Defoil more or not? Remove small buds?

started 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. π

Different Phenotypes?
2 plants from the same seed type purchased together. They look really different. I thought the one with the swollen calyxes was hermed, but research said otherwise. But one has trichomes and decent smell while the other has faint smell and no trichomes to speak of. Thoughts?

Two plants smell great, the other two have no smell.
2 of my plants smell great, their genetic smells are starting to come through but the other 2 still smell like plant matter, could this be an issue maybe linked to my calmag deficiency? or Is this the development of new phenotypes for these strains? thanks, sou

Auto NOT flowering!
My hempy is still growing faster and greener than the soil grow, but she's not flowering! I see preflowers, but no buds forming. The other plant has been budding for a week. Any ideas? I could try a dark period but don't want to interrupt the 24/7 schedule of my other plants.

Harvest time?
is it time to harvest? this genetics bloomed at 2 weeks and so I think it should be ready to harvest sooner than usual. Do you think they still have a lot to get fatter and grow or they will only mature from now on.
