(Experienced Growers Only) Controversial Defoliation Increases Marijuana Yields - Photoperiod Plants

[Epic Genetics]

i remember when this guy was posting his info and pics when it was actually taking place and i completely disagree with his info and advice

take for instance where in the article he says this ,,,,

"Experiments show, again and again, that large plants with intensively prepared structure during extended Veg cycle yield far more than untrained, smaller, force-flowered inpiduals."

pay special attention to the "extended Veg cycle" part of that comment/info

after pages and pages of his claims and pics he still could not prove defoliating alone is what increases his yeilds, he also trains/bends the plants pulling branches out and opening up the canopy, that can be done without deleafing imo

anyone with the TIME can acheave better results with an "extended Veg cycle" and do NOT have to stress thier plants if they chose not to

peace

edit: i actually have this experiment running as we speak , ive done it many times over the years but every once in a while i try again , prolly foolish of me but what the heck

ive got a full room of og kush going and stripped one in veg

let see some pics and disprove or prove this theory once and for all...

I think when he says "extended veg cycle" he means more on the lines of getting a large enough stem / root structure to support good fruitng / flowering...

but thats just how I read it... I cant read his mind unfortunately... :smokebuds:

Either way... I'm doing a side by side... and we'll see for sure...
I'll be strictly defoliating... all other controls are exactly the same... clonmes of the same mother... vegged and fed the same... same hieght... under the same 400W LED solarstorm / mover combo with UVB supplemental and co2 enrichment..

I've always wondered bout this too. Usually I just pull the fans that are blocking my budsites in the SCROG, and then completely clean out under the screen. Interesting test, I'll be watching.:eye:

Me too... no SCROG tho... and ONLY on photos :1212: of course... NEVER on my autos... :204:

i havent been posting pics lately due to a troll following me around the net threatening to out me and use anything i post against me

but if there is any noticable difference good or bad i will post pics of them just before harvest

and imo "extended veg cycle" means exactly that "extended" meaning takes longer in each cycle from start to finish , meaning by years end you didnt end up with more , just more per cycle , only difference is you could have done more cycles without the "extended veg cycle"

peace

Well I am hearing a lot of poeple using a 2 week veg cycle on photos.. and then flipping flowering... which from much experience... is NOT the way to make weights...

I recently heard a new theory with a 3 week veg... I'll have to limit to one thing at a time..

on the veg cycle... if you set yourself up right... veg time shouldn't make a :lick: o difference..

thats why 2 sep chambers.. :186: or :204: and :1212:



sorry to hear you have a troll... trolls suck...
