If it's sativa dominant, then yes, definitely. If it's indica dominant, then maybe. I would remove a few either way. Even if it's too late for it to help the buds get bigger, it should help with ripening and terpene profile.

At that point in flower it will be fine to defoliate. I like to think mine out close to harvest to help with trimming too

Flawless Finish for flushing before harvest when using organic nutrients?
Does anyone have any experience using Advanced Nutrients Flawless Finish for flushing when using organic nutrients? Have you been happy with the results? Any loss in terpene/flavor profile? I'm currently growing Acapulco Gold (Barney's) using Advanced Nutrients full organic line.

SilverSol vs Colloidal Silver 4 Feminization Of Autos?
Question: are there any differences in structured silver solutions like SilverSol "SS" vs regular silver like Colloidal Silver "CS" for feminization? Both are interchangeable for most purposes. It seems SS has more active ions, would that be a bonus? They said SS 10ppm = CS 50ppm

White patch in rootball of harvested plant
I just harvested this plant and after looking at her rootball, I saw a white patch close to the stem (see pics), does anybody have any idea, what that might be? Also, does anyone have experience with checking soil after harvest and "learning" anything from it? Thank you <3!

Defining “Dry Weight”
What is dry weight considered for GD? Any general consensus? Seems subjective and I hate trimming bud and cut off the good stuff and toss larf and not so sexy buds in the trash. It’s usable but I have no need for most of my harvests and tend to grab the high end jewelry and run.
