Defoliate or not?

Yo no lo haría Hay una técnica que te permite obtener los beneficios de la defoliación sin el estrés que provoca: Hacer LST a las hojas Reorienta las hojas para fluya mejor el aire y la luz pero sin quitarlas, asi no la estresas Lo que si que te recomiendo (como te han dicho abajo) es hacer lollipopping cuando empiece la pre-floracion, asi mejoras el tamaño de los cogollos en los apices y evitas las palomitas en los cogollos inferiores

It all depends on you. Don't overdo it or you will stop the grow too much, little by little so she didn't feel it, I hate popcorn so I always do the lollipop btw I do this in pre-flowering time

Your plant is still in veg pal. There's no Pistil hairs (stigmata) on or near any of your shoots? You can take of the main fan leafs under the nodes. Also, the 1st set of nodes with the 1 fingered fan leafs. They're usually always very weak. So, id remove them. You'll see it yourself. They'll be the smallest sets of nodes. And, it'll give the others the energy they'd use. I wouldn't take too much of. You're not there yet. When you start to see Stigmata just before heavy pre flower you can take some fan leafs off again. Or if you see one node bigger you can slow it down by removing a fan or 2 off it, it'll slow down that node to help make a good structure.
