So how do I know if I'm over defoliating ... Can defoliating cause hermaphroditism

THis is assuming fast vigorous growth using co2

then the opposite would be true: you'd want more leaves to uptake even more CO2

There are other studies which indicate that they also get higher quality cotton fibers from the process and larger blooms. One can imagine that similar things may happen with Cannabis.

The budsites need direct light. Not the leaves.

seriously ?


leaves:
Its main functions are photosynthesis and gas exchange. A leaf is often flat, so it absorbs the most light, and thin, so that the sunlight can get to the chloroplasts in the cells. Most leaves have stomata, which open and close. They regulate carbon dioxide, oxygen, and water vapour exchange with the atmosphere.

Flowers (budsites):
The primary purpose of a flower is reproduction. Since the flowers are the reproductive organs of plant, they mediate the joining of the sperm, contained within pollen, to the ovules — contained in the ovary. Pollination is the movement of pollen from the anthers to the stigma.
