Hey J you got any pics of the girls you defoilated would like to see how there doing and what stage of growth are they in ????
In your honest opinion , how long is the recovery process before they bounce back J......and......honestly just pulling all the fans with stems letting em fill in and take back off then do it again or to keep em a certain height, they fill in at every node with a new grow tip like a vine all the way up..

Do you strip em all at once and then let em bounce back then do it again ?......anyways......I know recovery time`s faster in veg , and trimming laterals while getting rid of sucker branches never stalled my plants at all when they were pruned and shaped before bein put in the flip rooms and blastin off during stretch.........so.......
Just tryin ta wrap my head around the process so the community as a whole can learn as well if it`s viable and works consistently.........but....
There`s gotta be a recovery period if yas strip em all at once and that`s where my concern is as far as how much time does it add to the veg/pre-veg process before the plants are big enough ta be flipped......anyways.......
Frosty the snowman`s been ALL up in yo closet sprinkling that sugar coating on dem bitches.......Keep up the good work Bro.......
Peace....Freds............
Honestly Freds, they can take up to a week to really take off again, maybe not quite that long but I run low powered lighting and, sure the new growth is far more uniform, but those with restricted or limited veg time will "possibly" suffer imo.. I have no real concerns as of right now with veg times, but I dont want to create the perception that this coming at no cost, they need to recover properly and so far, Im SERIOUSLY thinking of a co2 enriched veg room with HID lighting to up the anti and get these gals CRANKING out the grow tips..
With two months to veg with before I throw em in, I have 8 weeks on average to veg with, so when people see my small defoliated plants going into bloom, those would have been twice the size easily of the same plant not defoliated.. I think the defoliated plants flower better, or more uniformly, but thats an opinion..

Yea there has got to be a happy medium of defoliating vs veg time. I totally agree that there must be some advantages to defoliating in veg.
Has everybody checked out the massive defoliation thread?
I know the guy that started it take EVERY fan from rooted cut all the way through harvest and has impressive numbers... but... he is growing on small scale with super reflectivity and might achieve those numbers anyway.
Damn I think I am going to try this...
Im getting a larger Veg setup so I can really veg the plants at max speed, but Im gonna take my biggest yielders and just do one side monocropped with the other side having 8 diff varieties at all times..
