Defoil more or not? Remove small buds?

Arasari
Arasaristarted grow question 6y ago
As i have never mainlined a plant before im asking if i should do some more defoliation or remove some small buds at the bottom. Will this help to gain some more yield from the main buds?

At this point i'd just leave them. Make some bubble has with them or even butter.. I wouldn't cut anything off. 👊

Flushing before harvest? Really? Any good science evidence to support or just commonly held belief?Is flushing the last two weeks something that really affects flavor/quality of harvested flower? Consensus among websites support it as real.... (But plenty of commonly held beliefs such as you shouldn't swim within 30 minutes after eating aren't true.)
