"all they got to do is look back at some of your other grows, too see you grow Huge buds, every time you grow."
In my limited experience and education (i.e., a lot of reading) I'm getting the impression that defol can lead to bigger buds, while non-defol can lead to bigger yields even if some of that is considered larf (which I use for cooking). Is that generally (not absolutely) true or am I just imagining shit? -
Right on the money, again, Mate, great answer . That subject is kinda like butth-les, everybody's got one.
Some strains it works on better than others, too, like you said.
Whenever them tips get more light ,they gonna be bigger buds, -
NAKEDGARDENER Yeah, lot of nice folk here. oldjarhead100 is a keen defoliator too and has great insights as has D.A.A.S.69 . For me defoliating is a tool but just one among quite a few. For some strains it won`t work well, for others no issues but there are really only 2 sides on this one. Fore and against and little wiggle room in between. You either fit it in with your other techs or not but it`s not for everyone. Personally, you will use it only if you see it working for you and with the yield numbers above for non-defoliating I woundn`t see the necessity. However, If you think you could use this tech to eventually equal or surpass this, then I`d think about doing it. Whatever you do, if it involves defoliation you will have your detractors. Also, a lot has changed in 20 yrs. Old school isn`t always right in the modern world. As an example, 5 days post evil defol and there`s nought wrong with this lass but detractors would say I had stopped growth and potentially stunted her. Tad difficult as I had to increase height of light due to steady growth. There`s a lot of folk that would rather pee in the wind than admit they may have to adapt their viewpointLeave a comment:

D.A.A.S.69 Defoliating auto`s? You mad, impetuous fool you
Gods, that takes balls the size of watermelons. Autos? Man, impressed

PaganRich, Morning Mate, Yeah your right, those detractors just can't handle it, lol
It can't grow with if you remove leaves, how many times have you heard that ? what a crock of sh-t mate, all they got to do is look back at some of your other grows, too see you grow Huge buds, every time you grow.
Photos can handle better than autos though, but not by much, I defoliate the crap out of my autos too, every now an then I get nice size buds on my autos.
Nothing like good soil, proper light, and good breeze , removing leaves don't bother me a bit. Your plants love it, if you ask me.
Stay mellow PaganRich -
Hassinator Hi mate, the way I defol is a lot harder than others and isn`t for everyone. However, these 2 pics are the Chemdog Millionaire. She was robustly defoliated, flipped and the time between the 2 pics around 96hrs or 4 days roughly. So, all this growth is on top of her adjusting to 12/12. I think that you can get away with this based on strain, airflow, light distance and microbes in the soil. She hasn`t halted or stopped growing yet you listen to the detractors and she should be in shock and not doing anything. That`s clearly not happening here.Leave a comment:

NAKEDGARDENER Happy to mate. Which thread of yours are you talking about? -
PaganRich. I was hoping you’d put your spin on my thread about defoliation or not. I have defoliate all my three gals at least 3 times now and the result for me is thicker heavier leaf mass lots of small colas or future colas, I liked the idea of defoliation but after more research and seeing the results with my current training regime after three months of veg. Can see no value, and am preparing them for flower so I hope to hear from you on any comparisons that we can show
