It's usually fine to prune fan leaves that are blocking bud sites or could lead to a moisture issue. 8 shouldn't be a big deal unless you are already short on leaves. I usually prune a few leaves here and there throughout flowering. I usually pull off the really low buds that won't get light as soon as they form as well.

Just remember, each healthy green leaf you remove will decrease the amount of energy your plant can produce, meaning slower growth.
I am anti defoliation and recommend only removing yellow leaves.
Or to put it another way - maximum amount of healthy green leaves = maximum energy produced = maximum growth.
Hope this helps,......

Defoliate more, or let it rock for now? 5th week inShould I continue defoliating and removing leaves to increase light penetration on this one? She's incredibly bushy and just exploding with leaves. I trimmed 7-8 larger, lower leaves last week and am hesitant to do more until at least next week. Idk, what do you all think?

Trimming around buds pre week 14I’m wondering.. should I be trimming the leaves around the buds so the buds get more light? It just occurred to me that I don’t see all those leaves on other diaries? Would it help the buds mature with the extra light and nutrients not goes to leaves? The video is from a week ago3 years ago
