Salut le jardinier ! de ce que j'ai compris tu ne dois pas enlever de feuilles pendant la floraison pour ne pas choquer la plante et ta plante a déjà une belle forme avec les 4 branches autour de la branche centrale . tu peux peut être enlever quelques feuilles a la branche centrale mais pas trop et en tout cas arrête si il y a déjà des buds . bonne chance a toi bella ciao

Hello, I think doing some defoliation is almost always a good move, as long as the plant is healthy and has many leaves. I would go and remove about 4 of those biggest leaves from the top area for some added light penetration, and then as soon as you see budsites forming go in and clean up the whole bottom area of any branches or budsites in the shade of the canopy..that'll channel the energy into the top biggest buds at the most crucial time. You can always do it along the way too if you think you didn't remove enough, or when more grow in as it does it's flowering boost. Definitely start thinking of a bigger place for them if things are getting tight, however you can open it up for nice airflow and good light. Happy growing. ✌️

yes, i do trimming of the bigger leaves also during flowering, to ensure light can get to the lower bud-sites, as well as to ensure there's proper air-movement possible (also to keep humidity in check).. especially if humidity is high, you want proper air circulation, so it won't start molding..
