hello fellow growers

i have a question regarding the benefits of removing a large portion of leaves in mid flowering. I have watched some videos which claim the benefits can increase your yield by up to 20 - 30 %

opinions and experience is greatly appreciated

I wouldn't advise it! The leaves are like the solar panels for the plant.

When you remove them you remove potential production IMO.

However, I've seen some examples too, of ppl stripping they're plants, but if I'm not mistaken, they start with this during veg right?

And sort of train the plant by stripping it??

the buds feed from the leaves, so you can trim the leaves out that arent connected to any bud. Usually this means the under leaves, that arent soaking up much light any way.

trimming out all the fluff the light doesnt reach will surely make your top crowns bigger as the plants put more energy into the main cola rather than the fluff at the bottom where the light doesnt get to

Purpose of Strain Hunters

Our planet is home to millions of species of animal and plants with their own habitat, and each plays a unique role in the perfect design of nature. Unfortunately many species of plants and animals are victim of uncontrolled human development. The sole intent of Strain Hunters is to identify, locate and retrieve cannabis landraces that have not yet been studied, in order to give scientists and doctors the possibility to further enhance knowledge of the cannabis plant in the medicinal field.


Preservation of Landraces

Cannabis, one of the most ancient plants known to man, used in every civilisation all over the world for medicinal and recreational purposes, is facing a very real threat of extinction. One day these plants could be helpful in developing better medications for the sick and the suffering. We feel it is our duty to preserve as many cannabis landraces in our genetic database, and by breeding them into other well-studied medicinal strains for the sole purpose of scientific research.

Cannabis should not be illegal


One of the goals of the United Nations, published years ago in official reports, was to wipe out the cannabis plant from the face of the earth by the year 2010. In reality this is far from being achieved, because man keeps using the cannabis plant for religious, medicinal and recreational purposes no matter what the law says. Most cultures cannot comprehend how a plant can be made illegal. In most people’s perception, plants and animals stand above a status of legality or illegality, they just exist in a higher design of nature that goes beyond human laws and regulations.

Nevertheless most governments of cannabis- producing countries are implementing drastic measures to destroy crops. Dangerous chemicals are sprayed over fields and over the farmers themselves in most of the third world countries, and the poorest people of the planet are the ones paying the highest price for cultivating a plant that does not kill. But in the economy of scale, where demand dictates supply, the poorest people of the planet have no choice but to cultivate cannabis as a cash crop to feed their children and send them to school. Communities that are isolated in remote areas in the poorest regions of the planet are often the keepers of very special landraces.
