Overall decent Strain, heavy high with a sweet tasterisk. Buds could have been bigger but had to keep these short due to space. Happy with result really 19Oz bone dry. 600w hps with 2 chinese style Leds apparently 1000w output but only using 130w used as side lighting. See how the nxt one goes. Same set up room etc... but gorilla bomb see if the yeild any different. Decent bud tho loads of thc light green fruity couldn't complain really turn out a nice smoke/profit win win round two updatest shortly

I always trim when they get too bushy. The key is to not take too much. So I try not to take 2 leaves from the same site. I take leaves that are blocking others or are in the middle and cant get to the light. I lollipop for the most part on every plant. I dont think I could go a whole run without trimming anything. It is almost always neccessary.

I always defoliate in flower up until about week 5 or 6. Usually about once a week or less if needed to allow light to penetrate the canopy as much as possible without over doing it. I've never noticed any negative effects and it does seem to help get a beefier harvest.

I think light defoliation during early flowering should not be a problem. Just make sure that it's not too much.
I usually grow bonsai-style plants, due to height constraints, and there i regularly have to defoliate, even up to mid-bloom.
So far it never seems to have hurt my plants, but then again i wouldn't have a real comparison that wasn't defoliated, but with the other factors being the same to see if the result would have been any better.

Nice looking photographs! Regarding your question, Defoliating the lower leaves, who barely have access to any sunlight is always a good idea. That way the other bud sites have access to more nutrition as the lower hanging leaves (the older leaves) won't take up any more nutrients from the younger top leaves that will actually form the proper high-quality buds.
