look up baby carrots.
its the same principle, its sweeter, more tender, way less weight but high in all the goodies.
its super tech/high end, frankly i don't use this method in any way. but it is a method. again babby carrots, or shade grown coffee..
i chop fan leaves and grow fat heavey nugs.
edit:
i guess more shade grown coffee than baby carrots,

I like tomatoes, all of my posts are about growing, harvesting and drying tomatoes.
Toe-may-toes are good for you.
It is under one leaf, not several stacked over each other, total different thing. A fair amount of light will make it through 1 leaf, several will all but block it.
In nature the light gets under the leaves from different angles. The fan leaves are vital as they store nutrients and are needed in a wild under fertilized soil. Not the case with my indoor pampered plants.

You can take the leaves off the bottom where they aren't getting any light. But should only be done a week before flowering here's an example pic from 2010

As you can see I removed all the lower leaves that didn't receive proper light

But the top leaves were untouched I got 8oz off that plant
i can't believe wtf i started, lol!!!!
I use a defoliation technique. I start in veg once a wk. and go until I flip my lights. check it out. My internodes are stacked by the time i flip my lights and it allows lower growth to shoot up in the scrog.
Toke it up man !
People are ignoring basic indoor light functionality.
Applying the inverse square law to light output as you move farther away from the source, why would you think that removing a leaf closer to the light would produce more growth hitting a leaf further away when the lumens are reduced so much?
Trim up from the bottom not down from the top.
Hey Oshi, Great topic, I've been wondering the same thing lately. I was stumbling one time and found this very interesting article that I think will help expand your mind on how plants actually relate with the sun.

Super smart ass kid man.
well, for the millionth time....i am only removing bottom leafs!!!! do people only care out them selfs? no, im serious! i have stated time and time again that i am only removing lower bottom leafs and i get the same ignorant responses. i can not stand that shit!!! if you are going to post make sense! dont post the same thing everyone else has already posted. lets see how much further this really goes now. its all back and forth garbage at this point.
and BGOOD. thats tight!!! i read Maximum Yield from time to time and there is a little kid in there flexing skills on vegetable and fruits. i shit you not. the dude who got me into growing my own meds started when he was 9. his first grow was on a 50ft yellow school bus. oldschool hippy commune styles. i wish i had never stopped after i started in 97. had i went through the last 15 years growing i wouldn't be asking silly questions about BOTTOM LEAFS BEING REMOVED BECAUSE THEY DONT GET ENOUGH LIGHT!!!!
