Here's my input. I have quite a bit of experience with this so take it for what it's worth, and I believe that blunts has it dialed in for you. One exception is with the leaves, if you are suggesting to remove healthy leaves to get light to buds, don't. Leaves are the carbohydrate factory for your plant, so if you do remove healthy leaves you will impede your plants ability to create tissue. If you can tug on a leaf and it comes off with NO resistance, than it should be done. If you feel any resistance, don't remove it because it is still transporting and creating.
