The defoliation I've done

[mad2T]

Hi,
nice job man,
very nice training....
I was just wondering why do you insist so much of cutting everything give'em a chance dude, let her choose and then train her,
Defoliation is a great technique and as I see you've done it perfect.
but maybe you shouldn't decide too early

[Iammygod]

Lol.
Too early? Im at the end of week 4th of flowering. You know what my problem is? Although Nebula has explained almost everything in GWE but i think growing plants need some experiences at least that i dont have. Idk how many leaves my plants need to successfully finish flowering. The more leaves the more light blockers, the less leave, the less light receivers. So if forming buds need leaves it have to be an ideal bud/leaf ratio.

I can only understand numbers many articles I've ever read hasn't told me such numbers like bud/leaf ratio. That's way i say everyone needs a little experience

[mad2T]

dude, there's no problem....you're right, it's the matter of experience.
that's what I dealing all this little time... I decided to choose 4 LEDs from different angels instead of my one old 1000w hps...from top
and I defoliate very few branches and leaves


But that's why I'm here, why we're all here
to share and use experiences...

I'm totally a new grower, I'm in my 5th growth.
but by using and reading different experiences I've made it.

again,
really nice job done....
good Luck

I understand. More light fixtures have better side radiations altogather than one but thay also have less penetration because each fixture has less power(watt). I'm going to say i think doing defoliation in a right way has better effect than adding more fixture with totally the same watt. Adding more fixtures can raise yield and this doesn't mean you don't need defoliation when you have added (many) more fixtures. By removing blockers defoliation allows light to pentrate and it independent form number of fixtures can be done for bigger yield.

Thanks for replying

I would take fans off that have stems...one for two
you have a whole bunch that could go...

That look great!!

[Green75]

I was wondering when we'd hear from you again....they look healthy..very healthy...glad previous problems are gone!!!

[Iammygod]

Yeah bro. With your help they recovered completely before i initiate flowring.

[Iammygod]

I could have longer colas but i defoliated em little wrongly at the beginning of flowering. You think i can reach 600gr?

[Green75]

Hard to say man...

[Nartak]

I have no idea what you can reach but man those are two sexy ladies!!!

Very nice grow, still far too many leaves for my preference....all buds including lowers are targets to be exploited by light, just top third denies you two third yield, no light, no buds however its not just chopping but also nutes for me....Sharpen those trimmers and think of Conan...right behind Green`s advice on this and worth checking his grow pics, good info there...keep up the excellent work mate
