well I guess you could say it's research in a way. I mean from here on out it's picking up the nuances. I didn't invent this method.
i know my friend. i remember, its some other guy with 30 years of experience that did the work your guide was based on.
thats ok, no one will hold that against you
thing is tho bro...with great power comes great responsibility
you have had a record breaking growth in reputation on this site, and now you hold the title of 'the guy to go to' with regard to defoliation.
now its time to carry the torch yourself and discover something....anything that wasnt from someone else.
im not very good at this, it pretty much sounds horrible, what im trying to say is that your now the king of defoliation, not that other guy...we are looking to you for new technology on the matter.
dont be afraid to break ALL the rules your predecessor made. to be blunt i came to this on my own (mainly due to cash shortage and needing to smoke leaves, but as they say nessesity is the mother of all invention) and i only have a year of growing experience of my own.
you have managed to absorb that guys info and are in a far better position to forward this than anyone else.
im not trying to anger you, im trying to push you out of your comfort zone....lead us oh great defoliator =D

lol, you really did make me lol. I took no ill feeling from your post whatsoever. I was however, chatting with a friend in WoW and so didn't respond faster. So awfully sorry. I'll try to do better.
one thing i have noticed...if you defoliate every day. the plant does not grow vertically. this might be a way to even out a crops height and to prevent it growing too high when switching to flower.
follow your normal defol method, but use an emergency over-ride defol on plants that are outgrowing your plans.

Hey mate,
I like your rationale for your comments, and what youre saying is right in some cases.. See, I dont grow for big buds, I grow for BIG YIELD per single plant in a small space. Whether or not the buds are 2ft or 1ft isnt important, but it does help to have some large cola's from each Primary branch that was created in order to pull over 10 oz P/plant in 15 weeks or so. As you said, my last grow had a 60-75 day flower period, I pulled her on day 59 or 61 something like that ans she was an impressive yielding plant. Sure I lost alot of bud size as I didnt defoliate as much as I perhaps could have, but the top 1/3rd of my plant was all bud, so say about a 2.5 ft deep x 4.5ft wide of buds was my main production area, like a SOG, or SCROG, most growth removed below the top canopy and top canopy gets priority..
From 4 of my 2ft buds that was all the burglars left me, They weighed over 6oz dry, and I had another 2/3rds more in bud that was stolen, So my last girl would have EASILY given me 12 oz.
This current grow is taking shape similar to my last, I hope to replicate the results maybe even better it.. I normally only do 1 plant a time, and I need as much as I can from this to make it worthwhile.. 1 or 3 oz from a plant is nothing for us, we can toke upto 6 oz in about 3.5 mnths, hence, my need for a plus 8oz yield P/Plant!! Or get my mrs to quit!!
Hmm.. I just forgot my intended comments I was thinkin of
Oh well
Bin dribbling enuf anyways! But yeah, There are many opinions and results, but each person must do whats suitable for themselves.. BE COOL GUYS!! Catch Ya's, Smokemup...

yes. A little behind because I had some Master Kush seeds not take. Had to replace with what I had, adding 2 Martian Kush seeds to the picture. But in the end my timing may be good allowing me to do a better cleanup, especially on the carpet, after harvest before moving these in to flower.
Ahh I see now thanks bro
Great thread tho have to say plus REP+
