In my opinion you have take a few to many here in this instance! However that being said they look healthy and I would say they will survive and grow on they will just take longer.
I recommend you have a read up on defoliation because you have already grasped the technique on growing and good job main lining. However you must remember that the plant relies on her leaves to absorb sunlight to help the plant growth and bigger sized buds. And other factors come in to play like stunting or shocking the plants, which can ultimately end up putting hard work to waste.
@growdiaries have just released an article on defoliation etc in the journal page. Hope this helps you my friend and happy growing
