Hey.. first of all, I don't know why you're addressing your question to me - this isn't a chat forum - you can chat with other growers privately by using the little airplane in the bottom right-hand of your screen... But since you've asked me, I will say that you did as much defol and I would have done and I think it looks good. As long as bud sites aren't being shaded, you've certainly got enough air movement through at least your big pup... hard to tell with the little one. But no, it looks good to me...
Cheers...
