hello my friend For this plant, the golden rule is simple: touch it as little as possible. Like you said, she's already very stressed ("stunted"), and at this point, every leaf is a backup battery that she desperately needs. ​Here is my analysis for your last two weeks: ​1. Why NOT defoliate more? ​Lack of shade: Defoliation normally serves to allow light to pass to lower sites. Here your plant is so small and airy that the light already reaches every millimeter of the flower. Removing leaves would serve no purpose other than to deprive it of energy. ​Nutrient reserves: On a stressed plant, the leaves serve as a “buffer”. If the plant lacks something to finish its buds, it will draw on its leaves. If you take them away, she won't have any more stock. ​Unnecessary stress: Cutting leaves triggers a hormonal response. At the end of its life, you want the plant to put 100% of its energy into the trichomes, not into healing. ​2. Your harvest estimate (2 weeks) ​Pistils: We see that a large part of the pistils (the white hairs) begin to turn brown and retract. This is a sign that the end is approaching. ​Inflation: The calyxes (the little balls at the base of the hairs) should still swell a little. ​My opinion: 2 weeks seems like a realistic estimate, but keep a close eye on the trichomes (the resin) with a magnifying glass. If it is for your personal consumption, wait until they are very milky. ​3. What you can do instead ​Flush: If you use mineral fertilizers, it may be time to start watering only with clean water to improve the final taste. ​Mold Monitoring: Even a small, dense bud can become moldy. Maintain good ventilation until the end. ​In summary: Leave it alone, enjoy its last colors, and prepare for drying. It won't be huge, but it looks very resinous! I hope I was able to help you. I wish you a good day and good luck

Keep all the leaves, there isn't enough to create humidity pockets, its small so its getting plenty of air

I´d remove just the lower leaves that are almost touching the ground, keep humidity under 55% and good ventilation for 2 weeks more until the ripening she looks very cool and beauty😍

That’s both cool and cute as hell. Don’t defoliate anything, too little leaves. I love that you kept it, so freaking cool.

My thoughts are let this run finish, dont take anything away from that bud and stop using automatics and use regular or feminized seeds

Nothing useful to add. Sorry for the loss. At least the one bud looks fine😋More like you cut one off a healthy plant and put it into soil😅 OT: Nonetheless, this looks awesome for a one bud stump 😅 Just enter Photo of the month, it's time for some snow and christmas decoration!😹 Better luck for your next grow. edit: Perhaps for the next one.. Sometimes it's better to not waste your time/soil/space. (Well .. also holding on to a crippled atm.. so I am not the one to talk 😹
