Defoliating this early into flowering can definitely force energy into the budsites and if you're getting limited hours of direct sunlight each day I'd want to open those spots up. Personally I'd cut away those 4-6 largest fan leaves that are sticking out off of the main stem on their own, that would open a bit off space but still leave the leaves that are attached to a branch untouched. I also firmly believe in cleaning up the bottoms of any foliage that is in the shadows, the few times i didn't do this i ended up with a lot more tiny popcorn buds than big solid buds up top. ✌️

It's called defoliation and the best way to use that method is to use it exactly the way you're planning too : only remove the leaves that are blocking light to lower budsites AND as you'r in 1st week if flowering the plant will stretch more and will have a chance to recover. When you defoliate you need to do it carefully as you don't want to stress your girl

Should I raise the light higher than the recommended hanging high to promote stretching and start LST? Right now they are about 31 inches. I'm using the Mars Hydro TS1000 and they recommend 18 inches from tops. Im getting tight internodes and wanting to see some stretch.
