I do think it is worth noting though, it is not the end of the world if you decide to try, so I would allow this one to just be itself and then maybe on your next run try it and see if you like the difference. Like I said earlier, a gardener is more inclined to go for athletics the yield. A...

If you want to have bigger apical bud / buds then removing lower buds (not the leaves) will could help achieve this, but you will be doing two things which will have an impact on overall yield. Removing buds you plant will do one of two things, 1) Divert hormone from the apical but to the lower...

Just to add, I am talking about gram per watt, someone has mentioned quite rightly that you would have one bigger bud then many smaller buds when defoliating. Gram per watt overall will be affected though, so in that respect it would be preference really - I mean who doesn't want I foot long...

Its important to note that a plants structure will grow towards the light source, the plant will put leaves where it needs them. Adding more light anywhere is a good thing, but there will be no benefit over a vertical or horizontal light. A vertical light the plant will grow taller to make sure...

I would also think yield wise we will be talking grams and not ounces.

What colour colour temperature are they? What is the equivalent wattage? How close are they, do you have a reflector? Quick answer is yes, they will grow and yes you will get some smokable buds on them, but not all 23w CFLs are made equal.

Here's also an interesting thing, if you take a look at grow pictures on the internet which utilise side lighting (vertical lighting) they grow EXACTLY the same structure as one with top lighting, big cola on top and less developed lower buds. The plant focuses its energy on the top bud not...

What DesertPlants said, a plant doesn't 'use' energy in its leaves, it 'creates' energy in its leaves through photosynthesis. It costs the plant no energy to drop a leaf it does not want, but sure does cost it energy if you take a leaf it does want. If a leaf is not getting enough light, it will...
