because the test needs to be standardized, thats proper procedure really. and it also has to be repeated to obtain an average. this is whats involved with research and development. using plants of different sizes will compromise the results

using the biggest plant compromises the test. the test would have to be standardized and repeated to really validate the results.

anyone hear about that guy that jumped out of a plane with no parachute and into a net the other day?

well, according to where this thread has lead, what you can do is remove those lower buds that are currently shaded, and then still bend down the branches to allow, not light to the buds you remove but instead allow more light to the leaves... the terminal or buds at the ends should then become...

if anything, what im getting from this would be to remove the buds which are essentially a lost cause and are parasitic to the growth of the terminal buds.

i took all the leaves off the plant. im still happy with the buds tho. i think they have a nice frost to them and considering they will be given away since i cant use them personally i think they have come along nicely.

great, all this time on the thread and the whole time i was just being lead on to buy something.

does it slow the production in the entire plant or just gross production in post removal of the leaf? or does the production remain the same in the leaves that remain but the change in osmotic pressure causes a delay.

thats also why i said that perhaps what we are seeing is the illusion of accelerated growth if the means of comparison of growth are of the lower buds to the terminal buds that are above the damaged areas.

thats what im saying by interrupted. i mean a change of normal flow rate while lower growth is not experiencing this lower rate.

alright guys, if you understand what i just put then maybe im starting to see a change of tide here.

im guessing for a while, the flow of nutrients is interrupted due to the damaged tissue. during this recovery time, tissue below the damaged area does not have that problem. it may not be accelerated growth, perhaps a better way to put it would be continued growth during the time that the...

im not sure of all the mechanisms of action, but its something iv applied on a regular basis. i break a branch and it gives the lower branches a chance to catch up while the branch i broke recovers. sometimes ill cut out a small v to aid in the bend which heals over to make a nice elbow in the...

but when the plant is damaged, tissue below the point of damage temporarily experiences increased growth.

i had hypothesized the transfer of auxins after top leaves where removed, that combined with the plant being stimulated in a new way while being able to rely on sugars produced by the newly exposed growth that is now receiving more auxin displacement could be synergistic. I say could be. we...

i already posted a pic of stripped leaves, even the ones that poked from the buds where not of the best quality, the plant is still kicking ass and the triches have made a noticeable improvement compared to last week.

im willing to run a side by side

i was pushing the snow storm and kool bloom a good bit. as long as the buds where not dying im happy, has you can see once trimmed it comes out fine. once water cured and aged you probably wont be able to tell what it had been through. it stinks too which is what i like to remove with water...

you saying im bragging? okay buddy you just lost your Christmas card this year.
