Just remember.......... Less leaves = less energy being made = less growth. Leave the leaves would be my advice, if the plant would not need them, it would not grow them in the first place! Cutting off perfectly healthy, green, energy producing leaves and forcing the plant to grow new leaves to replace the ones it lost, seems rather counter productive to me....and no doubt, to the plant as well! Or to put it another way......... Maximum amount of leaves = maximum amount of energy production = maximum amount of growth.

This is perhaps the only issue Organoman and I disagree on... Removing leaves does a number of very beneficial things for a grow - it lets light in to the lower bud sites, it increases air flow (preventing funguses to take hold) and requires the plant to put its energy into the buds, not the leaves. But you should always have a reason for defoliating... not all plants require it... and I certainly would never EVER entertain the idea with a plant that is still in veg... if they're blocking light, you can always tuck them away. If you want an interesting, informative article to read on this, check this one out - I find I refer to it frequently as it has a lot of good things to say - tells you WHEN, tells you WHY, tells you HOW... https://www.growweedeasy.com/nebulas-super-simple-3-step-defoliation-tutorial Good luck - but leave the leaves on for now at least!
