I;ll tell you what causes stress. Watching a video with out of focus pictures.
Its for monitisation
Sorry
Thank you for saving me 6 minutes.
I wouldn't know i fell asleep immediately from his tone and voice
@spider antz secret garden lol nah when ur trying to learn something you just dont want to hear it you want to see it aswell dont make sense lol, ether way shouldnt be sorry but nobodys jealous lmao
We like defoliating small amounts at a time every few days a week or so before flower and 4 days after LST to give the new top sites excellent light.
Took me forever to get over this fear 😅. Now it's all tops, no larf.
Exactly
Your leaves are the factory for the plant. Photosynthesis makes everything the plant needs to live and procreate. People want to defoliate their plants because (they say) the buds need the light. Buds are the result of the light that hits the leaves that make the sugars and starches the plant needs. You defoliate your plant and a few weeks later she is full of leaves again. Then you defoliate again so the buds get light etc. Yes it stresses the plant terribly when you defoliate. How much energy did your plant use to re grow the leaves it NEEDS to live when it couldn't have given that energy to the buds. As a grower and a gardener I don't strip my corn so the ears/cobs get more light. The leaves build the cobs! I don't know any gardener that defoliates their trees to make the fruit bigger or better. Have you ever seen the owner of an orchard strip their trees of leaves to make the peaches or cherries better??? No. Don't defoliate and see if your plants grow better buds. Space them out more, get more breeze, more light on more leaves = bigger buds! Try it out for yourself.
Well said! More leaves lead to more sugars stored up in the roots; which then lead to a quicker, more explosive bloom, with more flower sites. However, some strains are more prone or susceptible to botrytis in humid climates; and removing some internal leaf late in the bloom cycle, to improve air circulation in the center or middle of those plants, may be beneficial, under the right circumstances. Thanks for checking out the channel.
Often the loss or stress created by removing a fan leaf is offset by the removal of the shadow cast on the leaves below, especially in early flower. I haven't removed many unless they are at the bottom in shade or causing a mess in the middle that I wanted to keep open, in a way.
I am learning so much and I can take it as deep as I wish so I am trying different things but am bad at record keeping.
@@Icantkeepout aha thank you, make's sense
@@PerfectGardensTV exactly. I usually defoliate within the last 4 weeks to avoid bud rot
I just finished defoliation with my ladies. Sitting in front of them still and decided to check out TH-cam and this video came up. Creepy😳
Is my phone watching me?😳
That trips me out too. They are either watching, listening, or hearing or thoughts.
There is a 90's movie that is best on acid that describes what we are talking about:)
@@PerfectGardensTV 1984 lol
Yes they're watching and listening, if it's not your government it's somebody else's.
@@PerfectGardensTV I do watch alot of cannabis growing videos though. Could be a coincidence. Quick question: I have had some thrips. I thought I beat them on a plant I'm about to finish. On closer inspection I seen a few not many I haven't even seen the crap they leave on the leafs and am supposed to harvest in a couple days. I don't want to spray with pest control this late in the game. Should I maybe wash the buds at harvest or something. I don't know what should i do, dont want them in my smoke.
If you only knew how much it listens to you..
Clipping leaves when cloning is to cut down on water transpiration. As the cut has no roots to provide water. That is why you trim the leaves to all the same size...
Nothing to do with fungi /mould.
5:52 Right there, that's the best advice I've ever heard! One thing I would add to keeping great notes, is that you can use that technique with anything in you're life.
Good video, I agree keep it simple !
I’m old school and always been a totally organic outdoor grower. The only leaves I remove are some that might have an insect problem or in flower, leaves that cover the flowers.
Thanks for the video !
Well said!
I always mainline so I take leaves off every plant every day , been lucky for a few years and no male parts but I look every day !
Well there is evidence that cutting the downpart of your plant in the 2nd flowering week increase the yield as the plant is able to focus on the bud that get more light... its definitely not so black and white ...
I have only removed 1 leaf from my plan this year and it is close to 8 foot tall. Super healthy this season
Formula for disaster
Doesn't removing some leaves allow the plant to concentrate its resources on its flowers?
Also, shouldn't you remove yellowed/browned out leaves?
New to this. Appreciate advice.
Unless it's really late into flower I'll usually pull brown and yellow leaves and removing sleeves that cover shoots and Bud sites in my opinion is a huge help my second year growing but I figured out a few things I've let plants go trimmed and untrimmed I found the properly trimmed ones do the best
I also find trying to take no more than 1/3 stops it from really stressing the plant
@@talleywacka9062
Thanks for the replies!
I'm at that point now; time to trim down some of the leave foilage.
I’m new to growing and I felt like I had to defoliate my plants because the fan leaves were just getting too big and hiding the rest of the plant. My plants are 5 weeks old. They’re really short but I’ve high stressed trained the shit out of them and they’re set to have over 10 colas each.
After the third set of leafs grow out use i/2 teaspoon water sollable fertilizer per gallon of water. I use tomato fertilizer from walmart. Keep the numbers low when they are young and when flowering use higher numbers for flowering. Water , then ferts, then flush and keep that up and you will come out with good results. NEVER USE AS MUCH AS DIRECTIONS SAY in the insttructions.
in indoor growing it is a very common practice for creating a healthier growing environment to avoid PM, and Botrytis.
Ty for posting bro

@@allanclose9684 - I wish I knew about the tomato fertilizer from Walmart before spending 200 bucks on the whole Lotus Nutrient line.
Once I finish them I’ll give your way a try.
@@SimRacingVeteran use miracle grow all purpose water soluble plant food for veg cycle an miracle grow bloom booster for flower. Only use about 1/2 the recommended amount 1/2 as often. You'll get fantastic results.
@@darthoblivion2615 i wouldnt smoke anything grown in that sh1t
Learn something new everyday…never heard it called defanning…never even knew defanning was a word…always called defoliating.
It totally depends on which Leaf it is 😉
Here's a quick question I have as a new grower instead of removing the leafs from your plants 🪴to provide better quality 👌lighting for your growing. Can you just trim your leafs 🍃🙄back and only cut ✂️🤔halfway of your leafs 🍃to get and keep the energy from not cutting off it right away
Tuck leaves until they become a problem.
Or also try low stress training to maybe bend away some branches if possible...I grow mostly outdoor and notice that usually takes care of the leaf problem.
My thinking is this. If you cut the whole leaf it's one wound.. if you cut the tips that's 5 to 11 wounds to heal. I always ✂️the stem
Only remove leafs when they are yellow, dying or dead. If you are main lining or super cropping you can do any trimming in these processes so you can recover from the stress in vegetation. Once your babies have recovered don't touch them. Use nets to open up ereas for better light penatraition and spacing. So leave them alone and trim a week before harvest. Every time you touch the plants you are at risk of breaking the thc glands which effects potency. It took me a few times to realise the less you disturb them the better it is all round
i find my plant does better when stressed,uvb stresses plant to produce more resin,like our skin produces melatonin
1st time gromie...I use LST n defoliation mostly outside n inside...trying to direct the energy to the tops, expose nodes to the light n get better canopy air flow...seems to work really well the girls are stacking buds like mad! 100% organic, dry amendments worm castings, bokashi juice n compost. Compost teas
Stress is important in cannabis growing, you can stress the plant at certain times to force a higher yield or a higher THC content.. This technique is not exclusive to cannabis, it has been ued in the cotton industry for years to increase yield for example....Timing is everything with cannabis... I have done tests with cuttings of the same plant, defoliated 1 plant at start of flower and at day 21, and left the other go un touched, and I had an extra 25grams on the defoliated plant. Ive been doing this for a few years now, and the biggest variable with this technique is genetics... I would say 90% of the genetics i have tried responded well and some genetics, like Power plant for example, really didnt like it, with some plants turning hermie.. My recommendation would be to try it on a more modern stable strain they seem to be the one's that really thrive from it.
i agree but not while growing, do it when you harvest. Just my 2 cents
I stress before harvest with stem splitting and use of ice to chock the roots during 36 hours of darkness before harvest 👌🏼
@@madmanmoz6365 ok please explain. I’m very interested
Ha power plant 🙃
Did some years ago from sensie seed bank to this day strongest puff I’ve ever come across and I’m pretty old now 🚁
I’m laughing just thinking about that stuff 😂🌞😶
Oh and bottom off definitely!!
Anything else as and when
@@russnicholas6796 The original power plant is Dutch Passion, and man like you say, some of the strongest stuff if you like powerful sativas! Goe
s to show you need more than just high THC content, its the alterage of cannabinoids that make the high
Effects different plants differently of course. In general it's ok to do it if it will mean more flower sites are getting light, The plant will recover quickly from the experience if it is in good health.. Do not over do it though. Removing too many leaves can impact yield. Aim to leave at least 40% of the leaves on the plant at least.
Take only yellowing, or dead leaves off...I even go as far as dipping my trimmers in rubbing alcohol before taking dead leaves...
Yes most definitely trim the third bottom of the plant's leaves. This promotes growth to the budding flowering buds this is the time to use a bud building fertilizer to enhance and have bigger buds and a better finished product to enjoy for the winter months and your buddy's will love it too good luck. I do this exact same thing to my marajawna every year like I said good luck just my opinion
Amen
Do u wait to trim till you put it into flowering then? Do u trim a little before that for airflow?
@@CornPop309 I remove the lowers, when the canopy starts to shade the lowers. At that point they really aren't helping the plant anyway.
@@oneshotonekill8176 how much would you say you remove 50%? And when?
@@CornPop309 I would start small and see the response my 1st time I took too much and totally destroyed it. Look for poor health leaves and small ones that the light doesn't reach
Defoliation is only 1 of many techniques available to a grower,use of such a technique comes many pros and cons,its up to the individual to decide whether or not such a techniques pros outweigh ( literally) the cons. Simple.
Usually when I watch grower videos, I can't tell whether the host/hostess is trying to be helpful, or trying to show off their microbiology 'depth of knowledge' skills, of which the second unfortunately often results in the dreaded 'TMI Overload.' On many occasions, I've felt I could have singlehandedly built a nuclear reactor after watching some of those videos, although all I initially wanted was a simple growing schedule. Thanks for the straightforward tips, and for talking slow enough so I could keep up... I'm slightly baked as I write this.
I'll strip all the big leaves So the buds can stack some weight
You're robbing yourself. Leaves feed the plant flowers don't. I've seen the results side by side time and time again.
Experience. Defol isn't even an issue in or out if you have experience. You should breed your genetics to not have issues with your training methods.
Excellent content. Thanks for your time and efforts put into this video

I appreciate your comment
Mark
If a shade leaf is in the way of a bud under it. Take it off so that bud gets the light. Or it won't get as big as it would with the light on it.
Bit disappointed the "timing of leaf cutting/branch cutting" wasn't mentioned.
For all new growers, dont cut anything after it starts to flower, unless its a few higher fan leaves blocking decent bud sites down below 🤙
And all branches you want removed should also definitely be done prior to flipping (if you're growing indoors or outdoors)
Outdoors in Oregon I don’t defoliate unless it’s absolutely necessary after the 2nd week of August.
It’s July 17th. I just lollipopped, took out branches that were crowding the plant and opened up my plants, I’ll clean them up again in August then leave them alone.
@@peterdallman4550 I do the same
Please don't give out advise when you really don't know what you're talking about.
@@billdozier72 Who are you posting this to?
@@peterdallman4550 o
Fan leafs are essential to growth, they absorb light and give the plant energy for growth,if they cover budsites push them down to expose the bud site,but don't remove them.
I may be weird but I remove all the oldest fan leafs every 5 days or so the whole grow cutting back in flower and only doing a lollipop before transition and day 21/45.
Stop it.Those fan leaves are supposed to slowly turn yellow and die naturally during the last few weeks of flower. Chemical reaction converts the chlorophyll into carbohydrates and sugars adding to the flavour and aroma of the buds.
N how does it work out for you. I was told the same thing from an old timer. Lol my pops.
Three major trims in the life of a plant
that one picture with the blurr on it helped so much! thanks man!
This was extremely helpful. It got me thinking on the right track
Cool, ty for feedback
Mark
I don't tuck anymore. I take dental floss and wrap around big fan leaf to make a cigar shape and tie it off. Works great, leaf will sag a couple hrs then jump right back up and look good. If plant responds negatively cut said dental floss and no harm no fowl. Try it people works.
cool video,,,for me i prefer to de leaf through the flowering period,,removing shade leafs to let light and better air circulation to the plant and keep the humidity down at around 35/40% ,,,i remove the leaf that is always below a branch or that has its own support and doesn't really need it anymore,,and continue all way through flowering period as and when needed,,as for the bottom of the plant i tend to use for cuttings/clippings i guess it always depends on how much the lights penetrating through the canopy on what you need to remove too and also how your plant grows or how you'v trained it to grow
I'm hoping that this question doesn't seem dumb but I been trying this in this grow and so far it's truly improved my overall size so far
@Cornpop
Give him time...
He probably just finished a "J."
😂😭
Good info but contradictory in some instances. That said, one must act on a case by case basis for some of those issues. Humboldt area growers told me long ago that removing lower area fan leaves that show potential below them, if removed, allow a greater amount of sunlight to filter down to those still developing potential bud areas. The large fan leaves got there by gathering light but will later be less potent due to lack of terps etc. and will eventually be trimmed for shake. That said, shake can be used for a less potent RSO or for cannabutter. Remove to assist lower plant development AND use trim for other earthly delights. When stressing, it is often necessary to remove those leaves, as well. Toss them in a brown paper bag in a cool, dry place
Dark place and let them dry slowly. Pulverize, toast and extract.
Screening large dry fan leaves is generally fruitless. Lots of crumbled leaf matter, few cannabinoids or terps. An extract is a best practice use, especially if you trim several plants.
After trimming and low or no light, dose with an appropriate amount, based on size of container, Cal-Mag 1-0-0 at 1 tsp/gal the evening of the trim. This encourages root hairs to interact with nutes and micros while the plant is resting from the day's work doing photosynthesis and allows increased nutrient uptake.
CalMag may be repeated but use during the beginning of lights-out if doing anything causing stress. Google it.
@@timp8472 some of what you say may be true. However just like you said each case or scenario has to be looked at differently.
I can google anything that’s pure bullshit and find somewhere in internet land that will say it’s true.
Good points though.
Peace ✌🏻
You should be giving your plants Cal Mag throughout their lives anyways, until week 4-5 flower than switch and only use Mag Sulf for the remaining weeks. Google it.
Trimming the clone leaves should stress the plant less, since it has less surface area to photosynthesize. It doesn’t have roots to get water to support the surface area of big leaves
Number one I don't have any yellow or brown leaves number two I have no pests or disease number three I take all the leaves off the bottom for air circulation wherever there's a bud you want to sun leaf to feed it or remove both
What's with all the blurry photos as reference?
sorry i tried to do it so it would monetize, i stop after i tried it once:)
Mold is good for nutrient uptake...
What?
U defoliate to let light penetrate deep into the canopy
I've found a how much a plant stresses is mostly due to genetics if you have good genetics it really won't matter when you deleaf.. I still try to stick to the traditional before flower strip date 21 strip and date 45 strip but my genetics are stable enough to if I see something is too bushy I'll deleaf on day 14 day 10 whatever..
love the detail.
thank you
Personally I've never understood defoliation, the plants spend alot of energy making leaves, the leaves then become a source of energy for the plant, when you take good healthy leaves from a plant it then has to use reserve energy from the roots to grow them again, if you grow inside your indoor garden should be dialed in where there is plenty of airflow and air exchange, powdery mildew and bud rot starts with stagnent air and high humidity, if you are growing inside and encounter that a complete rethink of your area is vital
@@tucker2074 what kind of yield do u get , not deleafing at all?
It's not so much stress as killing your solar panels leaves. Also once the plant feels winter is coming, the plant will use those fan leaves for food. Yes, if in dirt & the leaves are touching, thoes leaves should be clipped. Clip sucker branches, not leaves for best quality/yield, even colors
So more fan leaves = more energy = more growth?
It seems to make perfect sense to defoliate prior to flowering, but in veg fan leaves a burden to the plant or producer of energy/growth?
@@Americansikkunt Yes, most people think the buds are going to get more light, and swell. The fact is the fan leaves act like solar panels to the colas. When those last few weeks come, and the roots are no longer uptakeing the nutrients, the colas rely on the sugars from the fan leaves to feed the colas. I'll cut out all N at about week 6, which will cause the fan leaves to not only produce sugars as food, but will give ya some amazing fall colors. The sucker branches (the lower branches that only produce larf) are cut of, so that energy will swell your buds like crazy. 👍
Taking off one big leaf is better than three small leaves
and.......there is science showing injuring the plant occasionally causes nutrient uptake.
I also noticed of the water leaves I kept on had more bud growth sites along the stem. Its like a hook stem an 1 inch to 1.5 long and inch away from main stock. I figure its why the water leaves have that split in middle of stem.
Thanks for the sharing:)

Why are all the photos blurry?
I have to do it sometimes because the channel flags me.

Sorry bro
@@PerfectGardensTV smart af
@@PerfectGardensTV TH-cam's stupid censorship!!!!!!!
Leaf strips/defoliating causes minimal stress when only selected material is removed. Done initially to let more light into middle of plant. It also improves air flow so moves moisture quicker. Whole host of benefits of leaf stripping. Training techniques also work well.👍
Wow someone that knows what he is talking about
@@jimmyrawlings3343 it's horses for courses! Best thing I evs learned.😁👍
I pluck pretty hard core for training all the way through for my best results. Ive have side by side of them and the one left alone never gives me as much as the ones i strip as needed.
@@caseyarmy3747 cut branches/axial appendages or lateral growth. Leave leaf as energy gathered is diverted up to top growth and some down to roots. Both where you want energy+nutrients. All gives top results, especially lollipopping,low stress branch training and mainline topping. That's my experience and it gives top results. Other things as well though. Thanks for your advice and look into another person's perspective into achieving the same end results. Surprising how many different ways!😁👍
@@lifedaily4173 00
If your removing leaves foliage topping or mainlining then only take off dead or dying leaves. Apart from that leave them alone
ty for posting:)
Focus!
Can you deleaf a few fan leaves in flowering? I've got about 3 weeks to go and tucking them is not an option anymore. I'm growing outdoors. I'm reluctant but it really needs it. Also what about trimming those leaves that are covering a flower? Is that possible option so not to stress the plant too much. Help.
Cut the tips of the leaves when you Clone for more root growth less leaf grow. Your right again
I cut the Leafs off after they reach 15cm - 20cm Indoor!!! Because of Space, Humidity and to get the Light to the Bud's.
And if one Leaf finger cover up a Bud i clip it. 😅🤙✌️
...and Lollipoping almost 2/3 of the plant ...deppends on the Strain or Structur.
Hi. Im going to comment on that question. Cutting off leaves will stress it some but the benefit of clipping a few leaves usually outweighs the stress. And it definitely does stress the plant. If you snip off a couple of your fingers , would it stress you? Lol and if you get mildew cut em down and start over. If you don't have a good ipm then you need to get a good weekly spray like lost coast plant therapy spray and u will have a healthy grow. Tgats just my opinion that I think will help people. Get a good spray, not a poison. And have your environment perfect and your plants will be perfect. Cheers👊👍✌
I have to agree, Even if cutting the leave has major benefits whic im not saying it does, the time it would take to cut the leaves would make me not excited to grow as much just because these plants are labor intensive already at times.
Mark
Stressing will definitely effect yield especially with autos as they don't get veg time to recover, I notice stress even in seedling stage, stem should be almost transparent in seedling stage a stressed 1 goes a dark red or purple .
How about cutting your nails
I use chicken s*** from a year ago I use compost from a year ago you put the two together and you come up with the best all this extra stuff they tell you to put in the soil anything molasses whatever you want to put in the soil I don't do it I do it the way I just said and when you see the plants stressing in the evening you wait till the morning two handfuls of chickenshit mixed with compost material wham bam thank you ma'am there's nothing else you need do I cut or even touch my plants yeah I don't I don't yeah I got crabgrass growing all around I got the I got everything going thank you thank you thank you very much man it's all about me in my plants my plants are stretching a good 10 feet now hahaha
I like to think of fan leaves as money for the plant, it’s like a bank. I would not spend the plants money without a very good reason. Good video. I agree
I love how you describe this
Mark
@@PerfectGardensTV thanks
The reason's for heavy leaf removal throughout the plants life cycle is to prevent mold, allowing more air circulation and light. Also helps against mites
@@joshc8055 those are all good reasons and it all depends on your local conditions.
You will get a much better yield if you prune regularly, this is the second video I've watched of this guy and his information is crap.
Is it me or are the pictures out of focus?
I did that so they would light the video get released.

Fan leaves equal energy. Only remove unwanted bud sites leave the fan leaves
What about after the plant has began to bud? Is it better to have the buds get the light, and remove any upper fan leaves? I know you need to have the bud form before the leaf is cut. Any input is appreciated
When should you first start to trim? I'm a couple week into veg, the plants are about 8inch tall but the first fan leaves that first came through are probably as big as the entire plant. Should I cut them off?
During transition week up to 10 days into flowering
No
definitely not!!!
What factors control lateral branching? I know topping lst I have 2 plants with very small lateral growth while my 1 plant has laterals everywhere could temperature be a factor they are closer to heat source?
No body knows for sure.
Some of the things he is saying is just commen sense.
Like if you have a insect problem.
Or you dont have your room dialed in.
But from my experience.
And from many experiments on this subject.
And having my flower room completely dialed in.
( Because this is the stage that is important to me).
And having a half brain.
Which I mean, not going in and taking a third of your leaves all at once.
And then expect your plant not to stress.
But go in and take 3 or 4 leaves.
Then wait a week or two and take another 3 or 4 leaves.
Just to let a little more light to hit parts of the plant.
Because if you have your temperature and humidity and your room completely dialed in.
You shouldn't have to worry about mold and mildew.
Anyway what I have seen in my grows.
With taking or not taking leaves.
Is it makes NO difference in what's important to me.
Yield and quality.
I like your name ASS OJ. Thank you for the comment

I found new technique this year that I think helps the stress a lot I put a tiny dab of honey and a Sprinkle of cinnamon over every plant wound when I snap a big leaf been doing it to my plants since April and have not had any stalls I recently took quite a bit and she didn't Miss A Beat leaves right up an hour later
They're also outside and it didn't cause any bug
I’ve always cleaned up my plants and water leaves that are big and blocking shoots you clean up bottom cause they don’t get good light and they take from the tops only reason why people do that .
agreed
I like to tie my big fan leaves together facing the sky so my lower branches can get sunlight without risking my fan leaves and stress
@@moebetta5561 that's called ponytailing. Works great day 18-28(3 hours per day) on autoflower. Really gets the lower branches to catch up.
I always clean my bottoms. But never so call, lolly pop. That's too much.
I have to pull leaves off and thin the plants just from my plants being so full and too bushy.
what strain?
@@PerfectGardensTV its new strains that i test grow for Hov Genetics. Right now its Blueberry Diamonds which is Blueberry sunset and Jealousy. The other is jelly legs which is platinum cross. Growing in Massachusetts i definitely be super careful to not get powdery mildew. So I spray with lost coast plant therapy and pre flower trim them . I take a leaf here and there so they are not touching and getting to bushy
@@brizalsgarden2646 hey I'm in Mass also Boston to be precise. What about you? What part of Mass?
I think leaves that are at the bud site are like solar panel feeding that bud site i notice leaving those the buds on lower branch get bigger even if shaded by other leaves .leave the main stock big fan leaves that helps with the stock .i have an amnesia growing i havnt picked or poked at it and its beautiful ..when i do defoliate it slows down to repair itself ..leave the leaves alone ....and even stunted plants they may be slow at start but after 6 weeks in veg. It takes off ..most plant i had that were really slow growing picked up after 6 weeks .i think those are the best but thats my asshole opinion....thanks for what you do.
Leaves a tiny new growth area that usually will become a 'popcorn' bud. Leave them and they will develop earlier than the uppermost ones. Watch and when ready, clip them off leaving a stump.
Otherwise, removing all of them is stressful but old timers say it sends more available energy and nutes up to the new growth, producing bigger, better colas up top. So, up to the grower - or - use 2 sisters and remove fans and popcorn. On the other, just remove fans. Identical growth conditions will let the grower decide a preference. But caution - the lowest popcorn buds are somewhat shaded and nearer the growth media, thus close to moisture. This can cause mold or mildew so a careful watch and avoidance of unnecessary moisture is a good idea. When they are ready, remove them and wait a week to move up the plant. Feed CalMag that night.
, this often
Popcorn buds. Yes! Remove the big fan leaves leaving a short stump still attached. This will fall off in a day or so. Wherever the fan leaves arevremove
@@timp8472 the reason im not going to remove leaves at bottom on this one plant is im going to re veg and need those .if it doesnt reveg i gave it a shot .but i understand .i have lollipop, lst and few other things .this round i left 2 of them alone and the other 2 i Lst them .
I think the leaves at bud site it like a nutrient package lol if it needs anything it not getting from root it draws it from the leaf
I had to go outdoor....indoor made me go....look at me I can measure and use gadgets....oh ya and don't forget about the secrets.....I love growing
Peace, why are leaves healthy n lively but bottom knodes are dying?
I like to stay around 20% removal on my autos per defoliation. I start on week 3 and space out trim sesh’s through the week 3 of flower.
How did you have mold I've never had that on my plants
LOL I never ever get PM or any bugs. ONLY those whom cut corners develop issues.
I do know the SECRET to growing the BEST MMJ. Pay me and I will teach ya. Otherwise. Na.
Ok, free help from me.. To avoid PM One must make sure the cutting or seedling has the right NUTES. One particular nutrient giving to seedlings or cuttings never ever get PM. Fact Not open for debate.
No move the leaves onnly remove discolored leaves deep on bloomfifetddrpending on your style.

If the leaves are not necrotic, they are alive. They will stress. Is stress good, that is the question.
Awesome information!!! THANK YOU!!!! 💚
Any time!
In last few weeks of flower, energy of plant going into flower and some of the mid and lower leaves yellowing, can I get rid of these? Makes it easier to trim after harvest. Does little stress at this point further encourage good flower?
I would leave them on and do a dry harvest.

My plants was on idle mode once I trimmed the water leaves as to the whole plant. Just didnt grow for a few days and it shocks plant to go to the other stage of Stem growth or just goes on to next stage of growth. I only trim a little now and plant seems fine and growing the stages on cue.
I only take a few off every day during flower... Doesn't hurt them at all.
Bro you didn’t trim right and the right times then homie , you need help in learning when is the right time and we’re are the right places . Anything coving middle shoots and causing bad air flow . I rap Plants and not one time have they went into shock they always stand right up and the little leaves become big in a matter of days . I truly belief they enjoy it like we do a hair cut .. specially when going into budding lets them know it’s time to bud . Now I’m veg never take leaves that’s what fan leaves main purpose is veg growth

less is more
Have you ever heard the story of Samson and losing his strength when he cut his hair.
Just a thought. Ty for posting

I just hit week 3 of flower on 3 outside plants. One was loosing leaves dramatically, about 10-20 daily(turning yellow). Other than that, they all look healthy. I do not want to use more nitrogen. So I trimmed the one plant about 1/4, and some on the others. They do look better, and do not seem to be stressed. I hope it works out. The one has some more yellow leaves, but not as much. If anyone has a better idea, let me know.
I have 2 outdoor plants in 5 gallon pots. Both plants are almost 6 ft tall but I found that I should have used a bigger pot as they are suffering from a little deficiency in nutrients. I gave them some fertilizer (bud booster, ) as I’m only a little into flower and didn’t want my nutrient issues to affect my plant too drastically. I cut off the worst of the branches and cloned them. I leave the leaves until they want to fall off themselves with a small tug or if they show signs of disease or chances to develop it, then I’ll remove them. I don’t remove them as soon as they start to turn yellow, as I let the plant take out the nutrients it needs from them
If they are turning that quick, increase their water intake slightly. They shouldnt be turning that quickly at the stage you said.
Interesting perspective…thank you.
Thank you for watching 👍
The plant has almost got you trained
I think I need glasses now ,thanks
What about autoflowers
let them do their thing. DE foliar if you need air flow

I strip the bottom 1/3 an pluck leaves facing inward and leaves that block top sites honestly I’m scared to get a bigger light because of the growth verse my space lol but yea dope video.
How long is your typical curing process
You cut the leaves on clones so it spends energy growing roots instead of spending it on photosynthesis
I hear this a lot but i don't agree with it. I don't know everything tho
The same energy the leaves are producing....? I think a full leaf is better than a half leaf for energy production. I get the stress will make the plant respond but I'm not sure the plants natural response wouldn't be better. I'm actually testing this as we speak with a few new clones - I'm just curious to see. 🥃
@@capitaldd3693 come back and tell us what you find out.
Remove all leaves the stems get harder new ones grow back faster
I don't know the truth but it's what I heard or read once and from personal experience learned cutting fan leaves down to an inch root quicker than full fan leaves
I think using the term (Traumatizing) is a little bit over the top brother lol! I would say you create (little) stress when removing a few fan leaves! I mean there are people who Shwazay with GREAT results. And that involves stripping pretty much (EVERY) leaf on the plant. And they do that after the stretch in flower even. And then you see the same plants a week later and you almost can't even tell they where stripped. So I just kinda feel like that term isn't the most accurate way to describe the situation you cause by taking some fan leaves off. Most of the time when taking leaves off my plants won't even miss a beat. I'm sure it causes them something but I would say very minimal..........
and never touch the fan leaves
Fuzzy pictures guy its 2021
If it's a sick leaf I pull it.
Defoliating outdoors not so good for me i never realy have seems sliw thkngs down growth whys
Agreed
❤🎉 thanks again for your advice Colorado Silverback777 Stay Healthy keep stacking
So does it stress out or not
Yes
Is there any medicinal benefit to the leaves we remove during veg? I just give them to my worm bin, but wonder if there is any medicinal benefit if I made tea or something consumable out of the leaves of young plants.
Juice them or add to a protein shake....but definitely a healthy green to incorporate in your diet.
The medical benefits from your leaves are absolutely amazing! Google it but i promise you they are considered a super food
Dont consume your leaves if youre not going organic, any fertilizers or bug spray put on the plants id say throw them out
Depends on when the leafs were trimmed. During flower or veg. I give all my leafs to my in-laws to make pho. They tell me it's better when I give them the leafs during flower 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I rinsed them, drained them, and put them in the freezer. When enough trimmed leaves clogs my freezer, I make ice water hash from the useless water leaves. It Is Good!! Not great, but not useless at all!! Puffing said hash, right now. :-)
Clear info ? Yes? No? What? You said do your own research?
Good imfo man. Happy Growin ✌
Appreciate it
