I never said it was a clone. I know it's not an exact copy. It's purely for the purpose of continuing the strains seed so I can continue to grow it. The pheno stability of the seed is reliant on how stable the strain from the breeder was to begin with.

This cosmic bomb auto came in just a touch over 15 ounces. First I harvested all the tops which is what you see hanging, 8 ounces there. Then I let gave the colas sitting below another week to ripen and got another 6 bags. Then I left the real low hanging stuff for another week and that weighed another about 1.5. Bottom stuff wasn't the greatest smoke but made some Killa brownies

I disagree, thats art. Thats interference and control with success at a level that I have yet to see

I'm curious, because your point is taken for some plants/trees?
Do you just let your vine tomatoes grow wild, or do you prune the suckers?
While no one would remove all of the fan leaves off a cannabis plant unless they wanted to stunt/kill it, selective pruning is viable and works.

You brought up the defoliation topic lmao. Went about as expected. If you use the word flushing in a thread topic you'll see similar results.

I think most people have finally came to a consensus on that, that flushing to "remove nutes" at the end is bro science.
But occasionally flushing to remove salt build up during flower, or if you have signs of lockout, that's good.
Important not to confuse those, I wish there was a different term.

Hi. sorry I only just seen this. scrog and any sort of training including cutting is not required (except when i top in veg) for my purpose. It might be ok for what they want but I don't grow like that and i'm in no position to comment. I certainly trim the tomatoes because they never know when to stop growing when they are fruiting. I was making the analogy because I don't like to see fan leaves being chopped in the belief that would benefit a bud site because its in the way. I used to do that because I was told you should but I have seen it does more overall harm to the plant than just leaving it.
