Being that late in flower I wouldn't defoliate much if you do. You want to stress the plant as little as possible so it doesn't get stunted or hermie on you. Honestly, those plants arent that bushy to begin with and you don't want to strip off too much of its way to make food. I personally would leave them as is, but if you really want to prune them a bit, I would get rid of the most dead-looking leaves and only do a few per plant.

Hello to all the padawans and Jedi masters Nothing to report, the plant is healthy and has an exceptional smell I think I’ll harvest it this week Because the trichomes are starting to turn amber at over 30% How do you know when to harvest? The cannabis harvest window is one of the aspects of growing that is unfortunately too rarely taken into account, or the grower simply doesn’t have the patience to wait a few more days to ensure maximum THC content. Some strains are better if harvested before their peak THC production, while others are better if harvested afterward. There will always be some variations, but you can use the rules below to help you assess the best harvest window for your plants, based on the trichomes: 1) Perfectly formed trichome heads that are still clear will give you a cleaner, more uplifting high with less sedative effect; this is the best harvest window for heavy Indica strains. 2) Perfectly formed trichome heads that are becoming slightly cloudy or milky; this is probably the best time to harvest most of the hybrids currently available. 3) Perfectly formed trichome heads that are completely cloudy or milky, with at least 30% turning amber; this is generally the best harvest window for late-maturing Sativas like Haze. It’s also the right time to harvest when you’re using the plant to make hash. The mistake to try to avoid is harvesting before the trichomes are perfectly formed; most growers who follow the previous rules will harvest when the majority of the resin heads are milky. Harvesting before this window will produce buds that are less potent, containing fewer essential oils and terpenes, and your harvest will have a grassy or hay-like taste, even if it is dried and cured properly. May the force be with you 💪
