I checked your grow diary. Considering your plants are in week 7 of flowering and you've been managing some nutrient-related issues, defoliation could be a delicate decision. Generally, defoliation at this stage can be beneficial for air circulation and light penetration, especially for lower buds. However, since your plants aren't very large and have already faced some stress, heavy defoliation might not be necessary. A moderate approach, where you remove only the most obstructive leaves without stripping the plant too much, could be a safer option. This will help you avoid additional stress while still providing some benefits of defoliation. Remember to monitor your plants closely after any defoliation to ensure they respond well
