Nein, nein, nein!
Your plant needs every leaf she has to make the energy she needs to grow her biggest and best flowers.
Just remember -
Maximum amount of healthy green leaves = maximum energy production = maximum growth.
Hope this helps, Organoman.
I would not defoliate at this stage only during veg. Esp if shes almost finished your plant tents to take nutrients from the leaves and all the extra stored goodness. This is why when u flush your leaves go a different colour. Hope this helps my friend.
