Defoliating right in the beginning of flower is a no no...you want your plants going full blast in these critical first weeks of flower :) Leaves are solar panels which give plant energy to grow :) I really defoliate after week 4 of flower. 😀
Such a beautiful plant ! It's kind of surprising your pheno had only 6 weeks of flowering , I grow this strain too outdoors which may hardly finish in 8 weeks
