Take me with you bro!!! Man I miss Alaska like crazy. But it would be criminal to miss summer there.
I should post a picture of what my place looks like now. 3 storms in 2 weeks. One right after the other featuring sleet and freezing rain. In late December. In Interior Alaska. Insane weather. They had to close the Parks Highway between Nenana and Healy the other night. 1-1/4" of ice. Just sheer ice. Second La Niña winter in a row.

@potpimp I'm thinking of buying a bus and just RVing it from now on. A decent one with one of the newer Allison transmissions. Take my time coming up for the season and getting the hell out after PFD goes out. Use that to travel on. Like going through BC into Washington near Cashmere best but BC to Alberta and down to MT works too. MT going legal sales 1 January!

It's not something I practice but I've experimented with it on a minor scale.

I put this in as an alternative to lighting up the floor so it was fair game for experimental.

The difference in stretch is quite remarkable but it doesn't yield the same in my limited experience with defoliation.

The Schwazz from above!!!
I just leave them out and wait for hail to destroy them…
And a massive tree took out the mrs’s car my pickup and smashed the house roof.
Don’t you just love a 35 degree summer storm!!!:cry:

Looks like it just stresses the plant the fuck out. A good way to extend grow time, lower quality, and give less leeway when you make a growing mistake.

But you do you!

I'm trying my best to slow down the growth.

It barely missed a beat after defoliatin, I'm about to take clones or I absolutely would defoliate it again..

Fk me I can't believe I said that... Please note!
I'm aiming to slow growth by defoliating.

This was it on the 9th after being cut back and re vegging.

It would be through the roof by now without some intervention so yes defoliating has a place in my book.

How old is your plant? Looks like it bounced back from some abuse. Hopefully the other one did also.

Eliciting an atypical hormone response never slows them down... leave all those unneeded leaves and branches and nodes for the plant to use up energy to support, that will slow it down, then just prune them well 10 days before flower

They are in my journal. where i post all my photos.... def a meds off day

ill save you a click or 2, you will still be confused (becuase algea)
its week 2, little bit of nutrient issues, but trudging along nicely
I meant were are all the previous flower room pics? I don't think I've seen any/recent full flower pics?

Yes I get it. You think I need medication. Continuing to say the same thing over and over doesn't make it true.
