So now you are going to sling insults because you think I don't believe you?

So you run a grow op that uses bottled nutrients and had a tank top uniform in order to work there. Gotcha.

Do they make you swazzzaramma all the leaves too?

i had no issues slinging shit where it sticks

lol, the pet names you Homegrowers use to describe tried and true grower techniques , used for decades if not centuries if not longer

Wait. So commercial growers swazzzaramma your leaves? You leaf strip all your leaves?

Please respond like I'm a ten year old so I can understand your response. I'm seriously asking if this is true.

All three of the commercial grows I grow at defiolate, some might swazzaramma they didnt


I defoilate aggressivly in veg but only I'm weeks 2-3 in flower and before wk5.

Each enviroment will be different, I can only say what I want to do. When you have 300 plants under 10k you have to be dynamic and be ready to change pace.

So it's not a 5yr old issue since 5yr olds can't run a farm.

So you're saying stripping all the leaves off the plants increases the yields, or you do it for another reason?

Well when I was hired , that farm was producing 50 pounds a month and when I left they were producing 160 pounds a month ...who am I to say what did what... that's for you and the Billy boys to moniter in your charts, and worry about

2.5 grams a watt with gavita DEs... idk is that good

I believe it improves overall yield. You obviously believe differently, and that's cool. Also after many years of using RO water, I realized it was silly and my plants are very happy with the tap that they've been getting.

I've soften on my stance over the years. did a 3 tent test with clones 5 or 6 years ago. clones, same lights, same kind of tents, feed, etc. each plant was a step further in terms of defol. 1 was pretty much untouched outside of topping. 2 was what I would consider a moderate defol with topping, 3 was aggressively defol'd and topped. number 2 won the yield contest, but the difference between the 3 was minimal. where the difference stood out was in the morphology of the flowers. 1 and 2 had good colas with a fair amount of secondaries and larf. 3, while coming in slightly behind 1 and 2 in total yield, had better structure and less larf. I like larf though, it's where most of my hash comes from!

Had to lurk all that guacamole / barn door / algae bloom growing and swamp water moat around grow .

Trying to wrap head around 1000 ppm you throw at seedling / germ ….. i would think that is what jumped started the algae.

Guess the plants will just have to die... pray for my business
 
So getting back to main topic ….. when after plant butchering and making swizzle stick plants …. Does one ram a timber spike into stalk for auxins ?

Asking for a friend.
