greenAFanswered grow question a year ago You can cut off any leaves you want, but you don't wanna cut to much off, it's a delicate balance. The plant looks fine you don't "need" to cut anything. Usually defoliation is use to improve airflow or to get more light further in the canopy. To me doesn't look like you need either. Maybe get rid of the very bottom lower colas that's all I would do if that's my plant. It looks like you have a few lowers that only make it 1/3 of the way up the plant, I'd get rid of those, that's about it. Usually stuff like that is where you will get larfy buds. Don't forget leaves are like little solar panels so if you don't need to remove them for any specific reason they are better kept ( as long as they are getting light) atleast that's my thinking. Happy growing
