So, that Goji that has the triple top coming out of the center... I somehow managed to miss the nut sack hanging off the bottom of the middle top of the three. :banghead: Someone on IG pointed it out.
That's three out of four of the Goji's culled, sure would suck if the last one was a male too, what kind of shit luck would that be? lol
The only one remaining is the one I had figured for a male to begin with, super vigorous, growing taller than everything else in there, wouldn't be the first time a female did that on me though.

Went an gave you a vote, to be fair it is my favorite pic of the 3. I remember that grow because I knew I was getting the cut. I hope I get mine to look that good. Any tips on her? Nice avatar btw lol.

Thank you sir, much appreciated. I don't really have any tips bro, it's been a little bit now since I was growing her and I never did anything special for her. Never struck me as needing any special attention, I'm sure you'll do just fine with her too.

This shit has me thinking about the way I'm doing things. Not that I defoliate as a general practice anyway but, maybe I don't need to lollipop so much either?
I've finally seen all the proof I need that defoliation is not a good thing. I've long held the belief that every fan leaf is feeding the section of plant that it's growing from through photosynthesis. I've seen so many people talk about defoliation helping the plant and I think it's just the opposite actually. Some people seem to think the buds need to have light getting to them but, buds don't absorb light, leaves do.
Two of my stunted Tokyo's are showing me each side of the issue, they are both about the same size, only around a foot tall, one has been pretty well stripped of fans, only 3 or 4 remain at the top, the other one hasn't had any stripped off. Both top buds are pretty much the same size. Of course, there are still plenty of leaves on the bud sights, but the fan leaves have been removed though.
On the one that still has all the fans, the lower buds are plumping up nicely even though those buds can't see the light for shit. On the other, that's been stripped down, the lower buds are looking rather pathetic, not filling out very well at all, looking like typical garbage popcorn buds even though they're much more exposed to getting light.
I definitely like to do some lollipopping but, I've been thinking about back before I started doing that I had some Cataract Kush that would fill out like crazy on the lower stuff. I never removed a leaf that wasn't more than 50% damaged, (which came from the old grow bible), and on one plant in particular with that CK I had buds on the lowest branches, (growing out from just above the soil line), that were as big around as an American half dollar and solid.
Hmmm...??? My two cents on the issue.

I've been playing with defoliation lately too. I know some of it is genetics, some plants just stack all the way down. I'm doing less than I used to though. Makes sense, leaves are solar panels. I think on my next run I'm gonna try my best to not exfoliate. It will be a monocrop so .maybe I can try both and compare.
