Defoliate only if light penetration is poor.
And try to remove older leaves if u decide to. Ones that are damaged or blocking important bud sites
Also a technique my granpa showed me leave the stem of the leaf attached because the plant will pull all the remainding energy from the stem
The leaf stem will fall in a few days leaving a very clean removal at the main stem(less stress).
some growers defoliate around day 20-25 and again around day 45. there are many different methods people use to defoliate their plants. i remove lower leaves that will not help in bud production and any leaves that are shading bud sites as well as yellowed or dead leaves.

So I just got back from a five day trip. I watered right before I left but had no one to water while I was gone. Their doing fine though except for the white widow, she suffered a bit of nute burn. I flushed all the plants, should I cut off the leave that are a little burnt or just leave them?
can you post a photograph so we can see the nutrient burn and then advise you?

It's not as bad as I thought so I just cut a couple of leaves off, my camera is on vacation with my girl friend right now and all I have to take pictures with is my phone but it doesn't really show to good what it looks like. All is well with the plants I hope, just watered them again today with som molasses

yes it does look like either a nutrient burn or a nutrient micro deficiency (calcium and magnesium).
here is a nutrient deficiency chart

perhaps you will receive a better answer by posting a few photographs here

i would leave the leafs on the plant, a leaf can still add energy to the plant with 15% or less surface area.

i defoliate the lower areas and any leaf that is shading a bud site.

well its been a while since i last posted but everything is going good with the girls right now. Its been about 6 weeks now that they've been under 12/12. the 2 Red Dragons that i kept for myself both look different and one seems to be about 2 or 3 weeks behind in terms of growth. i got a chance to take a look at the girls that i decided to keep with a friend so they could be outside. needless to say i wish i had just taken them to some place out in the boonies and done it myself, he didn't listen to anything i said and although the buds seems like they are about done, the plants are really lanky looking and looks like they will yield less than the plants i kept in my room.
anyways, this first one here is the Red Dragon that looks to be behind in growth
this here is the other Red Dragon, shes coming along real nice, I think shes going to be the best yielder.
this is the Strawberry Blue, the one that i accidentally broke the main stalk
This last one is the White Widow, not sure what shes suffering from, i though it was a Mag deficiency but I figured she only has one more feeding than it'll be straight water until shes harvested.
When i stop giving nutrients should i stop with the molasses as well or can that go on until harvest?

some growers use either pH adjusted water, pH adjusted water and molasses or a flushing agent for their final flush period before harvest.

yes molasses is fine to use right up until harvest with your flush if you like, i have used molasses in my final flush.

your plants are looking good. i would slightly lower the nitrogen your are feeding, the downward curled sugar leaves is a sign of too much nitrogen.
