I would say meh unless they are covering a bud site or you're dealing with humidity issues. Leaves are good for plants!

The temperatures where I am living are increasing weekly and average around 35C currently. What steps can I take to preserve the terpenes of my harvest during drying? I will be using an air conditioner in my room to keep the temperatures around 20-23C, will this be enough?

Added a picture of a bud that I pulled off, appeared burnt and dry. After taking it down the top of this bud was dry enough to grind and smoke. Had anyone had this before? The rest of the plant is still wet and plant like? See pictures....

Defoliation In 1st Week?
I've been looking into defoliation as being beneficial to bud site development and outweighing the stress negatives. I'm doing one run of defoliation in this first week of flowering to test this as my plants are getting thick. Is this too much? Opinions on this? Refer to diary.

When is a cloned plant from cuttings considered a plant, the day of cutting/trimming, or the first sighting of roots in plugs, or in my case, from the transplant date, approximately 10-13 days (good roots) to get to the first transplant stage to 4" pots with soil?

Late Defoliating or No?
Ok, so I didn't do much defoliating or pruning ever, I'm on week 11, day 25 of a 49-63 day flower cycle. Should I do any type of defoliating now or just let it go to the end? What about just the big leaves or middle leaves? I think just let it go now, right? Thanks all
