So now you are going to sling insults because you think I don't believe you?

So you run a grow op that uses bottled nutrients and had a tank top uniform in order to work there. Gotcha.

Do they make you swazzzaramma all the leaves too?
i had no issues slinging shit where it sticks

lol, the pet names you Homegrowers use to describe tried and true grower techniques , used for decades if not centuries if not longer

Wait. So commercial growers swazzzaramma your leaves? You leaf strip all your leaves?

Please respond like I'm a ten year old so I can understand your response. I'm seriously asking if this is true.

All three of the commercial grows I grow at defiolate, some might swazzaramma they didnt


I defoilate aggressivly in veg but only I'm weeks 2-3 in flower and before wk5.

Each enviroment will be different, I can only say what I want to do. When you have 300 plants under 10k you have to be dynamic and be ready to change pace.

So it's not a 5yr old issue since 5yr olds can't run a farm.

So you're saying stripping all the leaves off the plants increases the yields, or you do it for another reason?

I'm asking. Notice how it ended in a question mark. I thought you were smart.
Well when I was hired , that farm was producing 50 pounds a month and when I left they were producing 160 pounds a month ...who am I to say what did what... that's for you and the Billy boys to moniter in your charts, and worry about

2.5 grams a watt with gavita DEs... idk is that good

I believe it improves overall yield. You obviously believe differently, and that's cool. Also after many years of using RO water, I realized it was silly and my plants are very happy with the tap that they've been getting.
I've soften on my stance over the years. did a 3 tent test with clones 5 or 6 years ago. clones, same lights, same kind of tents, feed, etc. each plant was a step further in terms of defol. 1 was pretty much untouched outside of topping. 2 was what I would consider a moderate defol with topping, 3 was aggressively defol'd and topped. number 2 won the yield contest, but the difference between the 3 was minimal. where the difference stood out was in the morphology of the flowers. 1 and 2 had good colas with a fair amount of secondaries and larf. 3, while coming in slightly behind 1 and 2 in total yield, had better structure and less larf. I like larf though, it's where most of my hash comes from!

Had to lurk all that guacamole / barn door / algae bloom growing and swamp water moat around grow .

Trying to wrap head around 1000 ppm you throw at seedling / germ ….. i would think that is what jumped started the algae.
Guess the plants will just have to die... pray for my business
