Defoliation every 3 days during flowering

I doubt she needs anything more than 3 leaves taken off . Defoliation is for huge plants. Yours nice, but small, leave her a chance to perform well. Better open canpy with LST and few wires.

No don't do it, your plant is relying on those very leaves to make the energy she needs to grow her flowers. They are the solar panels that power all of your plants growth, health and every other function. Just remember............ Maximum amount of leaves = maximum amount of energy production = maximum amount of (bud) growth. It really is that simple! Far better to tuck or train any leaves out of the way of any "bud sites" you might think need more exposure. Cannabis has evolved to be at the pinnacle of efficiency and performance. This peak of greatness does not involve removing healthy, green, energy making leaves "just because everyone else who believes in ghetto science does". In close to 40 years of growing, I am yet to come across a plant that gets rid of its own leaves for no reason or supposed benefit.........ever. Defoliation is like disconnecting 2 cylinders on a race car then expecting it to do the same lap times! Your plant will grow its biggest flowers (and in the fastest time too), with as many leaves as possible making as much energy as possible.

I would only defoliate as needed. You want to maintain a canopy that is not too thick. Allows air to pass through. Especially if leaves are praying. Plants in different substrates, and different environments will grow at different speeds.

i wouldn't remove more than what you think is necessary for good airflow... leaves are solar panels. if you wanted a bit more light penetration to lower levels, carefully select which leaves will allow the greatest light to some lower leaves. Don't strip too many from any 1 branch. less is more, really. ATP is mobile. Light hitting local leaves is better than relying on ATP being trucked in. I still think you maximize the light by removing as few leaves as possible mainly due to inverse square law and how it relates to distance from light and spreading out on 2 axes
