last night I defoled, according to the "three a light" schwazz technique, pics added to the journal. I did not enjoy being so harsh to my plants, I hope it bears fruit. added more pic pages to the journal.
after a night to recover the plants are all fine, but I notice (dont why it didnt click before) that the light penetration is absolute, I mean what a waste of photons, I could lay along side the pots and get a sun tan, such a waste of light and electricity.
At this point i feel some regrets, so unless I hit a sizable increase at harvest I think I will revert to my "screen of green" where not a single photon gets past the sentry line of fans and not a photon goes to waste... ;-( time will tell.
