Why not leave them to see the results?
You may be surprised at the results..............they might even give you reason to question why defoliation is what people think needs to be done.
A small bit of lollipopping never hurts, but should have been done a lot earlier than now.

It depends on what you really want. If you want the plant to produce bigger heads, you lollipop and defoliate " a bit more" but sometimes less is more.......I use my hand and hold it in the middle of the plant and see wether its in darkness or still light/air entering. Just go for and try, maybe with two kinds of the same plant and see for yourself. Looking at your plants, you cold defoliate more, bt yo hold have done this way earlier, at the beginning of flowering. For now I would leave them

Looking at other plants, mine seems to be full of big leaves and prevents light to prime bud sites. Growing an auto with the lowest amount of stress I can give I am wondering if I should trim the leaves that prevent the most light to prime areas. Thank youWeek 4

Do I need to trim more?Do I need to trim more?
This is my first successful attempt, 2nd grow ever. First was a disaster (this one too, almost.)
I am petrified that I trimmed too much. But - when I see others plants, I'm questioning if I actually need to do more. Thank you in advance!

Late trimming?To trim or not to trim, that is the question!
As I enter week 10 of my grow the canopy has be come a little crowded with some fan leaves and depriving some bud sights on much needed light. Is it ok at this late stage to clean up the canopy and remove these fan leaves?
Cheers!

Should I defoliate light-blocking leaves from my NL auto?My NL auto is at D40 and is growing well. She's developing a good lot of cola's with nice bud sites. Up untill now I've been able to tuck the leaves away, but it's getting more difficult to keep all bud sites cleared as she keeps growing. Should I tactically defoliate?6y ago

Popcorn/ mini branches keep/remove?Buds are tiny not fattening at week 6. I also have lots of popcorn nugs. Being first growth not sure to remove them or keep them at this late in flowering (week 6), might stress the girls out or might even help fattening buds?
Should i clean up the leaves as well?

Defoliating the auto on the late flowering stageThe canopy is very dense with a huge amount of small leaves I can't tuckle because of their size. It's a deep stage of flowering. So I wander is it safe to cut 30-50% of leaves to improve light penetration or it would be better to leave it as is?
