and waste your efforts thusfar? think of leaves as power plants for your entire plant health.

people have been fishing for thousands of years. every once in a while, some one comes out with "the future of fishing" which will "change the way the world fishes forever!" they usually enjoy a small amount of success, before the world drops them in the tackle box with the ronco pocket fisherman and the floating keychain. why does the world drop them in the "trash" tackle box? because the process was streamlined before they were born, and it works.why fix something that works? why put extra effort into getting basically the same or worse results?
people have been growing weed as long as they've been fishing. they do it the way they do it for the same reason. it works. they've tried defoliation, they've tried molasses, they've tried fishguts, they've tried dancing in the moonlight...some of it works, and they keep doing it, some of its a total waste of time, and they quit doing it.
someone re-invents the wheel daily, while the rest of the world is busy rolling down the road

Imagine how big they'd be if they didnt have to waste all that energy on re-growing leaves...
I like leaves they're re pretty.. but I'm a smoker..so unless I'm making a picture book.. Indica.. Snip snip ;) and defoliation had been used for plants for centuries?

Which takes up more space.. so yes I'm able to get more plants under 1 light with less effort and more product in the end.. some math...4 plants that produce 100 grams.. or two that produce 100 grams...it makes more room if your limited on space as well.. just don't look as picturesque when she's bald though.

America is not the only culture to grow produce... and i saw a presentation by peruvian orgainc farmers while working for the usda... they used it for couple centuries... and sorry if i offended you...i started these plants in June and tested lst.. no defoliation or defoliation.. foliage feeding.. high temp co2..low temp.. many things... and with dp blueberry the main thing i learned... don't spray her.. she hates it!

Do you shave your pubes to make your pecker look bigger? Thats all defoliation Is really. Now if you wanna talk about selective pruning im all for it
