Defoliate or not touch untill harvest?

hey 👋 For auto-flowering plants that germinated 10 weeks ago, their growth seems quite slow; looking at them, they still need another 2 or 3 weeks. If you harvest soon, you’ll be disappointed both in yield and potency. If you can afford it, it would be worthwhile to boost bud production with a late-flowering supplement. To answer your other question, there’s no need to defoliate: you would only be depriving them of energy, and they really need it 💪

They look like they need a few more days the majority of the pistils are white and standing straight. I wouldn't defloliate because leaf is important and you're bare enough there. Well done first grow is exciting
