Outdoors, just let her run wild! I would only defoliate at this point if the humidity outside is 70% or higher. Even then, I would be very careful not to overdo it. Removing 7 or 8 fan leaves from the most densely packed areas will open up airflow plenty. She's a beauty!

You can also defoliate healty leafs in order to trick the plant into fattening up even more the buds as she thinks the leaves will never make it anyway so she decides to spend more energy on buds, but then leaves will most likely show issues as flowering progresses but the buds will be fatter.

You can defoliate up to 2 weeks after end of veg, after that its not advised to do so. I think ur plant looks perfect no need to defoliate at all.

Looks fine. I defoil or tuck to provide more light to the bottom flower sites and provide more energy to the top of the plant. I only defoil on short bushy gals. Just my 2c. Good luck.

Topping or LST after 1st topping Last week I topped this little baby, the plant now is growing ok. I noticed that not only the two top side branches are growing a lot, but that the ones on the node under it too. I would like to make the 4 grow and like that I don't have to top more, is it ok? How can I do it?

Leaf density, defoliation, nutes, genetics, just healthy?My plants are very leafy compared to most I see. how can I expect bud production to unfold? Currently I move clusters away from each other. I twist off a leaf or two here and there to allow for light penetration. Is this my genetics? nutrient set? just really healthy?

Removing big fan leaves Last night I began removing the lower big fan leaves, but only the ones that are over 75% yellow and brown, and leaving all that are green. I saw more growth this morning so I think I'm fine so far. Should I remove the big green fan leaves or wait till they turn yellow?

4AM is on day 63-getting her 2nd flush. She has some amber trichomes prodominately on her leaves but not so much on the actual buds. Would it be safe to harvest on day 65-67, or should I let her continue maturing?
