Big bud dwc

I assumed you were talking about the buds that you already trimmed. If you still have some to harvest, then they will be ready within a week so defoliating now won't really do you any favors, its just unnecessary stress.

I would. Ypur bud will taste better, burn better, and be more potent. The sugarleaves have trichomes and THC but the buds have so much more that the inclusion of sugarleaves will diminish the overall THC. Save the trimming though and dry sift or use another method to make hash.

De-leafing will just reduce your plants ability to make energy, slowing growth and potentially limiting the size of the flowers. Try to only remove yellow leaves and leave all the healthy green leaves to do their job of providing the energy for your plant to grow her biggest and best flowers, without interruption to her metabolism, which will occur if you do any sort of de-leafing, especially during the flowering phase. Just remember; less healthy green leaves = less energy produced = less/slower growth. It is basic plant biology! Hope this helps,.... Organoman.
