My goodness... get a plant science book and take a class or two. the Grow Bible is a goddamn joke. Lame picture book for teenagers. Jorge Cervantes is burned the hell out. He has no degree to speak of.
comparing outdoor to indoor is so ignorant . outdoor is shwag weed , best outdoor crop goes for 800 a unit of you can find someone dumb enough to pay it. Good indoor is 2500-2800 a unit.
I'm still waiting on side by side comparison from the OP. instead we are comparing outdoor to indoor ? of course side lighting helps! it adds lumens. the sun has a shitton more lumens than indoor lighting, that's why the plants are bigger outside, holy shit man.

I think defoliation during flowering reduces potency. I've been doing a fairly heavy defol near the end of flowering to try to get more light to lower buds but potency has been consistently lower than what I think it should be. Then I read where an experiment was done that showed that resin glands don't depend on the nearby leaves to power resin production. It's the same even if the nearest leaves are yellow ones that don't produce much photosynthates. It said that it's the total leaf area that supplies the energy and that it is moved to the bud sites for production of resin. So it would be logical that the more leaf is present, the more potent will be the buds. So this time I'm going to leave them all on and see if it increases potency.
BTW I also used lizard lights and it was still lacking. I figure it's gotta be the defol. I also did other trimming of leaves whenever some looked excessive. So I'm pretty sure defol during flower does reduce potency. It was a bunch of different strains too, so can't chalk it up to a bad strain.
I also read a few studies where defol was done to various types of plants and it always reduced yields by almost as much as you would expect based on the percentage of leaf they removed. They never ever caught back up with the controls.

Def a valid point. I want to see your conclusion of you decide to experiment... Although I would personally be afraid to strip the plant while in full budding mode

I do have to remove a leaf or two, if there's a big one on top and it's shading several smaller shoots, but it's very few. I'm not going to strip a bunch off though like I did before. May end up with a lot of fluff but we'll see.
