it if you can't understand how to break down the definition of a word.
Or the plants are getting too close to the lights, or they grew too close to the fans, etc. There are lots of reasons. The reason mine are currently getting some crispy leaves is because I over fed in mid-late flower.
That’s ok honest people that defol are offering advice by PM because they don’t want to argue with you guys. Peace
