    Default Defoliation experiment

    Ok so this is my first crop in a year or so got given some lemon haze 'apparently' clones a little while ago, after doing some extensive reading was fairly interested in defoliation and seeing how it worked agains other plants....
    So my set up is a 1.2m x 2.4m x 2m
    2 x 600w hps
    10 inch fan and extractor
    Canna Aqua a & b
    Dutch pro explode
    All of which set up in NFT
    So I started a thread whilst in veg whilst I was unsure wether or not I should remove a few fan leaves to expose more potential bud sites.... After alot of research I thought I'd test this whole defoliation malarkey, I then defoliated 6 out of 8 of my plants thoughout veg and then heavily again once the buds were starting to develop in flower... About week4ish..there was a period of anxiety as they seemed to have stopped growing but they picked up after a day or two.... And I have to say I'm now in my 6th week of of flower just doing a tank change my misses pointed out how much bigger and defined the bus structure of the defoliated plants where compare to the ones I have left untouched.... Just taking a rest after a sweety change gona roll me a j and will get some snaps up shortly.
    Hope everyone's having a lovely day. 😃

    Ok so I've got some before and after defoliation pics here's before
    Here are the after the defoliation pics

    The next pic here shows the lower bud growth showing promising growth I also have the comparison photo on te defoliated plant that has nearly no growth as it's covered by many leaves

    Here's the the plants te were not defoliated

    As you can see the buds are only just showing signs of development where in comparison the defoliated plants have quite a lot more bud structure in comparison
    Now back to the arsenal match 🎉
