This thread is about defoliation. A technique where folks remove leaves in effort to increase light to the bud sites with the thinking that buds grow buds. Anyone with half a brain knows that's nonsense. You're talking about lower branch pruning and the removal of some lower leaves. Regardless of your reason to do this to your plants in your grow room (lack of light due to poor grow room setup, IPM, over crowding, etc.), that is not what this thread is about.

You might be better off looking for an argument in a 'Pruning for bag appeal in an overcrowded grow room' thread.

Lol, that one's new, pruning for bag appeal lolol. I think I've made all of the points here I needed to relay.

I shall move on back to my bunker 8-)

Thank god. Thanks to you and UB for actually bothering to wade through this cesspool of utter nonsense.

He vegges plants in a wood-paneled rec room and flowers them in a room with beige paint on the walls (instead of a more reflective paint or material). His flowers look great but I think he's settled into techniques specific to the shortcomings of his setup which don't pertain to this thread.

^^ lmfao hb. I said I don't own the house. And adding reflective stuff on the walls isn't going to help much if at all imo. Larger grow ops use NO walls! Jesus, if reflection was THAT big of a deal, I'd be pulling 5lbs a light hahaha. And large warehouse grows would add reflective walls around each light in a 4x4 area into little cubicles. Come on now. I can veg plants way bigger /faster than most people I know that use reflective surfaces, the veg pic was 4 weeks. I actually have less growth using grow tents, reflection is a miniscule thing to worry about. Direct light is what matters. If I added reflection, there would be no difference, I'm sorry to say. My veg room is not by the walls, the trays are set up so that I can walk around them. Explain to me how adding reflection with the trays 1' from the wall using t5 lights would help? Not everyone sets there trays up Snug against the wall, I mean I'd hate that. Reflective walls will not change anything if you're a good grower, 1%, difference... maybe..... But not really.

I have to veg these og type plants for a long time, mainly because of how many times I have to pinch/top them. They are pretty big plants in the end because of this. If I didn't clean up the bottoms(lollipop i guess) I would have allot of crap in the dark, wouldn't be able to water, and I just don't think is healthy, with lack of air circulating to the back of my trays.
