Update, about 1 week since the leaves were pulled.

Well I defoliated quite early so there were only about 5-6 fan leaves that I got rid of. But I think there has been good growth in the last 5 1/2 days :D

Well here is a pic now. Things are going well

So I can take a clone now and I an revert it back to veg? What are the chances that the clone will root with no rooting hormone? Because I don't want to do it if it might just die then I would be taking away from my yield.

It is already flowering and I am not sure if you can take clones at that stage. You can see from the pictures that there are quite a few white hairs, is that too late? When I was defoliating, I accidentally cut off a small top, which i then put in some water, so hopefully that develops roots.

Thanks for the advice. This is one of my only plants but I don't care so much about yield, this is more of just a hobby. Anyway, Im gonna keep updating pics every couple of days.

I just wanted to try it out, I'm not growing 100% for yield, mostly for fun. hahaha and those leaves aren't really blocking any tops. It seems lots of people have a strong agenda against different growing techniques. I am not "for" defoliation, I am jut trying it out.

It's been about 4 1/2 days since I defoliated. Things are looking much better and the tops are growing very well. Listening to you guys, I will probably not defoliate again, except maybe near the end of flower. Here are some pictures. as you cans see also from the pics, there are a significant...

I already LST'ed before defoliating and right now the tops are growing good (I will update pics tomorrow). I have no height limitations in my grow area though. So in your opinion, what is the best way to maximize yield if there are no height or width limitations? Thanks

I understand that it could harm the plants as you are simply removing the solar panels of the plant. However, so many people have said how it has worked great for them. But still, would you recommend just LST'ing and/or topping?

Here are some pictures which were taken 36 hours after the trimming, already looking better. Please let me know of any advice you guys have

The plant looked very healthy before it was defoliated. I have seen a few of these types of pics and the plants look horrible right after the removal of leaves. And I did take this picture right before watering so she was drooping quite a lot. However, yes, the PH could be an issue.

Ok, so I have read up a bit about defoliation and discovered that there are a lot of different opinions on it, so, I thought I might as well try it with the Critical Super Silver Haze I have been growing over the past few weeks. The main problem with these types of experiments is that you have...
