I have heard the argument from hundreds of people why it cant work according to science. Not one of them had ever done it. Have you?

Sound great, I've done it, as have many others, but doing it yourself is always the best way to learn.

Ive run side by sides multiple times. Most recently I flowered the mother and a clone that were about the same size except i let the mother stay super bushy and defoliated the clone. The mother produced 20% more bud, but like 35% of it was wispy.

So then why does the bushy plant produce 35% airy bud while the defoliated one doesn't?

There's an endless number of possibilities, with such a generic question.

No idea. why does it?
To be honest im surprised a plant tripped of all its leaves can even survive. Goes to show you what a strong survivor it is.

This is the result every time i flower bushy plants. They yield more but they have more un-sellable weed that must be used for hash. You are saying this is due to some unseen variable time and time again?

Wait, wait, just so I understand...
You cut the large very developed leaves. The one that can handle to most intense light. The ones the have the most chlorophyll, and the most "Source Cells", and produce the most G3P and carbohydrate production, and instead give the under developed, small leaves, that produce the fewest carbohydrates, more light?

I cant, bud. It was a long time ago, before smart phones.

When done properly, but it takes a person with skill and knowledge of the cannabis plant.

Not at all, man, as I said, I came here to learn.

Guys, cannabis is just a plant.. No different from every other plant. The thread is the same as all the other threads on defoliation. There's never any science behind it...
It baffles me why you guys are unwilling to even "hear" the science behind the negative connotations behind defoliation.
I bought into it once, but then I learned..
It seems like you guys aren't really here to learn.

i already posted a pic of stripped leaves, even the ones that poked from the buds where not of the best quality, the plant is still kicking ass and the triches have made a noticeable improvement compared to last week.
