Yes, I would come up make the bottom a little flatter by removing more leaves and suckers. Then I would remove quite a few of the largest fan leaves towards the tops. You want the fan blowing through the tent to be able to make all the leaves dance just a little in the breeze. This will stop the mold, mildew, bud rot type situations. Hope that sheds some light 💡 on you situation. Happy Growing!!!

A plant can not "move energy" to any specific area, all energy is used throughout the entire plant equally. You do realize this magical energy is produced in/by the leaves, right? Less leaves = less energy produced = less growth/slower growth. Your plant needs every leaf it has to produce the energy it needs to grow her biggest and best flowers. Otherwise she would not grow the leaves in the first place! Some well considered "lollipopping" is useful if you don't want to deal with small shitty buds, but leaving as many leaves as possible will ensure the fastest and largest growth occurs. Personally I am dead against any type of defoliation and only ever remove yellow leaves, for by the time they are yellow, they have served their purpose. Hope this helps,....... Organoman.

Hi mate, I think you've done a great job. Just bare in mind the more you take off the more the plant has to replace. I did a defoliation and withing a week or so it was all back. Best to only remove leaves that are blocking light to lower sites. otherwise just tuck them out the way. You will need every leaf to create the energy needed for fat flowers. I hope this helps, good luck and happy growing
