Damn they look like candy!! Whoa!! What are your plans as for harvest. Are you going to cure? I ask because they look delicious! I'd love to see a closeup shot of one of those nugs with a 3 week jar cure if possible :)

good work bro! keep on the experimenting x)

seems like the reduction of foliage might lead to a higher concentration of hormones in the buds, which might shorten the ripening phase??? (similar to some fruits where hormone application leads to induction of flowering/fuiting)

blessss

Bionic,Pseudo,drythroat Thnx

SumDumGuy they smell like candy too. Everything gets a cure. Ill post up some dry shots when all is finished.

purple_man Im not sure about any of what you said but it might be right. Today is day 43 and there more than done. Trichs are about 10% amber but i wasent ready for the fast finish so i need a few more days to finish my flush. Ill get a few pics tonight. Peace LL

Cool stuff Lifeless. Are you thinking of doing any side by side grows for comparisons? I'm very curious to see what, if any, effects this could have on the quantity, and various qualities of the bud. Cool experiment

my mentor used to tell me there was no need for all those big leaves indoors - that inside the light is more intense (due to source proximity??? i forget.... i just defoliate!!!) and the big fans just get in the way.
outside is a whole different thing though and you need to keep your leaves...

pics & plants are excellant thanks!

where the naysayers at?
