Too many leaves?

So everything seems fine but I feel like there are way too many leaves that over shadows what's below. Should I do something that could be beneficial? Or just leave it as it is? Maybe some defoliation, little by little, to not stress the plant? It's in week 9 now.

You could be just removing the lowest leaves and a whole bunch of these lower flowers to get bigger main buds. Get rid of the smaller leaves who dont get much or any light in that stage but keep some bigger ones she will use them for the flowers in the late grow. I personally would get rid of every little flower and suckerbranch that sits under the main canopy so they doesent take energy away from the main colas...

Thx for your answers~ So I'll proceed with the defoliation but will go slowly and see if the plant reacts.

Try to take out only the fan leaves that shadow bud sites..You can defoliate definitely in flowering stage but it needs more to take care not to overdo it..I see it plant healthy so fine it a try,you will help with humidity and airflow also the lower parts😌

Hi there. Definitely do a defoliation..open the bud sites, take ot all the leaves from the bottom up. At least to the 3rd node. It will let some more light thu and get some air thru your plant. The less moisture and damp build up the better. Will help against fungus and diseases. Good luck
