i never said that that was the only thing they do. i think i even suggested that they do much moreNot that it matters in context to the OP (but this thread has been off the rails for awhile, so WTF) - but, no this isn't a fact. A fact is an observation that has been repeatedly confirmed and generally accepted as “true" (at least as close to truth as one can get in science). No one can say as a "fact" what Trichomes are for. You can't readily observe why they're on the plant . Trichomes can also help insulate the plant from freezing, protecting the plant from wind and heat by reducing evaporation, and protect plants from herbivorous insects. There's just way to many variables explaining why trichomes might be advantageous to plants, to suggest one explanation is a fact.

So they’ve confirmed it but there’s still more we are unaware ofim pretty sure the scientific community has confirmed trichome functions on a marijuana plant, and they do all that you listed and possibly more we are unaware of yet.
great! now you can troll on someone else post. you got proven wrong and you still want to talk out your assSo they’ve confirmed it but there’s still more we are unaware ofthat statement sums it all up for me

Not trying to be disrespectful, please dont take this the wrong way, but this is the point I was making and what I think a few other people are having issues with, if you are only "pretty sure" about something than it is not a fact, it is a belief at best. There is nothing wrong with this, I'm not suggesting you disregard logical or anecdotal evidence but they are not the same as fact, they are the starting points from which the search for facts begins. We are still in the infancy of researching marijuana, the scientific community hasn't repeated the studies supporting your statements on the scale that is required to call something a fact. To be more clear, it can be a fact that a study came to a specific conclusion but that doesn't make that conclusion a fact. If the conclusions of all scientific studies are to be believed than there are an awful lot of contradicting facts out there.im pretty sure the scientific community has confirmed trichome functions on a marijuana plant, and they do all that you listed and possibly more we are unaware of yet.
You haven’t proven anything yet, we’ll you have but I won’t mention what that is. I’m still waiting for your confirmed scientific fact thoughgreat! now you can troll on someone else post. you got proven wrong and you still want to talk out your ass
Here is some confirmed scientific factYou haven’t proven anything yet, we’ll you have but I won’t mention what that is. I’m still waiting for your confirmed scientific fact though
In science, a fact is a repeatable careful observation or measurement (by experimentation or other means), also called empirical evidence. While there might be all kinds of widely accepted ideas and plausible explanations about why Cannabaceae have developed trichomes, none of these explanations are actual facts. Most likely there are multiple evolutionary (an actual theory by the way) reasons that the plant has developed trichomes, most of which you (nor I) know absolutely anything about. So making a bunch of declarative statements only makes you look foolish.its fact. period....

Looks tasty that’s for sureUpdate Day 10 (after complete defoliation) The fan leaves have grown back so much and so fast that it doesn’t even look like I defoliated at all. I might have to do another leaf strip within the next few days. I have been clipping a few here and there that I feel were blocking light. It’s crazy and I will definitely be doing this again

These are looking rather yummy too

Spot on!!!What subject would that be (as I never said squat about your grow)?
You started this thread by saying "I have so many questions since this is the first time Ive [sp] ever done it like this". A week later you're making all these declarative statements, most of which are complete nonsense. You don't seem to have even a cursory knowledge about cause-and-effect, and from your own admission, almost nothing about what you're currently doing.
There have been multiple post suggesting that defoliating allows light to get on the lower buds and increases yield. Maybe. Albeit empirical evidence suggest that stripping leaves off a cherry tree, will not produce larger cherries. An equally plausible explanation (just pulled out of my ass this minute) may be that cannabis plant jacks up bud production when it's leaves are stripped, as a defense mechanism. If leaves are yummy for deer and buds aren't, then it would make sense that if deer chews off a bunch of leaves, then the plant will produce more buds to defend against it's leaves being eaten. Now I have no idea if this explanation has any merit what so ever and I'd be a complete fool if I starting claiming that this was a fact because I notice deer don't eat my plants when I strip leaves.
I'm sure 99% of the respondents on this tread would have been excited and interested in your grow if you hadn't responded to every post like a narcissistic know-it-all.
