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

Cut off leaves for better bud development?
I saw some diaries where plants have nearly no leaves and produce a nice amount of good looking buds. Is it recommended to cut of most of the leaves at the end of flowering, that the energie goes into bud development?

Should I remove these leaves? Only the ones with the worst signs of the Deficiency?
Basically I’m going throw a calcium deficiency in week 7 of flower, feel like I’ve already fixed the issue by flushing with pH balanced water and reading the right nutes to the medium. Overall should I trim these fan leaves with deficiencies? And does my plant look good?

How do I drop my RH down when nothing works? Check Diary. Will defoliation be a good idea? Open tent door and leave it open?
My 2x2 is starting to crowd. This is driving the RH to over 70%. Should I defoliate to help with crowding and RH? Or should I just leave it alone? RH in lung room is 48% Exhaust fan, high or low with a dehumidifier, doesn't work. What should I do? Defoliate? Thanks! Check diary.
