removing fan leaves in flower

Honestly I don't see anything in these pics that couldn't have been achieved by Not defoilating... You don't have ground breaking results.

Why don't you try growing plants with hard buds all the way down to the soil. It can be done and ya, you don't have to defoilate. Pruning branches makes sense, stripping leaves is just stupid.

Who said I have groundbreaking results? All I said was that it works well for me..I've gotten far less larf about 50% less which is a win in my book...But to each his own happy growing!

Well you are showing off the buds like they are miracles of defoilating power. Too bad there's no way to show how big they could have been instead... Had you not hamstrung the plant.

Yes, that's it. I'm sitting around dreaming of nothing but to respond you your vomit. You got my number.

Let me ask you something, have you ever responded with anything productive on these forums, or is it all just verbal sewage?

I am not trying to win an argument here or be condescending so I hope it is not taken that way but I think your buds look very high quality and cared for but you are leaving possibly half your yeild wherever all the leaves and lower branches went.

Larf or popcorn or scrag or whatever is environmental or genetic or the plant does not have the means to fatten the buds up.

I have followed many guides and advise and have over pruned my plants and caused stress and even male flowers or stamen to suddenly develop and cause me more stress.

Ever since I just bend my plants to fit my space during week 1 or 2. And grow to protect and grow leaves (which seem to reflect root health like a mirror) and never cut anything off the plant my quality and yeild has gone up a lot.

And the lower branches and leaves being cut out would cost me at least an ounce of solid bud per 2 foot tall plant. Yes there are many tops that equal 2 to 4 more ounces per plant as well but please believe me they fill out a little bit more than the nice tops in your picture.

I like to fill the space I have from top to bottom with bud if I can. My results keep improving now that I am gaining a better grasp on how plants work.

Possibly half my yield you say, okay sounds good so let me put this into perspective, if I'm currently getting two pounds per light using defoliation are you saying that I could possibly go up to four pounds per light just by not defoliating?

The only way you are going to get 2 pounds off those plants you pictured is if you weighed all the stems your plants mostly consist of.
 
I'm definitely getting two pounds this harvest! I'm harvesting right now here's is just one of the four plants that I finished trimming.IMG_20160724_205833.jpg IMG_20160724_211821.jpg

Would you put it on a scale and take a pic for us when it is dry. Maybe one of you trimming the buds off the stems with the current date visible please.
