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

My apartment's humidity is 40% - harvested buds completely dried out in under 24 hours. Should I place my next harvest directly into jars to avoid the mistake I made in my first grow? I would appreciate any suggestions (I cannot control the ambient humidity). Thanks!

Defoliate?
Should I defoliate? As you can see in the pics, only the very top two nodes are growing fans, but it is getting crowded up on the canopy. The growth in the middle is from bottom branches that didn't stretch all the way up to the canopy, might use those for edible extraction.

So I am strictly following FoxFarms full soil schedule, and want to continue veg. growth for several more weeks. If my pH levels are fine, do I still need to do a Sledgehammer flush or is it best to wait until just before the change-over to 12/12?

Cut Branches in Flowering
When do you heavy defoliate your Autoflower? She's filled my grow box with some stretch yet, and wondering if I can hack some of the branches/leaves that will never see light. If so, what is your sweet spot in a 12 week strain?

Defolation
Hey all can anyone tell me when to defolate my GSC she's now 41 Days from germination. She had thrips started at week 2-3 that's why she stressed a bit and bloom later. Preflower started 2-3 days ago, and now I don't know about the stress again or should I wait 1-2 Weeks more?
