Sadly this is the thing when it comes to this topic. The people tend to bash each other instead of collecting scientific evidence. But I don't see any argument against collecting scientific work on different species to look at the mechanics behind it, as this mechanics apply to cannabis as well...

Well I think specific parameters in plant physiology have developed very early, that's why you can compare different species on a biochemical basis. There are definitely a lot of things we can learn from studies on other plant species. But you are right in that point, that the results will still...

Looking at those studies I think that defoliation may especially produce decent results in indoor environments with low power lights as CFL or FT, however I saw some people talking about using it with HPS or MH as well. I hope this one wasn't to long, but I wanted to cover at least the basics...

Let's move on to the "budding" facts... "Floral development in emerging shoots of unrooted hardwood Chinese gooseberry (Actinidia chinensis Planch.) cuttings was enhanced by continuous defoliation, inhibited by total shading, and unaffected by tipping. Leaf production and growth, shoot...

"After defoliation, which removed all leaf tissue above the ligule of leaf 3, the rate of photosynthesis of the remaining two older leaves fell to 90–95 per cent of that of control leaves, but they exported more of their assimilated carbon to meristems elsewhere in the plant during the first 48...

So lets get to the literature work... "The reduction in whole plant photosynthesis following defoliation is not necessarily proportional to leaf area or biomass removal because of associated modification in canopy microclimate, the unequal photosynthetic contributions of leaves of various age...

Hello rollitup community! I was just doing some research on defoliation and got no reliable answers from the growers forums as everyone is following either the "pro" side or the "contra" side. The thing is, that very few scientific facts from current studies is involved in those discussions. I...
