I like how UB tries to post with authority about things he has never done and has no experience with.

I just have to say when you have your name in the credits and p8cs of your plant in a book by Jorge Cervantes anything that you say about growing weed should be listened to.

no idea what you're talking about bud, if you have something new or interesting to add, by all means...

As 'bud' i mean to say flowers , new growth which turns into flowers , growing flowers etc. As leaves are not part of 'final product', i don't see point on preserving them if removing enhance the final yield. I never could get 17 colas in single plant with any other techniques under directly 12/12 light cycle.DSC01540 (3).JPG
This is 20th day pic of a plant under 12/12 light cycle (current grow), i have used defoliation as routine (you can see leaves on bottom of plant). It has already shown 16 nicely grown branches.

That doesn't even make sense when you don't point out where I also have been giving advice about grow techniques I have never tried... you are just tossing a bunch of word salad nonsense.

Might want to bust out your dusty guide to popular 70's slogans and brush up.

I to feel the need to do the "d" word lol, but I restrict my self and only prune a few leves every few day. I have a few plants that I will try it on but for now just natural pruning for me. At 30 days my girls are looking frosty as hell and getting thicker so I'm not gonna fuck with a good thing!

Actually I have a huge Northern lights that's in it's 2 week of flower and it's hermieing( I thought it would.mom was supper stressed) I can experiment on this one. I will start to defoliate at the end of the stretch. So the beginning of week 3 ( she only stretches for 2 weeks) I already planned on cutting off the hermie branches( mostly bottom shit stems) cause I love the NL smoke so fruity and piney all at once and shes a huge producer. When she's done flowering and everything's cured and weighed I will post my findings.

They are a battle. Yellow sticky tape and I use a chrysanthemum oil spray that kills adults on contact. Wally World for like 7 $ its by garden tech. Pains in the asses they are!

Make sure to rinse the oil off the leaves after cause it will burn them. Happened to my mob pretty bad she just recovering!

I would suggest to try defoliation for heavy yield, fully grown 50-60 branches can give 500+ gm in decent set-up. Let the branches grow in their natural way and rely on defoliation to make sure proper light reach to all branches tops. good luck bongsmilie

(This is latest pic of my current grow in 1m x 0.5m area with aim of 500+ grams)

I worked in that much space for a while and it will be nearly impossible to pull 500 grams in that space, theres just not enough room. The 3' x 20" x 5.5' that i had the most i could get out of the space without overcrowding was 14.5 oz. Moved into a 3 x 5 tent with the same light and genetics and pulled 2 lbs lol.

Good luck though, more power to you if you can pull it off.

Nope, that's what i am experimenting in my current grow. If careful defoliation can increase the harvest, it makes sense to experiment it ! :bigjoint:

It is absolutely impossible to increase yield of a plant by mutilating it. Change of growth pattern, sure. But you cannot increase potential of genetics of a plant. The plant has potential growth in optimum environment and anything you do to throw off this perfect environment will negatively affect this potential. So topping, defoliation, pinching, lollipopping all cause stress and subtract from this potential. Now given time to recover during veg, they plants may grow out with a more even canopy and all your buds may be more uniform, and you may need to use these techniques for your space which would enhance your environment, but its veg time and genetics that change yield, everything else is just situation dependant and in no way increases the yield of a plant to more than 100% percent of what it is capable of. Just saying.

Experiment? Your mind is made up and like all the others at RIU who don't understand botany, you don't have a control group or a scientific study to back up your anecdotal evidence....so, you'll see (conclude) what you want to see. "As 'bud' i mean to say flowers , new growth which turns into flowers , growing flowers etc. As leaves are not part of 'final product', i don't see point on preserving them if removing enhance the final yield."

I'll clue you in. Leaves ARE the final product and in the end leaf and root mass is all that matters. Why? Another clue, because those units drive the very thing you're trying to produce.

Botany 101 class is over.......

Yeah, i am also suspicious about space management. I had plan of growing 4 plants max, but all bag seeds turned to female so i have 6 plants and i can't throw away female plants :shock: In the same space i have pulled 200 + gm with autoextreame in my previous grow. Hope this time i can surpass the last harvest amount :leaf:
