Defoliation

I disagree with those who say that they must be left because they serve as a warehouse. this we will have to say about outdoor plants, where light abounds and nutrients can be useful if you don't follow it! indoor WE HAVE to try to expose as many buds as possible to light / electricity $ ELIMINATING unnecessary and inclusive sundresses (without exaggerating of course), I don't see what problem there is in giving more food and following more? we are indoor for this right? learn to manage the pH of the medium and feed the plant for as long as necessary.

I wouldnt defoliate anything that doesnt block light.. and even then tucking and bending is preferable. Leaves are the warehouses of the plant storing nutes for future growth, strip too much and youll stunt the growth and have to use more nutrients than you should

I would do the bottom 3rd of all the branches you wanna keep. Then I would let them finish strong. Your grow looks killer!

just remember, everything you take away, she likes to reproduce,,,,keeep on growing

i would celan the bottom area and only taking away the one or other leaf. beebcause lights have changed and much stronger, and there is no morre the big need inn def

As much as you want. Try not to stress them in flower though. Just take 3 or 4 leaves a day until you're where you want to be.
