I believe in stripping fan leaves, and the three per light method and explanation of the method is just straight bullshit. That book is 100% theft if anyone even bought it id be amazed.“You’re looking for optimum light penetration through the canopy,” Haupt says. “Not only that, you’re refocusing the plant’s energy toward the top to generate new growth. When you schwazze your plants, you’re removing a lot of their ability to uptake sugar. The fan leaves are sugar factories and feed the flower. When they’re removed, you now have to feed the plant all that sugar and the micro/macro nutrients.”
That’s where Success Nutrients come in, providing the primary and secondary pH-buffered nutes necessary to sustain healthy plant growth.
That's a quote from the author. I've seen this book referenced on this site before, have never heard an explanation how the science of it works. I've never done it the way it's being shown so I'll hold my judgement until I have. I'll say this though some one selling a book for 500.00 dollars an getting people to buy it is a genius
The book also talks about stripping fan leaves in veg, which is effective in doing one thing and one thing only, stunting a plants growth, which is sometimes necessary, but no miracle to yield. The aggressive defoliation at week 3 of flower MUST have the same effect, though id never try it because its 100% gunna stunt your plant. Removing fan leaves should be done slowly over multiple weeks and never to the extent these idiots are recommending.
