#9 Defoliation, Light Stress Training (lst), and timing your harvest for different effects! Marijuana Cultivation Cannabis Podcast

Welcome to another episode of Marijuana Cultivation Cannabis Podcast! We are thrilled to have you join us on this exciting journey. Today, we delve deep into three pivotal topics every serious grower must master: defoliation, light stress training, and the art of timing your harvest to achieve the perfect effects from your bud. This episode is packed tighter than a vacuum-sealed bag of the dankest herb. So grab a notebook, light one up, and let's get our grow on!

First up, we dive into defoliation. With countless strategies out there, each successful in its own right, it's clear that this practice is as much an art as it is a science. We'll explore various defoliation techniques, focusing primarily on removing those large fan leaves to improve light penetration and air circulation. Learn how to strike the perfect balance, avoiding the pitfalls of over-stressing your plants while maximizing resin production for more potent buds.

Next, we explore the fascinating world of light stress training (LST). This non-invasive technique involves gently bending and tying down the branches of your cannabis plants to create an even canopy. Discover how LST can boost terpene production and enhance your plant's overall health. From identifying the main stem to securing branches with soft ties, we'll guide you through the process step-by-step, ensuring you achieve a bountiful and aromatic harvest.

Finally, we tackle the most debated topic in the cannabis community: harvest timing. The key to a perfect harvest lies in understanding the trichomes. We'll teach you how to use a jeweler's loop or an electronic microscope to examine trichomes and determine the ideal harvest time. Whether you prefer a heady, energetic high from clear trichomes or a relaxing, couch-locking effect from amber trichomes, we've got you covered. Plus, learn how proper drying and curing can enhance the flavor, potency, and overall experience of your cannabis.

But that's not all! Stay tuned for the latest news in the cannabis world, including a surprising court ruling on marijuana users and gun ownership.
