about trimming the leaves, need help....

hi! i have heard that "you don't want leaves on you're plant, you want the fruit (bud).
Does that mean i can remove all the leaves? I thought the leaves was the one producing photosynteziz

Don't believe everything you hear.

Only remove dead leaf and only trim all leaf after harvest. Do ask questions it's really important to get many myths answered.

U may not want leaves, but U absolutely need them to produce the big fruit.
I def defoliate throughout the grow. Also, I’m a fan of lollipopping, which eliminates the small, loose & fluffy buds that grow low on the plant. I despise trim jail and don’t wanna take the time to trim up a lot of larfy buds that won’t amount to anything.
The plant will put that energy into the tops, which is what we’re after anyway.
I don’t clip any leaves unless the plant is healthy and thriving. Follow that rule and you’ll be fine.

I believe they are referring to Schwazzing.

With myself , I only remove the leaves that are blocking light, to the tops of branches. I do minor clippings every week. But, yes trim only what you have to, are my thoughts. You need fan leaves, but if I have one blocking the top of a branch it's gone.

I remove interior leaves that are covering the bud sites and their leaves. The fans have done their job and the bud sites leaves will take care of the energy needs required for stacking. Example shown is day 39/96 auto grape crush

Awesome little tree there! A lot of bud in a short space. Tight nodes on that stalk. Well done!

 

[Metalman1]

Thanks. I'm giving it everything I got.

I'm an old cultivator from 30 years ago when it was illegal. Now it's legal in Minnesota. What I am finding fascinating is, combining my old knowledge, with all this info on the internet. Very interesting what info I was missing.

@Metalman1 No kidding!

Can anyone tell me, why I got 1 perfect seed, off of my last harvest of 3 plants, 2 months ago. I don't need seeds, but I was curious from a scientific point, if it would be as potent as the plant it came from ? 1 seed out of 3 Black gorilla's.

Rotelized perhaps. If so it' a girl. Who doesn't love magic beans?

Probably grew some nanners. A female plant can grow male flowers at anytime. The male flowers grow lil yellow bunches that have pollen in them, but not as much as a full male pollen sack. if one bud grows nanners it may fertilize the flowers close to it. Where 1 male pollen sack can do a whole 4x8 tent.

I had more than a lb of bud, and out of all of that I found only 1 ! I just thought that was strange.

I have a question for you guys. Today is day 46, since tap root in ground. What day would be a perfect time to go to 12 hrs, and why ? I'm shooting for 53 or so !
