did i mess up? lol ive read both ways. i defoliate...

You are near the end anyway so I dont think you messed it up but you could have left a few fan leaves here and there ;) Don’t worry though

So i would say next time leave a few... you did save yourself some hassle of dealing with them later. But if you do this heavy defo...definitely do it when the harvest window is very close. Most of your pistils look discolored so it can't be far off. If anything continue to water but add a tablespoon of molasses to help bulk up, but then of coarse you'll want to briefly flush that out.

Hey Growmie, No, you didn't mess up there are plenty of people who defoliate near harvest especially anything that doesn't have trichomes on it.

Yes you did! It all started way back when you started to drink Pepsi. Switch to Coke you won't make that mistake again. 👍👍 From The White House

By taking off all the fan leaves your plant won't fatten up anymore. They don't need a ton in flower but they do need some. Hopefully it all works out for you thou. 👊

Hey buddy, your plant looks fine to me.By defoliating, your plant’s lower bud sites will be getting more light and fattening up.I don’t think you mess up.All you have to do is wait for plant bud fattening up and flush your soil about two weeks before harvest.
