The buds are growing and I have questions if I should defoliate in a so small plant. Should I? What else can I do to increase yields? Is it close to harvest time?

I noticed some white growth in middle of buds and am wondering if it is bleaching? I posted a couple pictures of the buds. I did move the light up. Was at 28" but some that have the white are over 30" away. MFG says 30-42 away from plants. I can't go any farther and I'm at 30

Es wird immer mehr Blattmasse. Was kann bzw. darf bzw. sollte ich abschneiden? Darf ich LST noch weitermachen und die Triebe noch in die "richtige" Richtung leiten? Ab wann sollte ich den Blüte-Dünger verwenden? Vielen Dank schon mal für eure Antworten. Ich liebe diese Community

My tent size is 120x90 (3x4). I use 2x Mars hydro sp250, would you run each at full power (total 460w) or should I dimm them to a total power of 400w (or maybe something else)? *The question is what is the optimal power for the best results and not about a higher electric bill.*

Schwazzing sativas? Yes or No?
Does it makes sense to defoliate (schwazzing) sativas before switching to 12/12? I have done it in former grows (indicas and hybrids) successfull but i dont have expirience with 100% sativa strains. Thanks for every advice! :D

Seem to be having overwatering issues - moving forward I’ll definitely wait a little longer before adding more water, but anything that I can do at this point to try and improve things? Or is it just a wait it out scenario? Any insight would be appreciated.
