damn ssw...did you fail your exam?

Removing a few fan leaves in veg can really increase your yeild

Don't go pull any leaves off yet
As it don't work on some plants
If you put some pictures up I can see if its a good plant to try this on

I love this shit

Here she is

so you are gonna defoliate while using cfls?

this gets better and better

Love the weight you got the light clamped to, best use I've seen for one yet. Besides a boat anchor....lol

Its a sativa dominat plant so it probably won't be a good ideal to*remove leaves and as the plants under a clf its not great (if your going flower it under cfl)

But Great job with the plant

Im using cfls now
as soon as my tent fittings arrive
im gonna hookup my 400w cooltube
and veg with a MH for a few weeks to fill trellis i will be putting up also
and then bloom with HPS
Should i defoliate before i flip her??

I wouldn't defoliate per se for that plant.

I would do some strategic trimming and pruning though. It is indeed too bushy imo.

As in trimming leaves that are creating the mostt shade??
Rite

as in removing entire branches that won't yield shit anyway...rite

Yea i already lollypopped a bit today

Well vegging under a mh for a few weeks will help, removing a few weaker streched shoots
would be the first thing I would do, see how she looks after that
And if there still too many leaves
Start removing a few large old fan leaves, the plant may stop drinking for a few days so don't water till soil is 90% dry
and give the half the amount of water as overwater is the biggest*misstake you can make

It will stunt the plant for a few days

Good luck
