Yeah, the buds look great, but your missing out on all that wonderful kief. I'll say it again, I smoke the leaves and throw the buds away.

keif made from what??? the shade leaves or sucker/water leaf???? Those leaves are used by some to make the low end kief.... I dont even use fan leaves for butter..yuuk

the crystally leaf trimmings from close to the buds in the final trim is what you want to use for the kill kief

So far what I have seen proven:

Some know how to pluck leaves.
Plants do have the ability to recover after being stressed.
And there are some good growers, misguided, but still good growers.


Still waiting on something that actually proves increased yield.

im still on the fence about this topic, certain strains respond well with defoliation and some do not, thanks to all those who have submitted their own grow experiences concerning this technique without belittling others :)

Maybe, you could take up the task of performing an "experiment" for us all?:idea:

I'm just gonna say, I like my plants to focus there energy on bud production, not regenerating all the leaf I cut off.

I am still quite impressed , however, with the final picture in his post.

Get outta here with that shit! Cervantes, UB and other cannabis authorities have assured me that plucking is wrong. Like evil wrong!

Well OBVIOUSLY they are not AUTHORITIES are they then? Just because you have a book on the subject doesn't mean that his way is the only way and he himself has said its time to UPDATE the bible with better more up to date information. Why would you put Jorge in the same sentence as UB? There is no comparision IMO, One knows all and the other is a Know-it-ALL.

Respect the man not the wannabe

I have done many over the years with many different plants. The one thing I have found common in all of them is its a very, very rare occasion that you can manipulate a plant to yield beyond its genetic potential.
