Light penetration is good enough outdoor, so there less point doing it than indoor where light penetration quickly decrease.

Ideally in soil one wants to flush for two weeks before harvest and one wants to harvest when trichomes are 50/50.. but, how do you know WHEN to start flushing? How do you know when the plant is "close" to that moment and does this speed up the color change of the trichomes? Ty!

Last night I accidentally left a small led torch(flash light) on the floor of my grow tent, and it was switched on for about 11 hours during my dark period. it wasn't the brightest light but will it have any effect on the plants?

Defoliate?
Will I defoliate the 1st node site as shown in the picture below, when I top her? There doesn't seem to be much growth there the last week and I'm worried that there is wasted nutrients going to this site? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Do you remove small "buds" when doing defoliation?
When doing defoliation, are you removing these small "buds" (see pictures) that are not getting enough light?

4AM is on day 63-getting her 2nd flush. She has some amber trichomes prodominately on her leaves but not so much on the actual buds. Would it be safe to harvest on day 65-67, or should I let her continue maturing?
