Is my defoliating game weak sauce?

For real though should I be taking off these fan leaves more to expose bud sites? I feel like I'm not getting the number of tops I want but I'm terrified to take too much off. From my dairies, I Loli and cut up a lot from my perception. Any guidance would be grand :)

Yeah looks a little crowded in there. I would be going quite heavy as I have high humidity so need to reduce it. But I understand people's thinking of keeping as many leaves as possible . If you have not done it before just selectively defoliate any leaves blocking main tops . And make sure you trim off any potential Larfy buds under the net.

let the budites get bigger, and then you can look what you pick away.....everything under the scrof is tabo ( except bottom area)... always remeber, everything you take away the plant tries to reproduce

Just take a couple big light blockers from the top everyday. The plant can lose a few leaves without stressing. Some people want to go at it all at once and as few times as possible, but a big defoliation can take awhile to recover from, whereas just taking a few everyday shouldn't have any recovery time. Of course, you still have to lollipop. That's stressful now matter what so be thorough if you're putting her through it anyway.
