i would break up the defoliation up in the week before flower a little and a week after a little, your plant is going into flower and you want to help keep her stress levels low. so break it up and you will be fine

You can do a little first 2 weeks into flower, remove what you want the last 2 weeks. Cheers

Moving plant in flower indoors.
If I move one of my plants in flower, indoors, will it be worth it ? I have a 400w HID. Anyone who does/ has done this before ?
