This was my experience also…no difference from what I could tell…Doesn't really seem to help anything either though

good monn, gtg the kiddo off to bed qwik, but after its time for a Green Dragon ride.Evening amigro How’s it going?
I have heard that from some. And at the other end miracles.I run my hlg UVA light for half of my lights on time, straight, per day and it doesn't hurt anything. Doesn't really seem to help anything either though
There's also a couple different spectrums of uv. @Mañ'O'Green runs a few different ones and he knows the details. I just see nothing from the added UVA. UVB could be a different story. My bar hangs down through the middle of my light. No real difference in the plants underneath it compared to the edges. Been through a few grows with it nowI have heard that from some. And at the other end miracles.
From the little empirical info out there it seems they agree on increased terp and flavonoid production at a slight cost in harvest yield. Some say extra trichomes others don't.
Stinkier frostier buds might be perceived as more potent... but evidence is mixed.
This is the first grow trying extreme defoliation. Almost 3 weeks and just did the second round and I am SCARED SH@TLESS!

I was scared with moderate defoliation last time too but it worked out.
The tiny pot with coco on the near right is going untrained. Just to see.
I am mad at myself for snapping several flower heads while reaching in. ....tried tape but ultimately had to cut the branches off a few hours later. Lost dozens of bud sites.
4:50 for the AFN shout-outThanks @Mossy

Appreciate it. The previous grow with moderate defoliation was a good experience. Hopefully this is even better.You'll be surprised how fast they bounce back! I usually do the same at day 21 and then selective defoil here and there pulling leaves blocking bud sites. I "skirt" it and leave some leaves at the bottom though just in case they get hungry.
This round, just left it to jungle status and just pulled a couple here and there. First way works better for me
