I am blind but I think post 389 makes my opinion look like there might be just a tiny bit of validity to my opinion but you do you uncle

Removing the very plant unit that supports and produces bud is like removing your nose to spite your face. It's downright stupid flying in the face of all that is botanically correct and sound. See post 388 if you haven't already.

good luck
Mr Old Uncle Ben Botany professor,



I will gladly concede if you can botanical correctly explain why said solar panels are necessary after stretch/transition? perhaps you know more botany than me?

Once stretch is over I still have never figured out why anyone would give 2 shits about a solar panel/fan leaf when growing indoors once the plant is done with stretch! There is no need to protect the flower or fruit from the outside elements!

The roots nor the plant will never grow bigger after transition/stretch! Leave the solar panels, strip them or whatever you want!

However IMO the day stretch/transition is over every bit of my attention is directed towards flowers the solar panels are pointless and just creating unnecessary higher RH! If the flowers can’t support themselves with their sugar leaves that is a grower issue not a botany issue!!!

when growing indoors the grower is the boss not Mother Nature! If anything is wrong it’s the growers fault!

I started torturing my indoor grow ladies on my 4th run. It was at least a week or two or 500 ago! I have left all SOLAR PANELS/FAN LEAVES on 1/2 a light at least 1or 5 times!


someone that has not done it themselves SHOULD NOT TELL ANYONE HOW MUCH THEY DO NOT KNOW ABOUT BOTANY IN MY OPINION!

However everyone should grow the way that grows best in their environment!

Merry Christmas

Peace

Those "solar panels" are the source and the flower is the sink. The fans have the majority of the chloroplasts that adsorb the light and the stomata that intake CO2, those sugar leaves dont have squat compared to the fan leaf. That fan leafs (the source) whole purpose is feeding that flower (the sink). If you want to strip off the sources you should stuff a whole lot of sinks in there and just accept they will be smaller without the source attached but more of them.

I seriously do not take being lucky for granted! I will take it any day!

However this is not luck in my opinion!

Every 63-65 days same shit and sometimes a different strain.

Show me yours?
