Well you do some form of it but if you did it right you would see some numbers but you play with magnets but have the worst side by side ever four plants all in magnets in different places no controls no extra plants to get a real average.

I have one plant from the same mother that is much bigger than her sister they just grew different my buddy had the same plant and had three different sized plants.

I can see by your lack of updates on your experiment you are not really open to experiments you have never tied defoliation but yet you play like your an expert but are so closed minded there has to be something wrong with you mentally and your partner whodar who have never tied this but claim to know something about it Retarded !!!:moon:

how much yield are you getting per light man? do you have pics? your giving out your opinion but we havnt seen anything from you. you havnt even said what your yielding but your telling people with pics that they are ''doing it wrong''

bud buster doesn;t matter what you really think there buddy my previous grow was 5 plant 4.75 pound dry harvest in a uncontroled enviroment in summer hahahah and with 2000 watts
this grow which i have bin posting updates will be 7 - 10 pound harvest being c02 has bin implemented and a room so dialed in if you farted it would detect it :)) as well instead of 5 plants there is 12 plants in 5 feet x 15 feet scrog table your more then welcome to watch and learn how real pro's do it

the last one is some lower bud. its nice at the bottom with no defoliating.

I always thought defoliation seemed a bit daft because of the removal of energy for growth but some exmples here look amazingly well branched... mind you until I can do side by side grows comparing the two in my fairly non-branched Sativas I'll not adopt the system yet :-/

So I have been in this thread since its beginning, an remember all the sick photos D9 and K33ftr33z posted up. If they are gone, that sucks, because there was plenty of proof in the photos in my opinion.

Yes sir, I defoliate in Veg, but usually, my plants get less than 10 days of veg. But I am still plucking lower fan leaves all the way through. I flower my untopped SourD ibl Riri at 6 inches, and it results in a 3-4oz monster, 8 per 1K. The ChemD is flowered at 8-10 nodes, topped 3 days before flip. also, 3-4oz per plant, 8 per 1K.

By day 50, there are no leaves with stems left in the canopy. There might be some fans below the canopy, I leave those that are not in wat to add some defense for the plant.

I have not done a side byside, but what I have done is an 8 plant ChemD grow, 1K, with no defoliation at all, averaged 2.5 per plant. 20 oz total. The very next grow, same light, same strain, same veg, but have been defoliating since the plant had roots. Same 63 days flower, averaged 3.5 oz per plant, for 28 oz total. an increase of 8 oz, well worth it.

If your plants are extremely healthy, there is no shock, or extra days of veg needed. Sm-90 and hygrozyme work very well together.

posted this last night. No one even noticed. No pics, but look in my photos to see some SourD that has been dofoilated.

This whole thread is crazy. Two types of people with a voice in this thread. The ones who have tried the method and actually have experience saying it works, and the people who have not tried defoliating at all, claiming there is no way in hell this method could work. I believe the folks so adamantly against the possibility of defoliating are hardwired to believe this. I remember in an old Ed Rosenthal or Greg Green book, not sure, but I remember those guys were TOTALLY AGAINST IT in their books.

I tried it and now I am defoliating any plants destined for the flower room.

RBDF do you have any scientific data to support your claims?
has it been filed in triplicate with the proper agency to have it confirmed

cause i think your talking stink...

it so obviously DOES NOT WORK defoliating leaf pruning whatever you want to call it the results you are seeing are imaginary they are the results of youre longing for a more natural growth pattern quit lying to yourself and other in this thread. i am the way and the light. i am the sheppard and you are the sheep. i will keep you safe and fat. i will keep you from falling off the edge of the earth dont worry.... and your plants look sick too.




thats what id say if i was sooo far up my own joke hole i couldnt see the outside world and take the time to marvel at what other people are doing that are in many ways the same as myself, and others different, but all successful in their own ways.

sometimes living in a vaccuum is nice. sometimes it means you are separated from reality...

i live in the real world. where wtf DUDE SAYS ITS WORKING FOR HIM!!!!
WTF right
LOLOLOLOLOL

did he just say it works for him?
nah........

hes lying to us.

choices always were a problem for you. what you need is someone strong to guide you. deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow. what you need is someone strong to guide you.....

i looked into my crystal ball....

it tells me you used to NOT defloiate/leaf prune.
is this true?
and you recall the results of those endeavors clearly in your mind.....
is this true?
i see....
i see...
i see you tried defoliating/leaf pruning, and saw better/positive results, and from then on have continued the practice without regard to returning to your non defoliating/leaf pruning ways? is that true?

why would you not to return to non defoliating/leaf pruning?
the crystal ball does not tell me this....


let me know where im wrong por favor....
im gonna smoke some more oil, spray some neem, and get ready for the car show tomorrow woohoo


ps if anyone doesnt like my posts just hit me w a neg rep. man up. its cool. i appreciate knowing who has different views/experiences. you never know... i might go thru your posts & albums and understand your point of view. Or i just might drop some douchebag bombs all over hahahaha im like a box of chocolates you never know what youre gonna get

right on all accounts. Truly healthy plants can handle defoliation without a misstep. Why would I return to a practice that was a negative gain?

Whodare you notice that st3ve's posting yet we have never seen his defoilating grow lol yo st3ve post some pics or it never happened don't worry i am sure interpol isn't worried about your micro grow hahahaha

I told you I don't post pics, I never have. It doesn't matter though, many many people in this thread HAVE posted pics and you still don't believe.

No limit or experience with ????? Trust me i have experience with lol
again i stress what is obviously unclear to you and some believers of defoilating it goes against all horticultural practices
also this is a bunch of BS saying you cannot do a side by side experiment WHY NOT what is limiting factors Veg times ??? What. This is why no experiments or side by sides has ever bin conducted cause in reality it would be a waste of time. In all seriousness why bother defoilating learn to train a plant so all bud sites are at light level i can guarntee you you tri fold yields compared to defoilating a plant who gives a crap about lower bud site in reality there never mature enough anyways even come harvest time and trust me chopping half of plant is not going to make a difference waiting few more weeks in hopes of lower bud sites to mature cause they won't they never have nor never will
so now you look at your girls in flower and see lower bud development but in reality there small and will remain small 1 - 3" bud when dried doesn't even stay on drying table your picking it up off the floor that is what you call buds ????? for many we either make hash or throw it into our teas for plant food but i am sure you add that as weight lol what ever man

I said you have no experience with THIS technique, and lots of experience with other techniques.

and as I've told you many times, I'll never do a side by side because all I would be doing is throwing away yield for some rude internet nobody. I"m not here to convince anyone. THe op shared his successes and they help me out alot. What do I have to prove to you?

But hey, you said you can GUARANTEE me TRIFOLD yields with training instead of defoliating. I'm up for that one for sure!! :) How can we set this up? And what is your guarantee?

When a defoliators hits 2.5-3# per light come get me, maybe I'll consider it, or maybe when they can pull 100grams per square foot.


Have fun circle jerking each other, faggots.

Really, it seems you'd be happy just being able to hit 1gpw?

I reported your post for your blatant disrespect to board members. Please grow up..

You're so pompous its saddening that you feel the need to swing your epeen in an internet forum such as this. Its sad.. you have so much knowledge to share.

just because you can't make this work in your garden doesn't mean others can't.
