lol.

So topping, supercropping, fimming and bending arent against plant evolution? All commonly accepted ways to train your plant and when we mention one more way its considered blasphemy?

Thats like having an intellectual speed limit, makes no sense...

To me a leaf is there for a reason and that reason is photosynthesis
It has been scientifically proved.

What reason would you pull a leaf from a cannabis plant ? and show me some scientific evidence to back your claim not hearsay nor personnal experience.

Vapedg13 knocks down a serious grow...I'm impressed by what I've seen around! I'm guessing that a dense indica likes her fans pulled, whether it's genetic evolution or the hand of god, go ahead rip off some leaf!! Diesels like topping, pinching and bending, there ain't much leaf but larf!

Peace homies

The problem many growers face is that they take all the leafs on on one day. You have to do it slowly. A few in veg. Few more in week 1...Let em have some B vit. More in week 2. Few more in week 4...Done.

Doing it all on one day will just shock em.

You cant understand from an intellectual perspective, so you cast doubt as an inherent response...

Interesting..

They say pics tell a thousand words.

Here is what I do in veg.. PULL all major fan leaves, then I continue pulling the top fan leaves to allow the plant to "fill in". Topping merely brings additional grow tips already growing even with the canopy. Defoliating, sparks life into every grow tip that exists on the plant. I pull all the leaves in veg, and have been pulling any leaves with stems after the stretch, nothing comes off the plant until after the stretch, my boy DHF recommended this and its the truth.

ChemD veg (bloom day1)

Same plant in bloom. Im looking at close to 4oz's from what ive seen in the past, and If I do, with enough room to fit 8 around my light, Id say thats close to 2lbs around a single 600w vert.

Lets see you do that Doc. Ya know, its not so much the arrogance, rather the reluctance to accept logic so quickly, you need to work on that..

ChemD bloom (same plant) 45days

No, this was my first experience.

Proof is in the pudding. Guess Im a leaf puller lol...

The plant would not have had the ability to yield as much, had I not trained by defoliating, this is an objective observation.
