First time growing, went a little overboard with defoliation. Never expected my girls to do this

If your plant is sucking up 600ppm/cf an hour then how would dropping it to 200ppm/cf an hour increase or match yields without prolonging flowering time?

As far as i can tell the only way yield will go up is with increased uptake/metabolism and the only way increased uptake can happen is when the plant can run its photosynthesis process at a faster rate which points to an underlit room or environment problems.

It really blows my mind how a plant can produce much more while using much less.

I dont have an issue with lollipopping but stripping the entire plant (not just a few fans) below is kinda nuts and i cant see it producing more then it should have unless it just had a 200w cfl overhead.

It/you make no difference to me either way. I wasn't trying to be hurtful nor do I care about your empty and pathetic threats. No I will not ignore you or anybody for that matter. Yo act like you are the final say far to often pal, at least from what I have read.

Ignoring isn't a bad thing consider it like sending someone to a time out ;)

Nice! it looks like another fat bud type plant.

Where do we gets seeds? As long as it's decent THC levels of course.

So are these long flowering? as in going to take more than 10-12 weeks or more each?

Those 2 plants are CH9 / Motarebel hybrids from

https://www.ch9femaleseeds.com/

He has stopped producing new fem packs for now for another project but has some stock and some bulk deals.

The info about the strains is there including excerpts from Mota's catalog.

And no. They were not bred to be long flowering at all. Pete says 8-9 weeks. But that time for me is about 70/30 dark to still white pistils and a very up bright classic sativa high. And that is what he advertises.

I grew his strains that way for quite a while and got no complaints.

However like I commented above I let one go long a while back and now I know that the real heavy cannabanoids and terpenes start to come out a few weeks more.

The difference in potency and legs is astounding.

Also. I don't always have time to fully root in the final pot so I think when they go into flower early in their bigger pot they spend a week or two rooting and maturing even in 12/12.

So if you are going to flower with a full root ball developed in the pot I think it would have been done in 11 weeks.

I have confirmed this with the breeder. He was actually amazed they went so long.

I do deal with some late bananas on these Thai diesel hybrids but I have not seen more than a couple seeds.

And they grew great plants so I actually look foward to finding a couple.

Hey lets just put it this way, why does c02 increase yield in flower?

I do get your point SPL and you are certainly correct in the OP case for sure but I guess the question is which leaves open stomata more frequently and efficiently, new or old? By sacrificing certain fans the plant opens up more sites for new growth to come thus higher uptake of CO2 due to the increased stomata density of the canopy.

"Generally, plant photosynthetic apparati are only designed to function well over a rather narrow range of temperatures. When heated, cytochromes, pigments, and membranes critical to phosphorylation and carbon fixation rapidly denature (i.e., they cook). To avoid this, an individual plant may open its stomata and evaporate water which will lower the leaf temperature. Thus, one may hypothesize that leaves in the sun should have higher stomata density than do leaves in the shade - all else being equal."
