Hazebergstarted grow question 10mo ago

I'm thinking about to remove the 2 huge top leafs to give more light to the lower branches. What would you suggest? Keep them or remove them?

every flower should get as much light as possible. if lst is not possible, defoliating sounds like a good next step. I would try to tuck the leaves under the branches, if not possible i would cut 'em off 100%

To top again? Or not to top again? That is the question. I'm working in a 2x4x5 tent so my height is limited. Not sure if I should flip now, or top the two mains again and flip at the end of this week? First photo grow so this is just one of many. Thanks fellow growers!

Help! I have The biggest question of them all, what is the best advice you can give to a first time grower who thinks they’re heading into harvest? When, how, curing, etc... I got jeweler loop and I do see some that are cloudy on the large colas. Not so much on the smalls ones.

I am noticing that many parts of the plant do not receive enough light. Would you recommend cutting any more knots? (I do not know if it is advisable to prune any branch more once the plant is in flowering) or simply remove a couple of leaves.

One of the three plants in the 5 gallon DWC is almost ready, a good 2-3 weeks before the others. I assume I have no choice but to flush the entire tub with plain water for a week before harvest. I will then need to resume nutrients for the other two; good or bad idea?

Light penetration for inner defoliation?? Outdo High, y’all. This is Dark Star from T.H. Seeds. She’s a broad-leaved Indica 3 weeks into flower. Looking up into my plant I’m getting 15% light pen or so. Should I be shooting for a certain percentage or perhaps clean out a majority of the inner veg? 2nd year (legal) grower.
