how about a get together, to start well' have a few rums' couple beers' then we will get to chucking the fists street style, no toking that will slow us down, one with most bruises' fuken loses.ive' always cleaned out bottom buds , larf, etc, plucked leaves'', my fuken grow room,why not? i know defoliating at right time works with, the pure, skunk one, b. f. sweet. tooth, afganika, one i stuffed was white widow, i vegged longer,in flower it streched up to fuken light every mor, ihad over done it with leaves, they looked like bombed out building lol, never got to see end result, mr plodd took em. keep on tokin boys'.

To ANYONE that want's a side by side. Don't do it. Just do ONE GROW using this technique exactly as described. Find out for yourself! Nobody in here is saying it's killed their plants! What's one grow? I have seen the potential and will dial it in to my room and needs.

Just when you think you have seen all the dodgy/shady stuff possible in a thread then we are advised NOT to do a side by side.

i have one full shopping bag of leaves that i take of my plant .and it does not put 1 single day on the length of the flower.and harvest is up too .this is a very strain dependant topic mine seem to love the leaves being taken off.i was told that in nature plant leaves get eaten by bugs, so over the years of evolution a plant would not be too stressed to loose some leaves,i would not rip any maybe 1or 2 off a kush plant but would rip loads of a skunk plant .so it is all about what you are growing !
hi there willyweed, mate grows 12 foot skunk one in sheds , ya should see his shopping bags of discarded leaves, when he comes out of shed with bags ,he is always laughing,lol.:blowbubbles:

Experience trumps Theory
Truth trumps Science

Remember when scientists were discreditted for thinking the world is round???
Because its so obvious its flat hahaha

If you truly are such an honorable man of science, be scientific and experiment. For sciences sake.

Im not a man of science. But i experimerrrrrrrrrrrrr i fuck around with different shit to see what i like and what works best for me

Maybe we should be doing less experiments and more fucking around.

Experience trumps theory.

Try experience once in a while... Kinda fun. You might even learn something you didnt even know.

'Nah ill trust science. I dont want to fall off the earth'

I will not have less harvests per year! How the fuck do you figure that? I've already mentioned I'm LIMITED BY STATE LAWS! Again more ignorance from you. Some of us do not have the luxury or are not willing to breach the laws to that extent. I'm allowed 4 freaking plants in flower and I grow to make edibles for my elderly mother. I need a lot out of those 4 plants and I have height limitations.

I DONT EXTEND MY VEG TIME! Is it that hard for you to figure out? I know you understand why in reality, so why do you even bring it up as an argument?

yes you will have less harvests.

imagine two rooms each with a 1k, 2 plants per tent, 12-13oz per plant, harvest every 30-40 days. lot more harvests then 4 per year eh?

terrible advice, and you havnt seen any potential. you dont even know what your capable of yielding cause you havent dialed your room in.









defoliation is not a "high yield" technique.

When i was a powerlifting, there were two gyms i went too.
One was a hole in the wall fucking trailer with a couple platforms some good olympic bars and weight plates, the stereo sucked there was no ac but the drinking fountain was cold. Not what you would think of as a nice place to work out.
The other place was state of the art built to maximize the comfort of the lifter... Chairs, ac, new stereo... It was an actual building too. Very corporate like. It was 'perfect'.

I feel like i got stronger and built more muscle and confidence when i trained in the gym w less creature comforts... I guess you could say a 'higher stress' environment. Where i was sweating more. Where i was uncomfortable. Where motherfuckers where bleeding from their shins and palms...
The state of the art scientfically proven to help keep you efficient gym i felt was for pussies.... They werent working as hard they arent going to be as strong as big as tough. And they werent....

I look at my plants like fighters. I should my mentor is pretty bad ass dude.

What im trying to say is try quit making them as comfortable as they can and try to make them work harder. Ride their shit. Slap your hoes. Deleaf/leaf priune whatever you want to call it or dont call it. Maybe youre doing great now all by the book and shit but i bet you can push more out by working your bitches a little differently. A little unorthodox. Try it. You might like it....

lol .first time i did it .my mate said i was crazy,i thought i was too.but results speak for themselves,the same mate is now asking me to help prune his ! .my latest 3 plants are only 1 foot tall ,but have approx 40-50 clear bud sites all at the same height in the power zone (sweet spot of the light). to all the people that dont do it stop slagging it untill you have tried it and then get back to this page and tell me it does not work,and i will call you a liar and know that it is true.but it is strain dependant.get everything else dialled in first before you engage the hyperdrive

ive said it once and il say it again every pic of bud from a defpoliated plant on here lacks girth. the buds are far thinner whith exposed stalk. pics like dr fever's (above) show what a weel grown but looks like, you shouldnt see stalk running through the colas etc.

ive had temp issues before when growing in winter, and the cold really fucks up the flower production. cold plants produce bud similar looking to the defoones posted here.

still looks like lots of leafs left on plant as well you pruned rather then defoilated big difference either way .yes there is a big difference ,but i just did what works for me.taking leaves off ,regular ,and from start to finish,also from the small plants in soil 12-14 litre i cut 275g wet and from the bigger ones grown in rockwool 26-28 litre i cut 475g wet .not to shabby under 1 600w hand water, no training .i expect even more off the ones that i am training at the moment.the biggest issue here seems to be space and lights .if you grow large with loads of light sources ,taking the leaves off is not so important,but in confined space with only one light source it is more important to get the light to the lower part of the plant .more efficient for me ,photo taken before last strip of leaves in the flush cycle.:)

those plants are not defoliated- not like others in this thread. the bud actually looks chunky, thats prob on behalf that you have left lots of leaves on.

:ying: d. fever there should be abig run on pure power plant seeds at moment,for other bods' to see how they fare. ithought id' tried p.p.p, long way back, but know i know they were orange bud or? bloody near lot hermied. i see the seeds' are still for sale,might have to try some with some leaf plucking of course,lol great debate how about a vote in yes or no on page 300.lol:blowbubbles:
 
here extreme skinning lol


Well you do some form of it but if you did it right you would see some numbers but you play with magnets but have the worst side by side ever four plants all in magnets in different places no controls no extra plants to get a real average.

I have one plant from the same mother that is much bigger than her sister they just grew different my buddy had the same plant and had three different sized plants.

I can see by your lack of updates on your experiment you are not really open to experiments you have never tied defoliation but yet you play like your an expert but are so closed minded there has to be something wrong with you mentally and your partner whodar who have never tied this but claim to know something about it Retarded !!!:moon:
