Fwiw. Indoor I prune. I wouldn't call it defoliation only to help with air flow and light penetration.
Outdoor I really cannot see any benefit to it. Airflow and light are not really a concern.
Personally I don't buy into the theory that plants divert more energy to other bud sites. I mean plant processes happen and as long as there are adequate nutrients etc for those processes I can't see any reason there would be a change.
To me that's no different than saying giving your plant more nutes will make it grow bigger buds. A healthy plant does not divert more energy than it normally does.
I get the tomatoe reference but also fail to see how it applies to cannabis.
Pruning and defoliation are different. I do agree that selective pruning may increase yeilds by allowing better light penetration and airflow. But I also feels this mostly applies to indoor and would not be a concern so much with outdoor
That's ok with me. Just to be clear here you are stating that a plant will increase its bud growth rate and overall yield by defoliating it? So if I cut away everything but one stem and bud site I would get more yield from that than if I did nothing?The published peer reviewed scientific research disagrees with you. Sorry.
Also are you taking a peer published review based on indoor findings and suggesting it applies to outdoor? Because the variables are substantially different.The published peer reviewed scientific research disagrees with you. Sorry.
YES! I love it when people think for themselves, I am so happy I am going to smoke a bowl and pretend Aqua man is with me getting sky high.....!Also are you taking a peer published review based on indoor findings and suggesting it applies to outdoor? Because the variables are substantially different.

Read plenty. I wasn't making it personal. I guess resorting to personal attacks is your evidence? Can you please share with me a scientific paper of your claims? Or at least some more than a vague statement that the plants diverts its energy? There is a lot more to it than that.Nope. Every single paper I read indoor and outdoor both say the exact same thing. Ignore the science all you want, no skin off my nose. I'm not going to argue with someone who obviously won't or can't listen to reason.
If you could find a scientifically peer reviewed paper that supports your strange claims I would appreciate it. Nothing short of evidence is going to convince me. From what I can see there is none.
It's easy to do, go find some peer reviewed papers on the topic of pruning plants, more specifically fruiting plants.
If you find something that supports what you're babbling on about please share it.
Till then, I'll trust science over some rando internet guy who is saying the exact opposite of all known research.

Again pruning and defoliation are not the same.
And I am listening but you are not providing anything to listen to. Just blanket statements and regurgitating the phrase peer reviewed scientific studies. Give me something to listen to I'm all ears
Personal attack? Where? I did no such thing.
I'm listening. Like I said give me something to listen to. Not just some random internet guys opinion and blanket statementssomeone who obviously won't or can't listen to reason.
If by babbling you mean sharing my opinion. So is it fair to say you are also babbling?If you find something that supports what you're babbling on about please share it.
I agree with this.I'll trust science over some rando internet guy
Agreed I didn't even read it but going to assume it has to do with breaking dominance.^^^^ this up here is in veg
^^^^This up here is when a plant is in flower.
This is how I do it mostly, not always.
You do know that wikipedia is unreliable right? In fact most colleges will not accept any research using wikipedia.First I would start by learning that pruning is what you're doing g when you remove growth from a plant.
If you get the chance give it a read, it would give insight, that is all.Agreed I didn't even read it but going to assume it has to do with breaking dominance.
Did you read my posts. I agree pruning to allow for light and airflow is important.... More so in indoor grows.First I would start by learning that pruning is what you're doing g when you remove growth from a plant.
I skimmed it over. I agree with everything in there as far I can seeIf you get the chance give it a read, it would give insight, that is all.
