I havent defoliated before because im afraid of cutting essential leaves (since i have read that some leaves are like veins of the MJ tree and they should be kept). How do i know which leaves i should cut and which ones i should leave?

I usually trim the big fan leaves along the main cola first. But don't be afraid. Most of the time you have to remember your growing nuggets not weed. The small sugar leaves you keep. But any big ones blocking light i cut.

Remove the leaves that are linked t the trunk 1st if they are blocking light then carefully remove those that are blocking light to the lower budsites.

Since you’ve not defoliated before, you want to start slow and only take a few leaves off at a time. To start you want to take 3-5 fan leaves and take the ones blocking bud sites. Wait a few days and take a few more. Look at the top of the plant from where the light would be shining down on it and you should see which leaves are blocking bud sites. Alternatively since you’re already halfway through flower you can also not defoliate and continue the grow as is.
