Should I defoliate these mephisto creme de la chem indicas. Roughly 53 days old. Have done some lst, tying down the main branch and a few others along with a previous defole

Air Pots....Nice.....
I’ve grown that strain and if u don’t train her, open her up, lollipop and general defol, it will grow too tight and compressed.Should I defoliate these mephisto creme de la chem indicas.

Yes. I've also heard great things about them.
My problem is the cost. I get grow bags for pennies practically so spending $20+ for a pot doesn't make sense for me for the improvement in dry weight I'll yield.
Exactly. Yes air pots are great for root health but is it worth it for final dry weight?Not sure if the one's I bought are knock off (copies) but I got 3 x 9L and 3 x 3L air pots and it only cost me £24 GBP, roughly $30 USD.
I've used cheap plant pot's, fabric pots, air pots and plastic bucket and to be fair the best yields I've ever had were from buckets. Although the yields were more likely down to the style of grow / genetics rather than the type of pot/bucket used.

I don’t do autos anymore and the CDLC was my last. It was a long time ago and my grows have come a long way since, but I kinda left her alone after some initial training and I didn’t like the results compared to how I do things now.
I wish I had a pic of it but I don’t…..it was over 3oz and the size of a regulation basketball……
Everything would have been better had I spread her out….just my opinion. It is a solid strain . Very funky smell. I describe it as a Hobo’s morning breath after he takes a sip of a grape smoothie.

Beautiful! They look happy! I'd probably remove most of the water leaves to allow more light to hit the bud sites running up and down the stem.This is how they're looking just now. This is after a defoliation a couple of days back.
Not sure if I should do anymore with one in flower and the other just going into flower but yea, these are going to be bushy girls.
I have done lst by tying down most of the branches and bent the main stems over, have even removed some.of the lower down branches, just disnt go OTT on them but still looks like there will be more leaf than flower

Water leaves don't photosynthesize nearly as well as younger leaves and use up a good amount of plant energy to maintain themselves.
Yup! I did a hard defoliation on my current grow and after a couple weeks you couldn't even tell that I did one!I'll give them a quick defoliation just now and get some more pics up.
Just a couple of days back when they were done, the leaves weren't as big. They seem to grow quick.
I generally only remove the big fan leaves and leave the smaller stuff unless it looks wilted.

Check it out. I have links to the two I have going currently in the sig below. One's in a 2 x 2 and the other is in a 5 x 5. Both using the ScrOG method.
@Bill284 switched to the Airpots and grows pretty big plants. He's got other tweaks going on as well so maybe hard to say how much the pots contribute, but he likes them plenty I believe.Exactly. Yes air pots are great for root health but is it worth it for final dry weight?
