Good info about training! Thank you for sharing your experience. I did not know deleafing promotes more bud sites - I’ve only been using deleafing to expose shaded bud sites.Thanks again
One thing to remember about growing weed inside or outside taller is not going to be better weed. Taller is not going to be a better yield.
I learnt long ago there's a reason why people use scrog Nets. That's a spread the plant out so we can get more Bud sites. There's a reason why people super crop it stresses the plant. It tells the plant to go in defensive mode. Going into defensive mode it creates more trikes because the trikes are its defense against something trying to eat it ... So the plant thinks.. De-leaving is a two-prong strategy. It tells the plant that it's being eaten and it needs to grow more Bud sites and more trikes as defense and re-procreation. Another thing when super cropping you can also keep the plant laid down more and creates more openness to the plant which the plant can produce better yields because more sunlight gets to the inner Bud nodes that it couldn't get to before
So I always pull my plants down spread them out and super cropping, topping, De-leaving, are all part of it. All one has to do is refer to fruit farmers and or flower Farmers growing roses for instance. You always prune you always manipulate to get that better fruit or better flower. It's part of domestic farming. All you got to do is follow those rules and do it anyway you want. And you guarantee you'll come up with a better crop yield wise the high all the above.
For example how many plants do you think are in this picture?View attachment 1417233View attachment 1417234View attachment 1417236View attachment 1417237
The Harvest off from this was almost 5 lb. How many plants do you think are here?
I’m guessing you had 8 plants there?
In my current grow I topped and LST on the nanner plant. I think topping was too much for it since it already had N tox, so it induced flowering without much stretch.
I have let the other one grow naturally and its about a week behind the other plant. It is mid stretch right now and just starting to put out alternating nodes. Would you de-leaf now or wait until stretch is done? pics below
