You don’t seem to defoliate very much? I butcher my plants every time and after seeing this I’m not sure I’m doing it right 😬
I removed 2 compost bags of stuff….
I do try to defoliate as little as possible though. There’s multiple schools of thought and I don’t want to change your mind or anything… but I subscribe to the notion that the plant knows what it’s doing and to mess as little as possible.
A leaf takes energy from the plant to grow, after a certain amount of days it no longer takes energy and only provides energy. So to remove it for anything but a specific reason, like its covering a bud site (arguments here too) or touching the tent, is actually wasting energy.
Now on the covering a bud site, a leaf also doesn’t take 100% of the light energy that reaches it, a portion of it passes through to the leafs and stuff below. I’ve also seen people do bud tests and lower bud typically tests higher for THC, which kinda makes a sense since they are semi protected from light degradation by canopy coverage.
The way you say it makes it seem obvious lol I only defoliate because that’s how I was taught, I’m just gonna let it ride next time
Do a side by side and check for yourself.
I could spend more time and get a better quality product by being more selective. Like think of how beautiful and dense the bud would be if I put all this energy into a few colas instead of this forest. I’m trying to find a good balance of quality and quantity until I have some buffer and focus more on quality.
Provided life lets me have the time with the ladies of course too.
I basically only removed what was under the trellis or what wasn’t reaching the top at all.
Are there any legal limits to dried flowers in your state?
If I leave my house with it yes there is provincial carry limits.
The limit is 4 plants in the household, but you can make 1 fill up a 3x3 easily. This is 2 and still removed a whole bunch.
Yeah I know that you can fill a 3x3 ft tent with just one plant… and that one plant can produce quite a lot of dried flowers.
I was just asking since the country I am from (Germany) only plans to legalize possession of 50grams/2oz in-house (!) and up to 3 plants.
Oh jeeze, if I go out with my wife we can both buy and carry 30g each.
Yeah, outside of ones home the carry limit is about the same (25g) per person.
Well at least Germany finally starts with legalization.
