I just watched that video and this is my personal view on it .
2 key things stood out at me , in one sentence he says "I don't care if they stunted as they big enough already" and in another he says " I leaf strip so that they all drink at the same rate and They all can be watered at the same time"
To me this sounds like he is bacily stopping all vertical growth and resetting all the plants to the same drinking level. He has a point to the drinking as it's a pain when you have a lot of plants on different drinking cycles and his plants are way to big for the style he is growing since he us actually only using a 3rd at most of the plant for flowers .
Personally I would never in a million years do this to my plants , I am all for defoliation but not to that extreme. I have stunted plants by removing to many leaves to soon . I the end your plant will recover and look healthy I am sure , cannabis is a tough plant, but with no side my side comparison done with clones from the same mom in the same area you will never know if it works or not.
In the end of the day home growers can take a lot from the pros who grow hundreds of plants at a time but he has a specific reason why he does it and that is to stop vertical growth ( basicly ending stretch at day 14 , a week early ) and to even out there drinking patern. What was ypur reason behind it
Anyway brainfart over , just my 2 cents and I really do hope it works out well for you
Ps I an a fan of defoliation at day 1 and 21 , this isn't from a video either it's from testing and seeing what works for me
Awe Reaf! What you're saying makes perfect sense. Hopefully it all works out for us. I left 2 of my 10 plants with most of the leaves on. In the same environment. So lets see! Maybe this is all bullshit, maybe it's not. Only time will tell.
BTW, I see bongalong's using alot of your pics on their insta. Y'all brasse?

I am stunned lol that plant may grow a few pairs of nuts after that . Would have been better to do it at day 21 as well , it's still stretching at day 14
Awe, I'm doing mine tonight (day 21). BUT you okes scare me ekse... Now i'm two minded. narnia[/member] which leaves did you leave on? Just the ones where the buds are?

I'll be butchering my ladies this week 2. I'll pray for you

GML (Grand Master Level) on Youtube has tons of vids and live shows on leaf stripping. He hits it hard end week 2, I think to try and avoid too much bruising, and nothing major thereafter. Concur with Justin that mostly you'll see people hitting it at week 3.
His vids and shows have got some great info, though largely repeating his topping tech, leaf strip, and aggressive flush, over and over. Well worth a look IMO.
Awe, I've seen a few of his videos. I haven't topped any of these ladies.

That's the game plan, I want to do it with half coz it's crowded, I don't like chopping any buds though. Meh! Hahaha
Any tips?

Wow !! very nice and I see plenty bud sites which is great. The Cobs with serve you well

16 days since flipping. Planning to do some defoliation on day 21.
Ran into a Cal mag deficiency and also found some fungus gnats. Bombed those bitches twice and they're all gone for now.
I'm not feeding at full strength coz I got some burn earlier on. Going with the flow, learning as I go along.

I was just about to say the same thing. Get 'em outta there boet. I think they've already been restricted.

Howzit everyone
So I chucked some seeds I dug out of my smoking box into little cups a while ago and threw them under a 11W light with an 18/6 schedule, just for the hell of it. Not actually expecting to flower these, I just wanted some plants to oogle at every now and again.
Anyway, one of the seedlings has got very broad leaves. The length/width ratio is nearly twice that of its siblings. Will it eventually grow out of this? Seems like it might just be a random happening. Also, is it a fairly common occurence for ZA bagseed to have fairly broad leaves? I've seen some pics of swazi on this forum that have moderately broad leaves when compared to say, Thai strains.
Cheers, Danny.
EDIT: attached a picture for the hell of it. This pic was taken a little while ago. The one behind it has grown into slightly thinner leaves, while this one in the foreground has maintained the ratio on the developed leaves and the young leaves appear to be filling out into the same broad shape.
Awe Danny. I've found on my last grow my leaves were broad. Some okes said i was sold an indica dominant seed instead of what I actually ordered. But the leaves thinned out. If it's going from broad to a narrower leaf, i think that means it could be a hybrid? I don't know. This is my theory. It'll show later.

The pan cyan i will do in mini monotub
The rest i will do in monotubs
I'm doing grain spawn and not a pf tek
No idea what you just said, but i will google
Yeah the whole mycology culture has a language of their own
It's quite interesting now that i think about it you can determine the interest level of someone by the vocabulary used
Or I'm just really stoned
Very true. If you're interested, you'll learn the lingo.

Morning guys. Been battling to upload pics from Tor browser so I opted for the imgur route. Lets see if this works...
Day 28 and the girls are looking good.
Only time will tell which works better, full leaf strip or the usual defoliation. I'm starting to think that on plants this small, normal defol will be the better option. 2 of the girls just got the normal defoliation.
