Question:
How many of you practice defoliation?
And what do you feel it accomplishes?

Oh yes. I do quite a severe strip; at the very start of flower, and again approx 21 days or so later.
It reduces humidity levels, improves the airflow among the plants. And some say makes the buds bigger ( that I'm yet to be convinced of).
Been doing it for yrs and not noticed any negative effects.

I pluck anything in the dirt or interfering with watering.

I could get into a diabetic coma over that

My blood sugar is generally quite low - I've never been a diabetic - maybe I was pre-diabetic - when I was a fat lump? - but since 3 years ago have mostly laid off too surgery foods - never drink soda - or booze - have no sugar in me coffee - and baked sweet treats - pastries and cakes are a rare addition to my diet (but I do luv'em) -

sugar is not good and throws your body in a tizz.

I was already in a tizz to start with - and you are right - sugar can be dangerous - but I've never O.D'ed on it - even if I eat a whole cake - I'm still fully functional -

I had uncle that was diabetic he'd come back from getting something lopped off.
He'd tell grandma he wants a double choco cake and a 6 pack of coke.
Wham diabetic comatose back in hospital for 2 weeks come back home and do the same fuckin thing all over again, till he died, what a stupid fuckin fool.

Now that's what you might call 'A VERY sweet story of Amputation' - Ya - I'm always telling my kids to 'Watch the Sugar' - then I go and eat my whole birthday cake - so maybe I'm not such a good sugar ambassador -

Lol

I also use garden shears on outside plants, especially if they are grown as bushes, which mine are.

 

[Gypsy Nirvana]

Got the heeby-geebies now - with all this talk of hedge sheers and amputations - lol

 

[Dequilo]

growing a hedge when I put 70 or so plants with six not so much

Ya just have to change one letter in that post - and it has a WHOLE different interpretation -

They turning me loose, man I can't wait to take a shower. Them sponge baths suck, I want the water running over me.

I think I went to the same school you did to get your doctorate.

I commiserate - much preferring Thai soapy massages - with a finale of happiness

sometimes I do , sometimes I don’t

I do believe that one can remove up to 20% of the big fan leaves and it will not have a negative effect on photosynthesis

otherwise , outdoors it is a real chore so I usually just leave it up to the chickens , they take care of the lower fan leaves

Damn yesterday was busy hope today calms the fuck down some.

Well it's one of the wonders of this world in my book -

2 attractive and well natured - willing ladies - in their birthday suits - scrubbing you down on a comfy 'wet mat' - with water hot or cold to your choice - often using certain erogenous zones on their own bodies - to help with the cleaning of your own body - then they both massage you with their full bodies too - all soaps - lubes and essential oils are supplied - or you could bring your own -

The one or two hour long experience has an optional ending - which you can arrange before - or during the Thai Soapy Massage - depending on what arises or not during the cleaning and massaging process

- The therapeutic affects alone were well worth the £10 it cost me - when I first tried this excellent treatment -
