Today was day 21 of flower of the strain ICED OUT and I defoliated all the leaves off the plants. I have so many questions since this is the first time Ive ever done it like this. Normally I just trim some off. Will this actually produce more yield? Is there any tricks I should do to produce more? I plan on doing a 67 day flower cycle. How much bigger will the colas get? Check out the before and after picture and let me know what you think!

That was a pinch overkill , why did you strip off so many leaves , i may be wrong , and hate to be the first one to tell you this....
But you took off a little too much

Also seems a bit overcrowded ,, its like you super topped them to creste more budsites , then didnt really get the advantage ,
They stretched like crazy , and each stem has little bud.....
I think your past the trick stage....

Hopefully you will get a few strong heads building up and youll be fine....

Were your leaves yellowing and freaked you out , so you stripped them ?

Now that i think of it , if you just frame out the lower 2/3 rds of the plant and just lookat the top 1/3 rd , it may be alright....

Just seems wierd to see so many naked stems taking up soo much space , that seems like a waste , but the tops can be good.....

Ask others opinions , again just my feelings ,i can be wrong

Why don't you strip your plants down like that and show us how they do since you seem to be an advocate of this, teach us!

I think you are looking at it wrong...he already did it..no sense telling him it's wrong..it's pointless..he did it because either over vegged or lights to high..out grew his area... stripping them to me makes perfect sense..and I do strip my plants..it's not a new thing..check it out...we all grow different,that's what makes us unique...sorry you think you know it all about everyone..this site isn't for arguing..it's helping and learning,, bickering is neither..so..

No need to start personal attacks, we're just talking here

You mean because he already at the very least severely stunted them and set them back and diminished his yield, don't tell him that?

I thought you said this was about learning, so shouldn't we tell him the truth so he learns from this?

Man I love leaves. Fan leaves are where the power collects during 12/12. A shame the nugs are so smal now. Defoling just the underside of the net would have been a much better option.
