“He who plants a garden, plants happiness.” ~Chinese Proverb The point of defoliation is to “hack” your plant’s natural processes in the early part of the flowering stage to cause it to grow its buds and colas differently. You’ll notice in the picture examples that the defoliated plants seem focused purely on bud development. Growers achieve this by removing fan leaves from healthy marijuana plants during early bud
development. As a result, plants put more energy on growing buds rather than leaves. Defoliation is the only way to achieve plants that are ALL buds, like this Aurora Indica plant. Blue Dream is another strain that responds especially well to defoliation. Growing auto-flowering plants? Use this defoliation tutorial instead. In the wild, your plant will spend some amount of energy on buds, as well as some amount of energy making and
maintaining leaves. However, if you defoliate your cannabis plants early in the flowering stage, you change the plant’s natural growing patterns. Without as many leaves at the moment buds are first forming, your plants puts more energy into making colas, and the colas will be longer, thicker, and go down further into the plant. Theories Why Bud-Based Marijuana Defoliation Works… - Wind-pollinated plant –
Cannabis plants are wind-pollinated, and therefore don’t fatten any buds that lack access to wind. Defoliation exposes more buds to a breeze.
- Buds get more direct light – Cannabis buds grow fatter when exposed to strong, direct light. Defoliation exposes buds to more light.
- Energy diverted to buds – A defoliated cannabis plant focuses on bud sites during the initial part of flowering. It simply doesn’t have leaves to put energy
into!
Did You Know? There are other commercial crops, like cotton, which also need to be defoliated early in the flowering stage to produce the best quality and yields! Whatever the reason, defoliation works to dramatically increase your cannabis yields and bud quality when you do it right!
