Pretty sure those will be your infamous last words.
enjoy your twigs and berries. ✌

I’ve tried. Not for me, but I do thin leaves.I mean he's not totally wrong.
Schwazzing. It's a fake word but it's a real training method.

LOL when you have questions ill just laugh cause I already told you how to do it. Post lots of pics.
One plant, the only one I've grown, 59 grams trimmed and dried after about 8 weeks veg and 60 days floweringWhats your best relative yield now -g/sqft/day?
You're killing it. Just keep cutting all them leaves off. LOLNo problem, laff all you want. You're not the first troll on the internet. At least now I know not to waste energy asking you. But good luck to you, I'll just continue to learn like I have, and asking for help from more experienced growers that actually want to contribute and share their hard earned knowledge. But I've only harvested one plant, and I've got 3 flowering now, and I've already learned that "clean up the bottom and leave the solar panels alone" isn't the best suggestion for every grow.

I've said a thousand times, only overcrowded plants need defoliating. I tried to help, but if you think cutting all the leaves off will help then go for it. Until you've actually grown a few plants different ways, you don't know the best way.You're killing it. Just keep cutting all them leaves off. LOL
Absolutely true, those are my thoughts exactly. I want to hear advice from more experienced growers, and I've been listening. Some say the same thing you do, defoliate only as little as necessary. Others say "Super crop them" or similar. And the real truth is, I don't know which of you to believe. I don't know any of you from Adam. So I listen, I try to apply reason to what I've heard and choose the advice that seems best. That's why I grew my first plant the same way you suggest. I only took off dying leaves or leaves that overlapped and crowded. But most of the flowers I got were "popcorn" buds. I'm not happy with how it turned out, so I'm trying something different. In about 6 weeks I'll find out if what I'm doing worked. It's too soon to be sure, but it does seem to be working.Until you've actually grown a few plants different ways, you don't know the best way.

Exactly, I've personally found that defoliating helps cut harvest time down a whole lot and I've personally seen an increase in yields. But too many variables there.I'm not going to enter this fray/discussion, but the methods should all be learned and evaluated for strain ect. For all Farmers.
Didn't you say your first was no ventilation, poor lighting, and pm issues? Did you fix those problems?Absolutely true, those are my thoughts exactly.

Yes, my first plant had no ventilation. One 1200 watt blurple light. I don't know what pm means, but one issue was the plant was too bushy, with many overlapping leaves, especially in the center of the plant. I got WPM, and now it occurs to me that must be what you mean. This round I've added a fan, two more lights, heavy training, and weekly spritzes with Neem oil. And again, I just think defoliating is a tool to be used when necessary, not every time.Didn't you say your first was no ventilation, poor lighting, and pm issues? Did you fix those problems?
No ventilation is a huge problem. You can't get a good yield without acquit light and ventilation whether you defoliate or not. Blaming your poor yield on not defoliating is the wrong answer. Fix the problems and don't overcrowd, you won't have to defoliate much at all.Yes, my first plant had no ventilation. One 1200 watt blurple light.

You should do a side by side comparison with identical clones."only overcrowded plants need defoliating"
I dont think that is necessarily true. At least thats not what I have found.
View attachment 1109606 I defoliate heavy at flip and then again at day 21.
Blaming your poor yield on not defoliating is the wrong answer.
