Dark green leaves are a sign of nitrogen toxicity; and it has many drawbacks: including nutrient lockout, weak stems, reduced yield for starters. So you should reduce the feeding already and let the plant consume it's reserves. I strongly advice you to get an EC/PPM meter, it will allow you to stop guessing how much to feed. Anyway, give plain water for now until the leaves are a more healthy light green. As stopping feeding at the end of the grow; once the buds stop fattening, you stop feeding, that will give you 10 to 14 days for the calyxes to swell and thricomes to mature.

Hello @PureMedicin ! I am checking the trichomes with a microscope like this ( https://www.amazon.com/Forrader-Pocket-Microscope-Currency-Detector/dp/B00JEKXBQ2 ). When i see a lot of milky trichomes above 60% i am decreasing the nutrient strength at half and when i see the first amber trichomes i make a very very good flush and i use water for the rest of their life. This will help you to have a nice yellow plant at harvest with no fertilizer taste and smooth burning. Happy growing ! 👊

Early LST defoliationHi guys, is it ok to defoliate some leafs while doing LST at the early stage of growing to get more light for the buds? Clones, day 10 after transplanting.
