well guys... my 1st test reults were, I'd say, inconcl;usive.... too many ongoing issues to trust the results... and being of pure scientific desire... I will reconduct this test under better enviro controls in the future... for now I have to say no results noticed in gain either way. But I cant rely on this test... and that is why I deem it inconclusive.

cheers mates!

:smokebuds:

@Bob... maybe my cats and I should go away for a week and pest strip everything...

sounds like they are effective... though I'm unwilling to further compromise my health to kill a parasite... I'd rather duke it out organically ...

which means it looks darker below the leaf to a human than it does to the plant because our eyes are most sensitive to the green spectrum

This made me giggle a bit, does your plants have eyes? Just kidding

Awesome thread, I subscribed because my hydro system has the pots verry close to eachother and plants get verry crowded and light penetration is not verry good. I'm totally not experienced I wouldn't dare to try it yet, i stick with LST and leaf tucking, but it's good learning..

I'm really interested in defoliating my photos now. Has anyone tried this and had conclusive results? I'm tempted to start on my plants that are in week 2 of flowering but I'm a little nervous

I removed some fan leaves from one of my critical jacks so I can compare the results next to a non defoliated plant. I'll share my results when I see some changes if this works as stated i should get a huge pile of dank bud cause i have them under my 1000w HPS hopefully this won't hurt my girl I'm still a little nervous

View attachment 183711 View attachment 183710Man this picture thing still dont work for me.LOL! Anywho, I plan to stake down a photo bean this season,and last season I did pretty much that.I trimmed most all the fan leaves off over the course of flowering to test that very theory.I had solid results truth be told.That was truly a Fantastic read too.Thank you!! :joint:

I use defoliation methods outdoor.. Even on latest auto indoor..
I only use the method maybe 2 times topps. Never never after 2-3 week into flower...
I'll usually defoliate some at the start of flower. Helps with air flow, more light.
I would agree tho that some strains might not take well to defoliation. Bushier the better
works for me anyways...

I would like to see the results of these defoliated autos.
