Gold Leaf Indoor Grow Journal and Defoliation Experiment

Hi @DissidentPriest,

I’ve seen you’ve mentioned it a couple of times on the forum; defoliation.

I’m curious of your technique, and why you would want to strip the plant of it’s leaves?

Here on ILGM, Robert teaches distribution of sugars, with possible pruning & trimming, but never defoliation. In fact, he recommends leaving all the leaves on, and letting the plant self prune.
