When the plant is done with the leaf it will wither and fall off and the plant replaces it on its own.

Plants have not been grown indoors for millions of years - and neither has Mr. Scissorhands been chopping them during this evolutionary cycle. Logic sucks huh.

You are correct. Their so called logic is derived for the sole purpose of backing their claims up.

Please link facts to back your claims. What is being given taught stating the detriment of foliage to plants? Text book quotes? Peer reviewed studies?

Foliage becomes a detriment to any plant at a point in its life, what used to store energy at one time in the plants cycle will begin to use energy that could be used farther up the plant.

"Energy"....would that be cosmic, psychic, or temporal?

And there you have it folks, a perfect example of the high tech, new age, "progressive" misguided fluff of this cyber stalking troll.

Look, your insatiable mad-on for me is one thing, but how about contributing something of value once in a while.

Next......

Yes your right it is common sense and this is being taught in school right now all over north America. AND...NO Plants have not been grown INDOORS for millions of years, so get your head out of UB's ass and go to school or at least talk to someone that has a clue.

Now I'm not expierienced or anything but I read what situation was saying about pulling off leaves during the seedling phase. I do it myself and it works. I don't know about hormones but when you pull the leaf off it makes the stem grow faster compared to the rest of the plant as it would normally giving that branch a chance to get longer before it is covered by the canopy. I can't explain why but it's true

That's what i mean, however, this conversation belongs in the defoliation thread so im gonna comment on it over there, I messed up and posted in here by accident a week ago, and now its a shitfest. not tryin to get things closed down.

LMAO no my brain just exploded from the Topping technique that you use, yet somehow you tried to explain hormones to me and plant science...never gonna look at you the same lol. I now see that your a dumbass and happen to know how to grow somewhat. You just don't know why you know how so stop trying to sound like you know wtf your talking about. Plus your setups are all ghetto rigged and sloppy, another sign of being a dumbass, like the sloppy colorer in kindergarden who couldn't stay in the lines. Was this real down below? Also, if so, then how can you say you don't ever defoliate haha

Now we have 14 tops in a nice neat canopy. The second node had already made it up with the rest, bet it becomes dominant now.

I gotta tell ya I am pretty excited about flowering it under T-5 lighting.....

I think cotton farmers defoliate to enhance the quality of their crop

Your really comparing an OUTDOOR crop like cotton to indoor weed growing? they defoliate cotton for specific reasons outdoor

Deciding when to defoliate a crop is an important decision from several stand points. If the crop is defoliated too soon, yields, quality and profits suffer. On the other hand, depending on the location and the field condition, delaying defoliation may increase likelihood of additional insect problems, or delaying harvest into bad weather which will effect yield and profits. That is why defoliation decisions must be based on the crop and the crop environment. Plant maturity is perhaps the most important factor, but other factors such as picking capacity, custom harvesting, and weather are also important.
Defoliation is an important management practice associated with high yields and high quality cotton. The decision as to how and when to remove the leaves and open the bolls appears to be one of the more difficult tasks confronting a cotton grower. There are so many variables involved that the results of harvest aid applications are often unpredictable and sometimes even undesirable. You would think that after more than 40 years of research in this area we could obtain desirable results under all circumstances. However, this is not always true, and we often have failures. Thus, defoliation has come to be considered as much art as science.

They defoliate (spray) defoliation chemicals via airplane applications when the crop is done so they don't have to screw around with the leaves. A huge combine comes along after the leaves have dropped and collects the cotton bolls.

Spin runs deep......
