Start be removing the lowest leaves and any lower bud sites that aren't doing anything. Be careful not to remove too many of the leaves at the top but a couple off is ok

Should I defoliate my 7-week old autoflower
It’s very bushy and some bud sites are covered with leaves. I’ve been tucking those leaves to improve light coverage but I’m not sure if this is enough.

All 3 of these seem to have different issues, have labeled the pics with the different plant, also got this one: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/10809-northern-lights-auto-fem-g13-labs with similar issues, not sure if those pictures will help as well.

Tagliare?
I don't know if I should cut the two largest fan leaves, because they cover all the lower branches being compact? Should I cut them or wait? Keep in mind that in a week I'll set the timer to 12/12.

Should I defoliate?
Hello everyone my plant has grown VERY bushy and the fan leaves are crowding together and turning each other upside down. (See second pic) So I was wondering if I should just take off the fan leaves from the secondary shoots.
