I dont defoliate plants! I only take off fan leaves the last 2 weeks (during flush) of flowering.
if you take off fan leaves during vegetative grow, the branch that comes from that fan leave will grow less.. thats my experience!!

Im sorry but if that was the case then over evolution plants would naturally lose its leafs during VEG and also in Flower which is not the case now is it???? Remember a plant is really there to produce as much seed as it possibly can to carry on its off springLeaf plucking during veg is to set up the plant's structure for highly compact bud sites all over the plant. The brief stunting is well worth the price once you see the plant explode in flower.
And what if they do lose leaves naturally during veg or anytime, how do they react ?Im sorry but if that was the case then over evolution plants would naturally lose its leafs during VEG and also in Flower which is not the case now is it????

You mention high;y compact bud sites lets imagine you have a 3 foot plant your light is @ is around 4.5 to 5 feet you skin all them leafs of the plant your going to have a tight bud with light litterally 3.5 to 5 feet away from lower bud sites lol

now, some of you guys may be using scissors to cut your shit off.
think twice.
if you had your arm cleanly sliced off by a sword, well, not only is your arm laying on the ground all useless, but you'd have gaping holes in viens and arteries aka blood loss galore, and thered be a huge amount of exposed tissue for bacteria and other shit that wasnt the sword to kill you
now, if your arm was crushed/pinched/pressed off, like between two doors, thered be a lot less open wound leaking all over the place, and thered be a lot less exposed tissue for bacteria to party on. and, your arm would still be severed. win win. lol

LOL...it seems the debate is divided into two camps: Those that "theorize" vs those that "do it".
If you train, do lst and defoliate with a screen or even two you end up doing the most work. When has hard work not paid off for real? Its the same here imo. Defoliating takes time and consistency. If you take the time it is rewarded. Been growing 9 years, an unmolested plant has always had more larf and less density than a plant with lsr done weeks 1-3 and defoliating weeks 5-8. I get pure ogs to almost 2 per 1k and i know ppl who are stoked about a pound.
This post is a cornerstone of the whole debate. We've all read hundreds of posts like this but so far not a single side by side has been demonstrated properly. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying: "Bullshit!" and i most certainly feel that you know what you're talking about but still.
Could someone please give us a proper mf side by side ffs so we can all learn something?
