That looks like a ton of work you put in! Although, your grows are always wicked impressive. I love watching the twists and tricks you pull out. I remember your stress tests where you did just mad things to them and still pulled off a nice finish.

Very nice 420! I started my run right after yours.
Feels like I’ve filled up a 55 gal barrel with leaves so far.I like what I’m seeing.
I feed them leaves to the chickens. Between the six or seven of them, they get rid of two plants worth a day.Thanks Rick!
Ha ha… I was just thinking the same thing the other day after a round of defoliating. Been filling my green bin with so many cannabis leaves lately and not leaving much room for the yard waste.
Hard to believe how much foliage comes off of these plants.
If you don't have chickens and need to get rid of it you can always burn it, but you need to burn it hot and clean. I've used a metal barrel, with a hole cut in the bottom side. Using a roofing burner I keep the fire hot and blazing through that side hole. I start with a layer of dry wood to get a hot base. Then dump the plant material in a cardboard box and put that onto the fire. Then turn up the gas and let her rip until only ashes are left. If I keep the torch at the right angle I barely get any smoke and thus no smell either. My missus stood down wind while I was doing it and was amazed it only smelled like I was starting the BBQ...
I put mine in a 5 gal bucket.At the end of my run throw them into the compost tumbler with my reamended soil. I also chop up the remaining root balls and compost them. I throw the stalk and branches away.
I run them through the worm bin and turn em into black gold for future plants.

My chickens always just peck at bits of it and leave the rest.
I've got a 15 x 15 ft compost heap for my horse shit and chicken shit and general garden waste thats perfect to hide my evidence of a good defol

Per @420autoflower 's request, here are some updates from this morning, completion of the 7th week. This is a testament to the resilience of good genetics, and some plain old luck. I've had a lot on my mind lately and my head has not been in the game, made a bunch of mistakes and had some equipment failures. My plants started to bud early, and then a pure 'space out', I did my schwazzing on weeks 1 and 3 of flower instead of 2 and 4. All things considered, I'm surprised and happy with how they look now. Hopefully my luck will hold out.
Last picture is of the Purple Rolex, which is the frostiest so far (honorable mention goes to the Double Grape, which is a close second).

Thanks @DCLXVI
It is a lot of work but the payoff is well worth it in the end. I should just keep it simple and grow a handful of plants but for some reason it’s always an ongoing quest for me to grow as much as I can in small spaces while maximizing the potential of my equipment.
It’s an addiction brother and I’ve obviously been bitten hard!
