Can we stay on topic please? This thread is about defoliation :dunce:

So, where were we... ah yes, removing these nasty fan leaves.

"he seedling will emerge anywhere from 2 to 10 days from the time you sowed it."

Mine are out of the ground in less then 2 days. So good game.

You also say that paper towel is an xtra step, yet your the one microwaving soil. :P
Your saying you have a fully developed seedling in less than 48 hours from the start of germ? :S

Ps. Your plant will defoliate on its own! Let it do its thing and tell you what it wants. With soil your fans are some of the best way to gauge what your plant needs/likes...

Just my 2 cents... and with current economic swings its worth less than half that on the global scale

Out of the soil yes. Maybe still working its shell off.
Really! With every seed you have ever popped?

Which would number how many exactly?

The time it takes for a seedling to metabolize starches and create its tap root, to my knowledge, cannot be accelerated. A seed has somewhat of a pre determined germination time, just as a plant has a predetermined flower time.

Most fall within 5 days.... some seeds no matter what you do will take more than 48 hours to even tap

Not every single seed ever. Most every seed though as long as they're not really old.
Or like I said aurora indica seeds I had took longer, which were probably old stock.
I've prob only popped 75-100 seeds.

I rinse seeds under faucet, soak paper towel in warm water, place seeds in towel folded up in a sealed tupperware.
Then I place it in front of my laptop exhaust fan with a shirt draped over the tuperware keeping the warm air surrounded the tupperware.

Depends on how crowded the tray is. Actually I did a defoliation versus not my last run and both turned out like shit lol. But hey I purposely break branches in half so what do I know lol.

Wow, UB "B.C." someone is really wrong, so it MUST BE ME!!, That is why I have been doing the research and whatever botanical article I can find or that will allow me access. That is why I know growing in soil in my super hot environment will produce crap, water is easier to control, and I never have to bake (kill) any micronutrients that an actual gardener would have worked so hard to make sure was in there, That is why I have seen the actual science theory and research and also the growers produce you attack in print with your diatribe. Clearly you ARE the GOD of growing pot, regardless of the proof you apparently didn't bother to disprove or investigate as you are stuck on your own "DO IT MY WAY, OR ITS WRONG. Its not that with every post you purposely mention IGNORANCE, You are CLEARLY the foundation of it. Do the experiment or keep yapping like the monkey you boast about. You have an inept way of dazzling anyone with brilliance, because no one can see through your B.S..
Nature 101(WITH NO HELP FROM MAN) Plant drop seed, water soil and light feed seed help to grow, nature attacks plant, sun/water/animal/insect/other plant. Plant produce fruit and flower and seed... Thats natures book, EVERYONE ELSE IS A COPY, trying to out perform GOD, (which in this case seems to be you) So I am way wrong, So verry wrong , SOOOO VERRRRRrrryyyYYYYY Wrong, that I even considered praying to an ignoramus such as yourself.,

Wow a seedling?
As you can tell by seeing the cotyledons yes those are seedlings. It's genetics though, no germination tricks, just tap water, the same thing happens whether I grow them in soil, coco, perlite or rockwool, or in a piece of sponge (the first above).

A day later it looks like this:
