Edward I strip more leaves than you did twice in flower, they always grow back in a week - in different places.

You'll be fine, don't fret.

You're at week 3 or so of flower?

What are you growing magic beans? I guess if Edward can show me good results on this grow after all what happened to these plants, then i must be the most rusty grower ever. The solar panels are off, week 3? not gonna happen. Not saying it's not worth trying to get a few small nuggets ats this point by finishing them, just that these plants cannot give a big yield anymore no way.

This heavy defoliation will use less nutes and less water so easier to manage his res going forward. And from what I can understand the cell growth will have better medicinal benefits.
"easier to manage going forward" ??? This is simply not true at all. Nothing about this post is true,. Keep the leaves on ALWAYS.

For sure, learn the plant...there's a trend with these posts recently of extreme defoliation coincides with knowledge being around of making the plant produce better in terms of medicine and to save water and nutes. Something about cell being sent out to repair translate to you ingesting/inhaling them later.
What the hell are you talking about?

Those plants suck. Overfed and showing the "Claw". Don't try and minimize your screw ups. Just learn from your mistakes and have a better grow next time. You'll get some bud come harvest time but it could have been better.

Anyway, good luck with the rest of your grow and all that come next. It's all about the weed. :weed: :peace:

I'd say the training was done right, you got your branches spread out pretty nice BUT you let them stretch way too much probably due to lack of sufficient light. Next time give them a lot more light, do the same training technique you used and take off less material. My 2 cents.

I would give that lady all she needs and get whatever you can outta her and start fresh when she's done :) Looks like you got a few nice nugs coming along. Don't give up on her, she's trying with what she has!

Go to the end, just for experience's sake

Exactly. Well put.

OP, do you have a little extra room? Get your next grow started. Seeds/clones/whatever.... You can flip those to flower when these are done.

Play around with these. There is only so much info that you can learn from others, or by reading a book. How about this- harvest in like two or three stages, maybe a couple weeks apart. Check the trichomes. Then, compare how they each smoke. See what you like. This is my 3rd grow, and I am STILL trying to learn that. Have fun with them....

And yeah, those things look horrific. I've grown WAY worse. Lol

Defoling is ONLY for experienced growers. you have no reason to take good leafs off the plant.
Any newbs watching: do not take healthy leaves off your plants. learn about that later....
Preach. If you must dabble in the dark arts. Tread lightly
