This week has been quite calm. The bud sites are starting to fill out throughout the canopy after defoliating. The smell is getting stronger. It's currently sweet smelling like candy but it's beginning to get a little stank to it. You can see trichomes beginning to form on a lot of the the top leaves. I held back a little on defoliating last time so I removed a little more at the end of this week since I was still within the first 21 days of flower. I'll be increasing the flora bloom this upcoming week and I'll hopefully see a great increase in bud size.
Should I remove the dead part of the leaves? Specifically remove the brown parts of the leaves and leave the green part to save them for trim? If so how could I go about removing them without getting brown crumbles everywhere?
