Hi growers. I am almost 2 weeks into flowering and...

I would just go with LST to spread her wide open, and then you have enough room for the sun to penetrate right thru every angle giving light to leaves that you are planning to defoliate. The buds would grow vertically even if your stems are nearly horizontal so you always get the biggest ammount of light in the buds making energy transfer from big leaves not so much necessary but allowing for the plant to use those undefoliated leaves as a backup if anything goes wrong with nutes, pests or simply days when the plant decides to act like karen.
