i wouldnt defoliate in flower, you dont want any shock at all, so just put it on cruise control and ride it out. folks overestimate the importance of slight shadows, afterall you're in a reflective box so even the bottom and side leafs always get some light. THey're healthy and not showing any signs of problems . Does that make sense? Hope this helps! 🚀

Thanks for the replies! I always heard that defoliation up to 3 weeks in flower is ok. They are now almost 4 weeks in flower. I defoliated very slowly to avoid shock. Strains: Liberty Haze (Barneys Farm) Skunk #1 (Sensi Seeds)

Too crowded. Dont be aftraid. Take off all fanleaves at once they will look very bald at first but your plants are healthy and will recover With end results u never seen before. If you done defoliating u should see the bottom very easy and it should look like sticks with budsites (dont cut the small fanleaves on the budsites)

I'd take a few more off each one.The one's facing inwards that shade the buds.There's two schools of thought.Iv been told from the early 90s not to take the leaves off but in the last several years some people ahve been stripping the majority of leaves off twice during flower.I now take around a dozen off each,just the ones that shade the buds.
