I did a defoliation side by side test by removing top leaves for added light penetration. I got reduced yields on the defoliated side, even though there were a lot more bud sites getting light. I do not recommend pruning leaves for added light penetration.
This doesn't mean that pruning could be beneficial, as there are so many more ways of doing it. I will be starting a lollipopping side by side test in the next month, to see how that pans out.
Defoliation Side By Side - Bushy Plants
I have done A LOT of searching, and as we all know we still haven't got a conclusive answer on whether defoliation is beneficial or not. Most of the side by side's have been done pretty badly. People have defoliated tall plants that don't even fill out the entire canopy, pretty much negating...www.thcfarmer.com
Same. I only cut large ones that cover prime growing areas. About 2 or 3 weeks in to veg, and one around when I flush. I plan on doing one soon, but these damn foxtails wont calm down.

The lollipopping test will have identical clones from a single mother plant, just like my earlier defoliation test. You can read up the linked thread to get an idea of my testing methods in detail.Awesome. Looking forward to those results. Are they from the same mom when doing this comparison?
