You really need to stop choping your plants down to nothing…
Sorry to say that … but man your doing yourself a disservice by doing that…
They need leaves to be able to grow…
To many people buy into swazing…
It does work… but it’s really a outdoors technique…

Im sorry but you’re wrong. and confused. - It is intended for Indoors, outdoors the leaves are needed to fight against bugs and desease-
Also, Shwazzing refers to removing ALL the leaves. — this is strategic defoliation which is based on timing the stages of growth and recovery.

Sorry I was a bit snippy wasn’t my intention-
Ultimately, if I can pull 3+ ounces from this, im very satisfied. -
Not trying to grow commercially =P ---- 3 months would last me until next harvest~
Greatly. Needed. Medicine.

After about 3 weeks in flower. I am now taking about 50% - 3/4% of the big fan leaves off. it seems to be helping me out. This is a plant That is now drying in the tent. You can see I take a lot. but not all. I tend to leave those that are not really bothering much. I do strip her down as much as I can through the last week… It makes trimming a lot easier for me. I ran into a few issues with this one. Wanting to make bananas on a few branches. So 2 full branches were removed and she was taken 2 weeks early. I expect more from the next one. But I do remove a lot of fan leaves my self. I stripped my ASC and she did very well. I think most of this is just using a little common sense and not going to far when you do it 
Just my thoughs

I have been thinking of a reply that shows my neutrality while also showing you where you errored imho…
When I read that I gasped. You backed someone into a corner with the finality of those sentences. I gasped and I had no dog in the hunt. Then I imagined how @peachfuzz must have felt. I dont think it’s so severe an error that everyone cant come through it unscathed lol. Just in the future as a precaution remember that sentences on a screen cant project your full meaning…imho

honestly to- thats the worst I ever get as far as being rude to someone lol My backs just been killing me that bad that I lashed out-
wasn’t truly offended~ ALL Feedback is valuable. — I even said in previous posts that I plan to run my next garden with minimal defoliation =P @PurpNGold74 had the VERY BEST analogy by saying there are so many ways to cook an egg.
Started flush today- (Slightly Premature as im still seeing new white pistols, but im aiming for a more energetic high to give me the energy to clean through the pain.) — FEELS LIKE 9 weeks is going to be chop date.
Posting pics when lights go out tonight

Day 50 Flower Starts Today!
Having problems loading pics >_< Tomorrow ill grab the girlfriends phone (new iphone) so the camera is HD
My version of “FLUSH” btw is simply stopping completely the FFTigerBloom. – I am reducing 50% FFBigBloom and slightly decreasing how much Blackstrap I prepare. — going to use FFBigBloom+BlackStrap every 3rd watering until Harvest. (Water-Water-FEED)
Seeing roughly 60% Milky 40% Clear Trichs (not seeing any Amber)
Seeing about 30-40% of pistols turning orange 1/4th of the way from tips of pistols all throughout the colas, along with a decent swell in Calyxes.
~Slightly early flush, Day 49 (was day 50 last grow). but maintaining Calcium and Potassium and micronutes from the BigBloom should compensate for lack of NPKfertilizer until harvest (Im 100% Assuming just based on previous grow, which I wasnt using FFBigBloom+Blackstrap on) so im hoping for a larger swell by the time I see about 20% Amber.
----- Only concern with timing my “Flush” is I am seeing an explosion of new white pistols right now, so im wondering if I am cutting FFTigerBloom a bit too early. I just remember the pistols changed FAST last grow in a matter of days it went from 40% orange to 90% orange.
I also have raised lights to a total of 24" from tops and have reduced hours to 10-ON/14-OFF
Estimating 2-3 weeks until harvest ready (Week 9 or 10) — Could be sooner/longer, going to need some advice from you all on that end

A ton of the upper cola leaves (Small ones) are cupping inward and downward- im not noticing slow growth or any other health issues on the plant, just this, so im THINKING its normal/not a problem? – cant find any info on google on it.
