She looks great. Only thing I would do is get some plant wire and stretch the branches out a bit so the canopy is a bit wider. The more leaves you chop the smaller the buds will be. Also its good practice to pick any dead leaves away. Dead leaves help promote rot and noone wants that. Good luck and Happy Growing.

that gal is super bushy and your rh is at 60% so i’d just defoliate that to avoid fungal problems. also pluck each and every damaged leaves with the petioles because thats breeding ground for pathogens.

At this stage I would just let it go and do its thing. It is not necessary to defoliate, it certainly does not happen naturally!

Beautiful grow.... but yeah, she's awfully bushy and so I would recommend some defoliation. You want to do this a little bit at a time going first for leaves that are shading other bud sites. Let the plant rest for a day or two before going in for more as it can be stressful to the plant. What you want to accomplish with the defoliation is to get both light penetration (bigger secondary buds) and air flow (less of a chance of bud rot). Use really sharp, sterilized scissors or clippers and get as close to the branch as possible and remove all trimmed leaves from the tent afterwards. Good luck - you're going to have a GREAT harvest!
