Hey man.
About this defoliation thing you mentioned. I gotta say that I really believe that you want as many leaves as you can get with the exception of pruning scraggly bottom branches on tall plants.
The best plants with the biggest buds got those buds from energy absorbed by the leaves...
Pulling leaves can really bum on a plant and yours look kind of sparse as is. Just my 2 cents since you asked... &Best of luck brutha

You should also know your genetics as it would be a very good way to stress your plants and possibly throw nanners.

Haha... all the local growers I know here call em "nanners" too.
I call them female pollen sacks not that it matters...
Man, they're highly valuable on one hand too though if you should encounter them.
Oh and hey, from the personal brain archives. Heres a neat experiment on the detriment of defoliation directly to bud development. Yes the buds will grow but... compare:
Take a plant and strip all large leaves off a single branch. That branch will have smaller buds than elsewhere. seems to me from my experience that its generally a branch to branch idea

I'd worry more about the yellowish tinges, & yes to make female seeds. certainly.
Only plants that are stressed very badly give herm problems in the future generations. maybe our opinikons differ. its a biological response for survival that occurs in nature though. I like to use the ones that kick out on overly aged buds.

The offspring of these plants seem to be coded with that same panic gene and definitely produce female pollen sacks in the future. I've perhaps personally been lucky with the true herm issue doing this but then again, I'm not selling seeds. I've mainly used this to keepp strains alive and preserved when no males were available. Shit man, I still have my NY purp from '98 because I did this. This plant currently acts just like any other standard male pollen produced plant ... well so far anyway.
I used gibberelic acid on a mother at the time. I rated how pissed off and mutated the individual offspring were by how many female pollen sacks they'd produce. The ones with only a few were used. Believe me I understand what's happenening but hey you're probably right and if I were selling these I'd definitely not want the gene pool intergrity being questionable. its helped me out though.
In fact, that strain now has calmed down and doesn't even produce female pollen sacks , "nanners" unless it gets light leaks or other stressers

How long to harvest??
Hmm... well if light was preventing a 12/12 or less schedule, um... about 8 weeks perhaps. (Or more)
Personally, I start flowering stopwatch when its hard set in and on its way. Confusion in the plants lighting in this stage is critically bad.... button that down and just watch the progression of buds
