hey there F, looks great to me man, more bushy means more side shoots, means more yield, so obviously defoliation should be as light as possible , i wouldnt recomend it at all after this week actually. Why not pluck the bottom one or two leafs on each cola, lollipopping them like this should free up some space on the grow for the air to flow better and push the plant to concentrate on making it's remaining flower nodes fatter . Hope this helps ! 🚀
