Liberty Haze-Extreme Defoliation Grow Experiment In Pics

No Title

Looked bushy so a de-fol after just over one week of 12/12 and kicking nicely through stretch......pleasurable relaxed grow so far even when off the boil due to toothache (Man, that was grim...breathe like a badger`s arse )

Wow Pagan, the first thing that caught my eyes were those massive stems. Is like a jungle in there. Can't wait to see the end result. Awesome grow my friend. Sorry to hear about your toothache. I know personally that they suck. Good health to you.
 
Vegdude 1, transitioning has worked very well for me. It's my first time to transition our takeoff foliation. I think the loaf of brea I think the loaf of bread comment sums it up
 
Kingfish....I`ve been using safety pins to pressurize the stems...you should see the main one, nearly 3/4`s of a thumbs width I`d guess, plus lots of moving air and light....so far, so good.

All hail Keef Treez in my humble opinion and his thoughts on defoliating...attached is another project running Critical Kush I believe....true blue organics. Pistils are now small but becoming very numerous, loads of bud sites, run along side Liberty Haze and treated as such except fed my very odorous compost tea (attached to show for the heck of). Defoliated exactly as others and achieving same results....this was trimmed 2-3 hours before this photos so you can see plant is not intimidated or stressed by what I`m doing....shown as a comparison that de-fol can be embraced from the word go by plants and produce consistent, positive results...be mellow :)

The first photo is the Liberty Haze 48hrs later. The de-fol has had a very positive effect and the growth spurt from stretch is coming along well. Second week of stretch though no pistils as yet but happy with. Photo on right is the Critical Kush I posted yesterday. This looks nicer to me than the other, stems look solid and good bud sites.....this one`s getting me looking forward to trying...oh yeah

Structural support added to Critical Kush plus assistance with spacing....no LST using net even though still in stretch. Plan now is to just keep de-fol as required plus soon bring in a de-humid which I prefer to run through most of the flower stage due to how bloody wet this country is

Looking good PR. Hopefully you have a dehumidifier for the back end of flowering.

That plant in the front right has shot out some colas for sure!

Liberty Haze at start of de-fol and introduction of guidance/ support net. Note: This is not a Scrogging attempt just time to move towards buds forming and space

Placed in tent and then net tie loosely in place....funnily enough I found this easier than a net in place for upward growth from start, for overall ease

Twenty fours hours on for Critical Kush being introduced to the net and post drinking a gallon of compost tea which is a powerhouse of nasal nasties, equivalent to a Cannabis version of Red Bull by the looks of it and 24 hrs post a de-fol as well

Photo #1 is Critical Kush-Organic teas seem to have given stronger stems, more so than the Liberty Hazes though this could be genetics. Netting actually hampered me so removed again...sigh...other photo`s are of the Liberty Haze which will probably need defoliating heavily again by 2 maybe 3 further days of growth...these are chemical nutrient plants but still growing well but not as I would have expected considering. Last photo is the dreaded fungal compost tea just entering day 2 and beginning to honk rather nicely but looking sinisterly like it`s alive

I have a question. What is the recovery time to get the plant back to the size it was before you defoliated it ?
 
To be honest I have had a slightly slower bounce back this time with the Liberty`s than the Critical however I did the 3 Liberty`s roughly together and wasn`t in the right mindset...bit rushed. In veg the bounce back to leaf up is almost instant, say 20 minutes, to defol again can be and has been as little as 4 days...most I`ve wait will be this time with the Liberty`s probably around 8-9 days but this pict shows then after 5 and it is requiring longer to fill out than before which may be due to the stretch going on at the same time...don`t know. However Critical was defoliated today and that was following the rough timeline of previous defols of 6 days. So Kingfish, 6 days from roughly week 2 onwards in veg stage and so far in flowering as well
