Dude I haven't even done this procedure, but saw that if all leaves fall off, the plant becomes more bushy, compact and has double the leaves grown back.
So I contradicted those who said it will die and it's a big mistake.
Also, I don't think he would come up here after a failed attempt and post fake testimonial of this procedure's outcomes.
PS: He also didn't tell you to use this method from now on or you die, you still act like he did.

Are they harvesting or defoliating?

just looked at your grow diary and wow you plants look amazing and I like the fact you also remove unwanted nodes as it draws energy that could be used to grow larger buds
but would you agree having a level canopy in flower could increase your yield further ?
that's what I do by cutting and removing fan leaves, all the shoots have got equal amounts of light/air so non of the shoots need to stretch
if I think there too many shoots I cut a few out, just like I have done on my scrog, so I get good size cola's, lots of them all about the same size

They are defoliating, they only take the freshly grown shoot tips. They defoliate the plants 3-4 times a year to get the tips to make tea. I think the flowers in the foreground of the picture might have given you the wrong idea?
I am surprised to hear a graduate rubbish an idea and then claim that he has never even tried it, or is ever likely to! Is that what they teach you at University these days?
I do conclude with you though that if you never try it then it won't actually work, so now your idea has been peer reviewed you can publish it as fact.
No wonder we have 'global 'warming'!! lol

That's way too much defoliation.Never remove more than 30% at any one time!
Proper defoliation is done about 2 weeks before flipping to 12/12 and you should only remove a little at a time over the course of two weeks.
Don't defoliate again until the initial stretch in flowering is done,and again,only a little at a time over the course of two weeks.
Small plants don't really benefit from defoliation,but bigger and broader/wider plants do as in veg it opens up the inner parts of the plants to more light,thus creating more bud/flower sites.
Defoliation is a good thing IF DONE PROPERLY!

That's only 1 way of doing it...
See me? I didn't call you a dumbass for your method of defolication. (not saying you did, but you can see what argument this thread has going on
)BTW if he gets more from his plant this way -may it be height control-, you can't say it isn't done properly...

This thread is entertaining...hmmm. At one point in time everybody believed the earth was flat and if you sailed far enough you would fall off the edge. A few intelligent people proved that to be false. Oh...heres another good one a little more recent. Those Wright brothers..fucking idiots think they can fly. I can add a few more but whats the point, sheep will be sheep.
