Yes you can defoliate and then flip to flower.
You can defoliate at any time.
Just remember you can take more off but you can put more back.
I defolate here and there throughout the grow cycle.

Why defoliate?
What for?
Are there any benefits to be had?
Why do it "just because"?
Remember...............less leaves = less energy being made = less growth.
It is that simple!
You will not get more or bigger buds from defoliation, only less.

I would not defol at all and just let them ride out you can let them try and recover for a few days and soon as they look good flip to flower after 21 days you can defol some

see no reason to defoliate any of those plants, but of course you "can"
don't take off more t han 33% and shouldn't be too stressful.
