Hi! It looks like the flowering is still in early phases so if you feel öike you can still defoliate. But from what I understand it is not that important in outdoors cos sunlight penetrates leafs easily but artificial Light does not

This question isnt for this plant but i already asked a question on the other diary. I think i overwatered my autoflower and i was wondering what the best way to speed up the drying of the soil to maybe counteract that?

Should I cut fan leaves (autoflowering)?
I have this Dinafem auto (first grow ever). A friend told me to cut all the fan leaves and bottom branches. His claim is that the buds that these branches yield are too small and it is more productive to make the plant focus its energy on the top buds. What do you think? Thanks!

When to flush and harvest and should I defoliate again?
When to flush and harvest? I think I am close but my gut tells me to keep it on the current nutrients and feeding schedule for another week or 2 and then flush but also don't want to leave it too long.. My stash is all but empty. Also, should I defoliate again?

I was really careful when defoliating so far and the plant is really bushy now. Should I remove big leaves blocking lower colas for more light penetration at this stage, or should I wait for stretching to end?

Defoliate?
I'm debating doing some defoliation. Is the growth of this plant bushy enough to benefit from it? Newbie here.
