Leaf Stripping Method

I have done this method for my past 2 grows and I can say it has worked extremely well with the strains I was running. One was Island Sweet Skunk and the other is posted here TGA Tester “The Secret”.

It has always been common knowledge that a bit of stripping was beneficial but everyone always told me if you take too many leaves the plant will stress and stunt the growth. I am now of the opinion that if your plant is having any issues, the strip could stunt it as the combined stress would have poor effects. If your plant is 100% healthy and stripped, it doesn’t seem to do anything but help imo.

I will run a side by side soon with 2 clones of the same strain, stripping one aggressively and the other just removing the major light blockers. This may be different with other strains, but at least its going to be verifiable data.
