Do I need to trim more?

Do I need to trim more?
This is my first successful attempt, 2nd grow ever. First was a disaster (this one too, almost.)
I am petrified that I trimmed too much. But - when I see others plants, I'm questioning if I actually need to do more. Thank you in advance!

I would say your doing just fine! Looks like you got all the lower branches and foliage gone so that’s good. In the Kyle Kushman theory you want to keep the top 3-4 nodes on each branch that reaches your top canopy and remove everything else. He really goes to town on defoliation so I wouldn’t worry to much about over doing it. Lol check out Kyle Kushman Super Cropping on YouTube or Google. There is one video out there he trims a large plant and explains what and why he does what he does and it’s really informative for defoliation. Really good guy to watch for info on a lot of things regarding cannabis cultivation. Hope this helps, cheers 💨

Honestly, if you trim much more, you won't have any plant left at all!
Removing too many/more leaves will further reduce your plants ability to produce the energy she needs, to be able to grow her flowers.
As someone who grows as naturally as possible and only ever uses LST as a technique and never defoliates, not even one leaf, seeing plants like this is quite confronting for me!
Cheers and good luck with your grow! ,.......

From the way your week 7 pics look compared to the way your latest look, you've done a clean job in my opinion. now mostly just sit back and let them work. be selective and get leaves that have long stems or the ones covering good sites..
looking dang good so far

Defoliate or not yet?The breeder (AutoSeeds) says they work better if you don't LST to much and focus on the main cola. Should I select a few of the large leaves and defoliate them to get more light in the middle. Just don't want to pick the wrong ones. Hope I have enough images to help you help me.

Defoliation soon after SupercroppingI am thinking of defoliating my Blue Cheese. I supercropped it about a week ago and the growth is powering. I want to do some defoliation but I am unsure if it is necessary, or if it is too soon after supercropping.
