Update for the Girl Scout Cookies Day 6 of Flowering
These are such resilient plants. I bent them, tied them down, probably removed 50% of their leaves just yesterday and this is how they're looking today. Classic before and after photos.
This was yesterday after haircuts and training
And here is the after photo taken about 18 hours after chop chop and bondage.

That's amazing! Just cannot deny the importance of genetics and solid horticulture!Update for the Girl Scout Cookies Day 6 of Flowering

Wow! Nice work, beez!

Good genetics @Weed Seeds Express , good lighting @Mars Hydro , and good nutrients @Prescription Blend are the three most important elements with medium right up there.
Nice tight trim beez, and of course the plants look like that today! And in a week you should have the almost the same number of leaves that you started with, just in different places. 
The plant knows how many fans it needs to grow. That's why so many folks who defoliate their plants in veg will come back a week later and say "It looks like I didn't prune anything."
As I recall, the THC content from larf is not much lower than the tops, but the size difference is extreme. That's growth hormones at work.

I'm of the belief that larf isn't larf because of a lack of light, it's larf because the plant really doesn't give a crap about the lowest flowers. Their growth is distracting the plant from the upper colas (the ones that will attract the pollen), which is why I take off the larf (leaving the fans...see above). And training is what allows the lower growth to become tops in the end.

So @InTheShed you are not a fan of defoliation?
And many people make fun of my plants because usually there is nothing below the canopy other then long skinny naked legs. I may have said this before, I hate trimming bud and would rather have a smaller harvest then spend time trimming fluffy little buds.
And many people make fun of my plants because usually there is nothing below the canopy other then long skinny naked legs. I may have said this before, I hate trimming bud and would rather have a smaller harvest then spend time trimming fluffy little buds.
I am a fan, as long as it's done for the right reasons at the right time. I recently posted this in another thread, but this is why/when I do it:
You can use the fact that the plant will replace its fans to your advantage by forcing the plant to redirect new growth to the top. Why do you want it on the top when translocation will move nutrients around regardless of whether it's getting direct light? Because it's not just light that builds the buds, it's plant growth hormones.
And where does the plant send most of those growth hormones? To the tops, which have the best chance of catching pollen on the breeze for reproduction.
So by moving new growth to the tops, you can increase the growth of your main colas.
And how do you make sure the plant focuses on growing those main colas in flower? By removing the lower bud sites after stretch, not the lower/adjoining fans. If you remove the lower fans, the plant will try to replace those fans (as mentioned above), but you don't want the plant's energy going to growing new fans in flower, you want it growing buds. And you want those buds at the tops of your plant because that's where the plant should be sending the growth hormones.
I'm with you beez! I hate trimming and want no larf at harvest.

Girl Scout Cookie update for today Day 9 post flip. The canopy is starting to spread outward and upward now thanks to the @Prescription Blend nutrients and the amazing @Mars Hydro FC-4800 grow light. Someone had asked me where the Durban Poison leaning plant went. It is still there but moved to the front right of the tent. It actually is a little darker in color the the other three and the leaves are thinner. Not much more to say, the plants are progressing nicely and starting to start to produce budlettes.
Looks like cruise control to me! You really have sorted out the Rx Blend system from the looks of it.
Nice!
I'll be a little jelly if my plants don't look as good as these hotties!
As shed said......cruise control

Well I'm only as good as the support staff around me. You guys, especially @InTheShed kept me pointed in the right direction. So thank all of ya'll for that.
The folks at Prescription Blend had the best suggestion for getting the nutes balanced! It is their stuff after all. 
Lookin’ nice Beez.
Are my eyes playing tricks on me, or does the Durban leaner look to be flowering faster?
