You are correct. Take one or two here and there as needed. It will actually increase the trichome production a bit. Trichomes are the plants defense. Acts like a sunscreen and a taste deterrent if an animal is eating the plant. So plucking a leaf here and there daily will trick it into thinking an animal is nibbling on it so it kicks in a trichome boost. Be smart though. Don't overly stress her. Just a light daily stress and she will he covered in sugar

Hey, it's pretty late into flower to be defoliating, but I'd say 3 weeks is just within range. I'd just remove the big fan leaves covering bud sites, but other than that don't remove too much. Happy growing!

Rust spots on leavesHey guys, please help me identify the cause of these rust spots on leaves. Seems to progress in last couple of days(spread).
Might this be a light/heat burn? Or some nute def?
I added CalMag on previous feeding.

Calcium deficiency?Hello everyone,
I need your help once again.
I have just spotted some brown/yellow dots on 2 leaves of my plant.
Did some research and looks like Calcium deficiency, but still wanted to ask you.
If that's a Ca deficiency, should I add CalMag next time I feed her?
Thank you ✊

Brown spotsHello everyone,
I have to ask the same question, since that problem is spreading although I give her CalMag.
9 days ago only 2 fan leaves had those brown spots, now almost all of them are affected, especially higher ones.
I wanted to feed her once again and then start flushing
