I dont. I dont change anything but how many leaves are there.I get little to no larf now. Solid bud right below huge fan leaves. I think there is middle ground for his personally even in a fully crowded room.
Do you need to up nutrients to compensate?
Spare change???Spare change the defol king
i do now@SPARECHANGE will rock your world!
You dig!!!
Again? Can he not see the difference? Another snide comment @1diesel1
I have not tested bothThis seems like more of a hydro/dwc technique than something that would work in soil. Not knocking what you are doing, just seems like the recovery and growth you get off hydro compared to soil would make a huge difference. Have you tried both to test or no?
I'll go to bat for ya OP.
I'm a veteran grower. 10+ yrs growing, and extractions. Up until 1yrs ago, I never ever plucked a fan leaf. Maybe tucked out the way. I only topped, supercrooped, and lollipoopped. I NOW do a leaf strip 2 weeks in veg before flip. Then again between week 2 and weeks 3. I pluck every fan leaf (exactly like you've done). I leave all sugar leaves, or leaves from new shoots.
I now have zero larf. My larf is now usable thumb size nuggets, not destined for the trim bin.
I now encourage leaf stripping. BUT there is a time and place for it.
Before strip
2 weeks before harvest
Leaf stripped room
An uptake in micro is what im doing and seems like a logical thing to do. Scientifically speakingI get little to no larf now. Solid bud right below huge fan leaves. I think there is middle ground for his personally even in a fully crowded room.

Lol can’t dig in that teepee! No dirt , seriously pulls some nice lookin bud off with little foliage!@SPARECHANGE will rock your world!
You dig!!!
You gotta really read & think about what SC says, but he's filled with knowledge from what I've seen@SPARECHANGE will rock your world!
You dig!!!
Lol, Lol, sorry. Leave them if some are turning yellow pluck them. Maybe a week before harvest you can due some more serious de leafing. The last month outdoors I start plucking yellow leaves. Day before I get all the big stuff off that I can reach. Some are too tall. Only reason I do this is I find it easier when the plants are standing and hydrated.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!

..Decalyxing is also incredible. Will produce the BIGGEST fan leaves you’ve ever fucking seen.
Im not growing outdoors first off, and my leaves have never turned yellow because of lack of nutrients or age... They are gone by then and the top fan leaves never get old because its new growthLol, Lol, sorry. Leave them if some are turning yellow pluck them.

Lol, it's ok. Since your indoors maybe you should take more off earlier?Im not growing outdoors first off, and my leaves have never turned yellow because of lack of nutrients or age... They are gone by then and the top fan leaves never get old because its new growth
Sorry dude, my point was maybe you should wait longer before you do such a extreme de leafing. Sun leaves convert light to productive energy for the plants. You will lose a lot of yield doing this so early in flower. Good luck. Try not to take everything so personal. We have all made mistakes along the way. Peace and out.Im not growing outdoors first off, and my leaves have never turned yellow because of lack of nutrients or age...

No they dont... thats where I believe you are wrong. i waited 21 days into flowering and they dont need the energy if you are replacing the stuff they use energy to makeSorry dude, my point was maybe you should wait longer before you do such a extreme de leafing.

Lol, ok dude. You know more than the rest of us. LolNo they dont... thats where I believe you are wrong. i waited 21 days into flowering and they dont need the energy if you are replacing the stuff they use energy to make
Nice crops.Lol, ok dude. You know more than the rest of us. Lol
