Defoliation
OutForRealanswered grow question 5 years ago
Yes do it , the reason is simple , like you said they will not be productive. To cut them will redirect the energy to the tops and so you’ll get a better yield as the plant will only focus on the most productive parts.
Moreover you are on week 2 of flowering when the plant is starting to focus on the bud production, it’s a good window to do it

Pre-flower defoiliationI flipped my lights to 12/12 about 4 days ago and I don't believe I done a well enough job on defoiliating.
The plants are healthy but the canopy looks a little crowded.
Can I defoiliate now or should I wait until the pre flower stretch is finishTechniques. Defoliation
