That would make sense if the leaves were used to the amount of light they got before, and when I defoliated they got way more light. Heat is no issue I run LED.
Caught her, hermie in progress, so I chopped 2 weeks early. Still smokes great and gets me high. To be continued...
Idk how true it is but I read somewhere the fan leaves act as the "solar panels" so when u remove some and don't decrease light it adds pressure on the remaining fan leaves and can stress the plant. The pic I saw with it looked like ur burn pattern. He dimmed his light and it didn't get any worse. He finished his grow. I am not sure if it was here or 420 mag. And again. Idk how true it is. But I also know decreasing light can add stress. Idk...
Also what's the advantage of cutting the hermie 2weeks early. I mean it's not like fungus and it can kill the plant in 2 weeks. I'm confused. But would love to know something new. I'm new to this so im open as hell,
