Thank you all in advance for your advice there!
I ask you taking a look at the Trichs and give your opinion whether I can give these girls 2 more weeks (or more..).
I see buds getting bigger each day with many white pistils. But I wonder whether I can loose the potency this way.

By appearance yes you are 2 weeks away from harvest. Pistols are still sticking straight up no signs of calyx swelling either. Which most of the weight will be put on in these last 2 weeks. Patience! Another your looking at trichomes that are on sugar leaves. Ignore these the ones you need to monitor are on the actual buds itself. Only way youl lose potency is if you harvested today weed will be weak. 5 to 20% amber on trichomes is the goal to shoot for.

buds are looking great.. The pics of the trichomes are on the fan leaves, the ones on the calyxes are the ones you should look at when referencing bud maturity and harvest times. I like only ~5% amber for most strains. If she getting larger, then I wouldn't harvest early because how mature will those trichomes be on the newly formed bud?? You should give those new trichomes a little time to mature too. π

Is my weed ready or not ? Is it still swelling or not ? Should I let it go longer or should I cut it down ? Itβs simple, is it still drinking big amounts of water or did it stop drinking like a maniac, the swell stop when the plant start to use less water than usual π By the trichomes, itβs ready for harvest, but question is, is it still swelling ?

the harvest Question is always a question of... how do you like your weed. In my opinoion, if trichome are milky weed is ready and i start to flush. But its the way you like it. From now on no wrong in herefrom this moment on. But now back to your plant. For me the Girl looks like shes ok with 8-10 days more ( good time for your Flushing)more in the comments

Should I do a pre harvest defoliation a week before harvest?What are the benefits and consequences of defoliating a week before harvest? Is it good or bad? I have tons of foliage up top and need it to go away. It's too late in flower, but a week before will open up the canopy to the lower bud sites. Any and all help is welcome. Thanks!

What Would You Do: Day 40 Defol, Yes / No?One plant's fan leaves are building trichomes, but it has more fan leaves than the other plant & they are needing to be tucked daily.
Both plants never had issues with the previous defoliating. 3-4 wks left before chop day.
So, would you defoliate one last time?

How much lower foliage should I remove?How much if any foliage or stray branches should I remove from the bottom of this plant? She's super healthy so I don't think it will be an issue with stress, but I don't want any undue stress. Should I just leave it? I'd like to avoid popcorn buds all together.
