No. Don’t do that.
Also, stripping the leaves off was not something I would have done. Those leaves were the home of most of the photosynthetic activity. They’re also resource banks for the plant, and now they are gone. It’s like giving blood before running a race, and then not wearing sneakers.
This is an auto and ive stripped it almost bare twice already. I will strip all the big leaves off like he did aldo. I just leave on claw leaves and sugar leaves for the last 2 weeks and i couldnt be happier so far. Seems to work out for me.
You’ll never know if you would have more flower if you didn’t defoliate.
Shaving things always makes them appear bigger.
I know cuz I’ve left leave and stripped some side by side … not much difference but there is less larf that’s for sure when you strip for light penetration tword… end… whicle the plant is at height of photosynthesis till about 75% mark and and for remaining 25% there should be enough buds to catch most light after strip… all green material in a plant can perform photosynthesis so with that being said stripping the leaves dosent hault process like slot assume… I have tried both ways and clean bottoms first half and strip for last half at a slow steady rate couple leaves every couple days …she wont know she lost em and you’ll have less trim waste
Flowers do not participate in photosynthesis. This is an objective truth.
Where do you get your info to say it so authoritatively and be so wrong… any cholophyl containing GREEN SURFACE can photosythesize… that’s elementry…
1000 google searches will confirm that to… it dosent have to he a scientific method to be legitimate info… I mean plants can live with 0 leaves… if no photosynthesis is happening as you say that plant CANNOT live… that’s how they breath in less words… if you stick a plant in the dark it will eventually die… if you strip all leaves off it won’t because it’s still photosythesizeingAnd that’s from a school study… so
I’m not interested in this.
Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts. Chlorophyll, when present in a chloroplast, is instrumental in photosynthesis; however, when chlorophyll is present outside of a chloroplast, it does not drive photosynthesis. Furthermore, chlorophyll isn’t the only green pigment found in plants.
There are compound leaves and single leaflets in between the clustered flowers of cannabis plants. Those do have chloroplasts, but they do not have the same surface area as what we’d call a fan leaf.
I’m careful to separate my opinions from objective facts. I think it’s unwise to defoliate an entire plant, believing it will increase flower mass. My opinion is based on the scientific findings that I just explained. Readers are welcome to conclude what they want, and I don’t argue with them. I will correct misinformation though.

I LOVE where you got your name… It’s Hilarious 
:3 yeah love that show , wife has compared my behavior to his so why not
My favorite episode is “Medical Marijuana” Bouncing around, LMBO
XD one of the best , all his stunts are just so ridiculous
So wheres a cactus leaves…
And here’s an article from Berkley… your just wrong… yes chloroplasts carry out photosythesis… but all green pigmented surfaces have chloroplasts so…
Take a breath. Write down what you think I said that has you responding this way. Then reread my posts and see if I actually said what you believe I said. It seems like you’ve misunderstood me.
I sometimes misunderstand things; we all do I think. It’s probable that many older (though sometimes recent too) scholarly articles present incorrect information, even though their findings passed contemporary peer-review. Scientific research will probably always improve methods of observation, which causes them to revisit prior findings.
If I seem insistent about something, it’s probably because I see a claim as harmful. I do not think new growers are served by advice that encourages extreme defoliation. Nobody needs to take my disagreement over a technique personally.
That the entire false state ment… like 3 false points all green leaves have chloroplasts… all green pigment has chloroplasts which all green surfaces perform photosynthesis and are capable… cactus have no leaves
… most succulents done have leaves…
That statement has been edited you said before sugar leaves dont have chloroplasts… another dont preform photosynthesis… y did you edit it man… no one said anything about surface area… area is not an issue the buds WHICH I WAS TALKING ABOUT. Can catch light and prefrom photosynthesis and reduce airiness when lit up tword end of flower… not a debate it’s a fact
You’re quoting me, and saying the quote states something it clearly does not. And let’s just clarify. Are you implying that I edited a post hours after it published? Worse still, are you implying I did so to save face?
Yes to both
I know what I read…I can still tell you from the top of my head… you said tyere are 2 different kinds of leaves 3 finger crows feet leaves and single fingers …the single leaves aka sugar leaves in the flower do not partake I photosynthesis for they do not have chloroplasts… that’s exactly what it said… now look at it you said nothing about surface area… you said they dojt have chloroplasts even tho they have chorophyl… and without chloroplasts you cant have photosynthesis… and ybats false statement as well blue green algea has no leaves and no chloroplasts and still can preform photosynthesis
And here’s how algea doesn’t without cholorplasts
And the entire disagreements
… this is what you said that originally was the issue AND FALSE… what part of the flower dosent preform photosynthesis as an objective truth… because I said the buds can catch light and they sure can… might not be optimal as a fan leaf but you still get better penetrstion… u of all pll should understand the inverse square… PLUS a bunch of shading leaves… why do you think all plants natural have larf to the bottom… if you train a plant you get 0 larf on scrogs solely because light penetration… you cant deny this…
Well not so much light penetration in a scrog bit you do all your growing in a roughly 10 to 12 inch thick canopy x X/sq feet needs x amount of led wattage… it’s a math problem at that point…
Lmao
Lol like trying to obiwankenobi me …well I’m a jedi to man so
