Can safely snip at least 5 or 6 of the big, top leaves.. leaving the little ones to grow out again :)

Can anyone give some tips on defoliation? Is it bad to do it now that I've just started flower? Was thinking of just hitting the lower area of the canopy and leaves covering bud sites?

The buds are growing and I have questions if I should defoliate in a so small plant. Should I? What else can I do to increase yields? Is it close to harvest time?

Trimming
I acideently snapped a branch a little bit but it's still hanging on. Shall I cut it off or leave it?. She is an autoflower. Also should I cut off the very bottom leaf and new node its growing?

The latest photos show the growths in Bruce Banner that look like hermaphrodite eggs. Do you think this is eggs or am I wrong? Would you destroy the plant at this point or break off the eggs and continue to observe? For good, I must destroy the plant. But there is still weak hope

Looking for pruning/defoliating tips
I have several tented plants under 12 hour light and I am looking for pruning/defoliating tips. Pics attached. For one, should I take out some select fan leaves to let more light down?? Lots of branches, too, maybe prune some smaller ones? Thanks for your help! John D.

Defoliation/pruning at start of week 4?
Is it too late to remove the lower fan leaves/side shoots when I’m going into week 4? She’s really dense and bushy and was hoping to thin her out. I should have been more aggressive at the beginning, but I wanted to see if I can still remove much material this late in the game.

Where to prune fan leaves?
Ok y'all, was hoping for a simple, hands off grow with just one topping early on. These babies have turned into dense bushes, and I want to defoliate the undercarriage a bit. Fan leaves are huge from the base to the top, so do I just prune out the lower, older fans?

Wondering if someone could take a look at my plant. I think it was a bit hot yesterday, not sure if it is heat stress. Not sure if it is Nitrogen Toxicity either because of the dark leaves. Maybe this is normal? Can someone shed some light for me? Thanks!

So this plant is in week 8 now, 50 days and still hasn’t formed any flowers- seems to be vegging forever. Light schedule is 20/4 - breeder says will flower at 18/6 - is it not going to flower because it’s getting too much light? Is this possible for an auto? Any advice? Thank you
