That's why I didn't really defoliate on my first grow especially during flower. I treat the leaves as a buffer between me and the buds. The leaves would tell me what was wrong and what I fucked up, and I would try to fix it before it got a chance to affect my buds. And it would feed them if I forgot. It seemed as though things would effect the leaves first before the buds but I never really knew if it was true...The leaves go from feeding when young (source) to storing and redistributing nutrients later (sink).
And I wanted to say since this argument is not advanced as usually labeled but something we read as new growers and wonder about that the more leaves left on the plant through the whole cycle the more chances mistakes will not hurt yield. The leaves will feed the plant when we screw it up. That’s why they store nutrients. To feed their flowers if no nutrients are available.

Agree, some of the most frostless buds typical:D with sativas as compared to indicas has been the weed that spun me out since the early days of my toking. A good indica will always typically out frost a sativa but some of the best mind f*** weed I have smoked was minimal frost and was indeed sativas. So frost factor isn't proportional to potency. :smoking::fire::fire::fire::fire: by the time we were getting thai styk in the states there wasn't a very frosty array of trikes but that shyt would send you on a great ride.Absolutely the leaves will go before the buds. The plants pants only mission in life is to catch pollen with its flowers.
Even if the damage climbes to the bud leaves and they yellow and maybe even some tip burn you can still usually salvage some ok flowers.
Seems they get frostier from the stress sometimes. But unfortunately more frost does not equal more potency.
primarily the leaves are the plants solar panels to drive PS and feed the plant.
True and false. Unless the leaf is getting adequate lighting, being shaded by other parts of the plant for instance, it will take energy away from the other leaves that have to support it.
Cannabis requires around 200PAR of light to keep growing taller, so I would assume that all leaves on a plant that get less light then this, will be sucking the energy out from the top leaves.
I hope this reasoning will be enough to convince you otherwise..This is not correct. For one the leaves are mostly transparent to light. It passes through them and the plant takes what it needs as it passes through.
I hope this reasoning will be enough to convince you otherwise..
"photosynthesis, to create energy from carbon dioxide and sunlight. This energy, in the form of glucose, is used by the plant to grow and fuel the necessary reproductive activities of the plant".
If a leaf does not get sufficient amount of PAR light and/or CO2, it will not be able to photosynthesize. Meaning that it can't produce enough energy on its own to sustain itself. However glucose is a mobile energy source, and other plant leaves can transport glucose to those leaves that are unable to create it by themselves. By doing so, this energy is not used on developing roots or bud growth.
Leaves can take away energy (glucose) from other parts of the plant if they are not able to create their own energy (glucose).
Every time I read one of your posts I wish Google Translate had a Scientist to Stoner option.:)Blue light has more energy because it is short wave and passes through leaves easier than red light does which is long wave. This is also the reason the oceans appear blue. Red light penetrates less than blue light does.
In response to partial plant shading, the lack of phytochrome A does not directly induce leaf senescence but alters the fine-tuning of chlorophyll biosynthesis
