I will go a step further.... At no stage in the plants development except very early will removing one leaf make any difference

Has anyone ever heard of a strain that gets stuck on Cloudy Trichs? I'm just a few days past the proposed harvest date yet, 1 & 1/2 weeks ago I noticed 10% Trichs turned amber but, all the rest seem stuck on cloudy. 95% of the pistols have turned red, fan leaves are dying/dead

Do you think that these imbalances can greatly affect the flowering of these ladies? How can I act from now on?

Defoliate or not?
So here i have 3 GSC’s. One is growing real slow so I’ve not done LST. One the 2 that i have done LST which are bigger ive defoliated one a little bit just yesterday. I can already notice its growing taller now than the other. Think i should do the same defoliation on the other?

Should I defoliate next week?
Should I defoliate next week? Advise what would be better, leave the leaves until harvest, or defoliate leaves heavily now to expose buds only? Check my diary for photos! https://growdiaries.com/diaries/186142-grow-journal-by-liliarose

To prune or not to prune?
Hello guys. A beginner question here. Should I prune these "inner" branches or should I let them grow? They are getting a lot of light but I don't know if it's worth letting them bloom. If I have to cut them when would be the best time? I'll leave this question open until Friday.

Wet or Dry Defoliation
When is the best time to top or defoliate when growing in soil? Before watering? After watering? Or does it really matter? Also would timing defoliation with nute feeding either before or after matter?

Lower growth removal
ok so Ive let the girls grow with very lit to almost no training except leaf tucking. My ? is when can I remove all this lower growth. I haven't removed anything cause my growth has been explosive and don't want to slow it. When can I safely remove all the lower growth w/o harm?

My main question at this point is should I be defoliating some of the fan leaves to expose more bud sites or just leave it go? I've read opinions on both sides, some stating that autoflowers don't particularly respond well to defoliation and others think that it is critical
