Defoliation always works for me to pull maximum yield in limited space!! Pics from current grow, 5plants in less than 1x1 m area, under 600 watt hps, autoflowering strain (60 days from seed to harvest), currently at 45 days from seed.

Germination to harvest : 60 days, yield : 500gm + in 1x1m area (6plants), Best deal for Indoor growing!! These are recent pics of current grow, about 45days from germination. 5 plants under 600 watt hps in less than 1x1m area!! herbies heavyweight auto strains.

some updates :weed: I harvested first plant and pulled about 55 grams, it was a hasty harvest though as i was out of stock. Other 5 plants are still growing, almost ready to harvest now. I'll wait 4-5 more days. These were the plants directly in 12 /12 light cycle, currently in 66th day.

yeah, i know little about applying inverse square law for efficient light distribution. Currently I am trying to maximize the branch count to achieve the result, I had tried LST in previous grows but with LST it was pretty hard to get 20+ branch in single plant starting directly under 12 / 12...

i am expecting at least 300gm + from this ongoing grow, 550watt (400hps + 150cfl) light, 1m x 0.5m growing space, 6 plants, regular defoliation.

Some recent pics !

some more recent pics after 10 days ! :eyesmoke:

@Maine Buds No special reason, It at least preserves evaporation from soil in small extent, and as leaves decay as compost i normally mix it in soil for later grows !

Yeah, it was a happy grow :weed: It's the first time i crossed 100gm in single plant of autoflower. These were autoflowering strains (Autoextreme) and took about 80 days from seed to harvest. Nute / light etc is just general. I start the seed in compost mix black soil, and give only water till...

In my earlier grow, i only tried LST and never could get 10+ colas in single plant. The current grow is my second grow with defoliation. Following pic is a plant from first grow with defoliation, and it was better than all my previous grow :) As defoliation is very condemned technique, i had...

WTF !! I see you are here to 'teach' only, so we don't have any common ground to discuss about defoliation or any other stuffs. You are of course free to stick with your ultimate and entire knowledge of botany / farming etc. Good luck ! ( I am not university student of botany, but small scale...

Yeah, i am also suspicious about space management. I had plan of growing 4 plants max, but all bag seeds turned to female so i have 6 plants and i can't throw away female plants :shock: In the same space i have pulled 200 + gm with autoextreame in my previous grow. Hope this time i can surpass...

*Since then the lower leaves have become yellow and died* it's not very unusual process though, plats normally do it itself to draw nutrient from lower leaves which are old enough and not getting light properly ! Try to see burn marks / unusual patches in other younger leaves to make sure it is...

Nope, that's what i am experimenting in my current grow. If careful defoliation can increase the harvest, it makes sense to experiment it ! :bigjoint:

@Naes So your plants are almost ready to harvest ? Any pics of ur grow / link of your grow journal etc ?? My plants are in 4th week of flowering now, i'll keep on posting updates. :weed:

As 'bud' i mean to say flowers , new growth which turns into flowers , growing flowers etc. As leaves are not part of 'final product', i don't see point on preserving them if removing enhance the final yield. I never could get 17 colas in single plant with any other techniques under directly...

Reason for no LST is, I have plenty of vertical space, so no worry of plant's vertical height. and i didn't get as promising result as i am getting with defoliation in my past grow with LST. The following pic in from my current grow, where i have gotten 17 branches in single plant so far. This...

Any active members with some comments / experiences with defoliation ??

I pulled about 250 grams altogether from two plants :eyesmoke:

yeah, i can see "dumb" peoples are in every forums :clap:
