Clean them up or leave them alone

I would like to say if your are not sure.. Do what u think to do for 1-2 plants rest leave them how they are and at the end u will see the deference , then u will gain experience for your next grown what is better 💪😎

At this stage of flowering, defoliation would be non beneficial in my opinion. Just remember......... More leaves = more energy production = more growth. or......... Less leaves = less energy production = less growth. Lollipopping some weeks ago just as flowering was commencing would have provided the most benefits, but it is too late now, so just leave them be and let them do their own thing would be my advice.

looks like decent airflow to me.. any condensation occuring due to overlapping leaves? leaves are your friend... keep as many as you can.

Definitiv unten entlauben :)
