Thinking it could be boron deficiency. The first signs of a cannabis boron deficiency is abnormal or thick growth tips along with brown or yellow spotting on new leaves.With a boron deficiency, upper cannabis leaves display abnormal and/or slowed growth. Growing tips may not grow properly, may display twisted growth, and may die off. New leaves may wrinkle or curl. Plant roots can also be affected by a boron deficiency, showing unhealthy or slow growth. Stems may become rough or hollow. Boron deficiencies are more likely to appear when a plant is underwatered or experiencing very low humidity (very dry air). A plant with a boron deficiency may look like it has a calcium deficiency because boron is needed for the plant to properly use calcium. New growth is affected the most, and may look like it’s been burnt or scorched. A boron deficiency is often accompanied by an apparent potassium or nitrogen deficiency, as these nutrients are needed for the plant to use boron.

Yes but for example CP#3 doesn't need much defoliation. Week 3 of flower is ideal for a good defoliation. Only remove what seems to be necessary but not any more. It's best to remove a leave here and there than to over defoliate and create a significant change/stress to the plant. At this stage of flowering you will have significant growth still ahead so pluck away 👍

it depends on the high you want. The more amber the more 'couch lock'. Mostly cloudy with a few Ambers is going to be a little more uplifting. My CP was harvested when mostly cloudy with about 20% amber. Its mellow creeper and is a good evening smoke and easy to sleep...if not conk out in the chair ;) My Hindu is also mostly Indica and I harvested it with mostly cloudy, still a few clear and only a few Ambers. Its more 'up' and I cant toke it too close to bed time.
