Some told me defoliation reduce yield and stun grow, some told me it increase bud size. Did my experiment and This result of my 1st heavy defoliated 2ft tall bluedream. Using 2gallon pot, grow in soil and 300w led budmaster IIAs I got nothing to compare with, will appreciate you guys tell me what do you think? Yielded 310g I am anticipating the next blue dream (defoliated even more during flowering ) having same age as this one but with fatter buds and is due to harvest in a few day time. Check out experimental journal. http://forum.grasscity.com/absolute-beginners/1376740-defoliate-not-during-flowering-stage.html/page-3
yes, I just harvested it. I harvested some few day back . So it is 2/3 fresh and 1/3 was dried for 3 days. Will weigh again when they are all dry
Ima be happy with anything over a ounce now since ive had quite a bit of wettish bud because got no loupe and confused on days. all the signs said that for what lights and food it was given, it will do lol. next round im serious.
if weighed wet take off 75% will be close to dry weight so i reckon close to 2 zips once dry and removed from stems
nice man I have one I trimmed a little also and one I didn't cut at all she's Hella bushy. Think the bottom branches might catch up to my top without training haha. so I will be able to see the difference in yield. First grow so I'm experimenting too. Next will try some training.
I'm not sure, I have never weighed fresh bud before. It looks more than an oz though, maybe 1.5oz at a guess
I can't wait to harvest this She is defoliated the most almost all fan leaves are gone. And She is given the best TLC comapre to the rest of the plant
you trim abit during flowering or during veg? I only trim my plant after at least 2 weeks flower. I never try trimming during veg Do you have a journal. Will love to see the differences too.
Just harvested bluedream one. This one is the one that is most heavily defoliated among the rest of the plant. Almost bare at 4th week of flowering. And surprisingly it yield the highest. A slightly taller than 12" plant, growing with 300w led in soil. Wet Weighed 380g. Estimated dry weight will be measure later.
