Shall I defoliate again?

Satta

I defoliated heavily starting week 6, but now 5 days later it's getting pretty dense again. Shall I do another round or would it stress her out and mess with her photosynthesis? Please see diary for the progress.

It looks like you still have plenty of light penetration and airflow. I don't see a reason to defoliate again. Let her recover and only defoliate for one of these reasons: 1) need better light penetration to buds 2) need to bring down the RH or increase airflow if mold is a concern 3) the leaves aren't getting light and aren't valuable for photosynthesis 4) the leaves are sick and dying If you cannot truly say you're defoliating for one of these reasons, then leave her alone. Good luck!

Defoliating is a very controversial topic, 10 growers will give you 10 different answers. That been said, the plant will always try to regrow foliage after defoliating it. Personally I don't like it and only pluck shaded leaves to improve air flow.

You are good to go with the defoliation. From week 5-7 after 7 just remove any big fan leaf blocking colas. And you will be fine plant looks great by the way .
