You have been very rational, that is why I haven't taken the piss with you. Most of the pics I have seen of people trying to justify defoliating have been big fluffy buds. Pics don't prove shit. I would like to see 1 plant, unmolested. 1 plant molested in the same room with the same grower.
show me where the molested one yields more and I would not dispute it anymore.
I live in the uk so I only stay up till about 12am my time
The facts are very simple here, the question is
defoliation? yes/no and techniques
1. can defoliation work ?
well I have shown you a large bushy plants with respectable buds on after defoliation, so the answer is yes
2. is defoliation the best technique and gives you the best yield ?
this is down to the skill of the grower as defoliation can give you great yield and poor if done wrong and this is no different to topping, lst, fim, super cropping, monster cropping, re veg, I have done them all over the years and every technique has to be done right to get the results you want, I have found a simple technique and it gives me control over the way the plant grows
but you do need a little more veg time but it works on every plant I have tried
I can have the plant 2ft wide or 6ft wide and have the amount of branches on the plant I want, full control over the canopy height ( can have it 12" or 3ft), a great way to do a perpetual scrog, but whats the point putting a guide on here when so many growers are against different techniques
the picture of my scrog with 6 plant, only had 6 days under the screen in the flower room before I turn over to 12/12, did all the training in veg and the screen just held the buds in place, the buds where 18" above the screen so I didn't need any veg time under the screen.
