Awesome job 👌😁 I'd let it recover for 2 weeks and then start pulling off anything that isn't a sugar leaf. I'm all for more Sun and less trimming at harvest. Check out my diaries to see how far you can go before yield is impacted.

Rule of thumb don't remove more then 30% of the plants leaves and try to only do the big ones blocking light and airflow.
They will just regrow if in veg and if in flower its removing the potential of the plants as they get their energy from the leaves.
Also your light seems like it is not level in 2nd pic after defoliation is done,

Just finished my first harvest and I was surprised that I ended with an ounce for my plant. I don't know if this is common? Please take a look at my plant before harvest, and see the size of the buds and what I ended up with. Maybe its too dry after 7 days hanging . Any tips?Week 13

I've been taking tons macro shots and I've noticed there are some small white dots in the leaves (especially young ones) that look like small trichomes but I don't think they are that. I wonder, what are they? And what's the most accurate and/or scientific name for those dots?Week 3

This is my first grow and I'm not sure when to harvest. I have one plant with lots of frosty trichomes and a few orange hairs. Then another with a lot of orange but not a lot of frost. The third seems to be behind with mostly white hairs and clear trichomes. See pics Dec 16.Week 12

Humidity in the tent - is it a problem?
Outside the tent in the garage it's 7° C (45° F) and 70% RH
Inside the tent (with 800 W heating), it's nice 25° C, but 20% RH
I can bump it up with wet towels/spray
Any other growers with similar circumstances / advice?Week 5
