Hi Kiera. Was the heavily pruned "Palm Tree" specimen you showed done that way as an experiment, or is that actually the preferred method for such tall, lanky, outdoor varieties? Cheers from FL. Happy New Year!
@@KarlKarsnarkhi! these plants belonged to a large grow-op, unfortunately i was not the one who pruned them. if i had to assume, they chose the “palm tree” method since many of the lower branches could not reach the screen. any branches that cannot reach the screen would be practically useless since they’d be getting almost no light, producing almost no yield. this would be a waste of the mother’s energy that could have been going to the top branches to create “better” buds. hope this helps!
I top very early at the 5th/6th node removing just the very tip of new growth. After the new tops grow out, I tie them down in opposite directions. I also tie the 2 lower side branches perpendicular to the tops. I keep the plant short and open the canopy up wide. This seems to take more advantage of the plant's natural growth patterns. I remove only a few side branches, but I do defoliate the bottom 50%. I get more tops faster and with less stress this way.
I grow outdoors in tropical humid conditions. in the winter time with sun not up like summer solstice, can I pluck all the nodes too veg longer without problems? Thanks 😊
What about the value of leaving the lower portions to use as early warning signs of a deficiency while in flower? As nute defs appear on the bottom first.
Do y'all ever have visitors or tours . I would like to come visit your facility I realize it's University. It is a cultivation University for cannabis?
Hey Doc. Is there any "formula" for the rate at which light/photon penetration diminishes from its source (e.g. indoor light source)? I assume it's some sort of inverse square something, or other, but I wasn't sure. It's quite interesting to see the difference even a few centimeters difference in canopy height/direct light exposure. Cheers.
The rate at which light intensity or brightness diminishes from its source is known as the inverse-square law of light. This law states that the intensity or brightness of a light source decreases inversely with the square of the distance from the source. In other words, the intensity of a light source decreases as the distance from the source increases. The inverse-square law of light can be expressed mathematically as: I = k / d^2 where I is the intensity of the light source, d is the distance from the source, and k is a constant that depends on the characteristics of the light source. * Note that the inverse-square law only applies to point sources of light, and it does not take into account factors such as absorption, scattering, or reflection that can also affect the intensity of light as it travels through a medium.

How would you debate with someone who says something like cutting on plants releases huge amounts of stress hormones which slows growth for a period of time? I know an older grower who produces beautiful plants year after year who says pruning and cutting on them does more harm than good? I was just curious as I respect your opinion.
Where is the university located by the way I don't think I have asked before? Just wondering if some type of formal education might have an effect on my micro grower status in New York at least that's what I am going to do with my strains anyways.. I've got 4 acre's...

Your wasting time & food & water . Prune early use a support rod , connect rods at top with wire. At 3 foot start 12 hour. Use side lighting also. All 4 sides. When outdoors , ADD a solar system & 400 watt HPS SIDE LIGHTING ,All 4 sides. PS Use warm to hot water in your water pipe , or Bong. Easier on lungs. They like warm moist smoke.
You got that right about wasting time, food and water. I just pruned a few days ago and have already seen a big difference in how much less water it now requires.

Thankyou DeBacco University,Those are some Mighty Healthy Looking plants :) Have a great Weekend
Thanks, the plants did turn out well.
personally, my favorite method is a combo of “screen of green” and “lollipop” ! seriously improves yield especially for maximizing indoor space

This is effective and also efficient!
absolutely . my pot is twice the height of my plant. minimal lollipopping and almost daily training.
Amazing video! Thanks a lot professor for sharing this knowledge with us. Best regards from Brazil.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lollopped plants are also much much easier to trim after harvest. Thanks for the video.
This is an important consideration to take into account as well.
Invaluable info as always. Thanks for grinding out the banger content guys.
Thanks for the positive comment!
I love useing the lollypop method I always see a lot of bulk the week after I defoliate and lollipop it's awesome I love it

Love it, keep them coming. Thank you for another great video!
Glad to know you liked the video!
This has become one of my favorite grow channels. (The cute girl doesn't hurt)
Please share the channel with others!
You all do great work and as always thank you for sharing your knowledge
Thanks for watching!
Great information as always!
Glad it was helpful!

Glad the videos bring a smile to your face.
Congratulations on your valuable contributions, I love your content, short, and straight to the point! you are amazing!

Outstanding Professor thank you
You are very welcome!
Cheers.
Thanks!

Thanks!
@@DeBaccoUniversity no thank you! 🥰
Awesome info,thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Great video, thanks.
You are welcome!
I grow outdoors in tropical humid conditions. in the winter time with sun not up like summer solstice, can I pluck all the nodes too veg longer without problems? Thanks 😊
Sounds like this would work, just be sure to provide support for the plant as it will be top heavy.
Ill communicate how I feel through modern means... ❤👍🙏🤝👊👏
How about the old school way.... Thank you!
what is the material in the container showing the "traditional method", it looks like dry cat food (lol), btw is that a 1948 John Deere model M?
Combination of soil and compost base with rice hulls on top. Very good eye, it is actually a 1949 John Deere M.
Is there any forum to share about the plants?
Not directly through this channel.
Right now I do lst and topping..keeping my girls low and wide.... I want to try scrog on my next photo run..
This can be very effective some some planning and detailed training.
What about the value of leaving the lower portions to use as early warning signs of a deficiency while in flower? As nute defs appear on the bottom first.
Personally, the benefit to risk to yield is not worth keeping the lower leaves.
Do y'all ever have visitors or tours .
I would like to come visit your facility I realize it's University.
It is a cultivation University for cannabis?
Currently there is not much to see in this growing area, but you would not be the first visitor;-)

It is all how aggressive you are and when you are pruning.

is Lolipopping ok to do almond side being topped?😊
Yes, and a screen of green style of pruning would be recommended in this case.
I’ve read a study that 15g MgSO4/L foliar increased yield of Roses flower production by 28-36%. Have you seen anything like this in our desired plant?
Do you have a link to the study?

400 watt HPS side lighting for this many plants is not a feasible option.
why is there a picture of a girl next to 2 trees for the cover photo lmaoooooooooooo how weird
because i’m in the video 😅
Dahhhhh
@@kannakiera8928 Its great to see you there Kiera, hope to see you in another informative video🌲
It’s a cannabis educational video, and you’re surprised there’sa person next to cannabis plants ??!
Are you confused?
Did you watch the video?
