Fan leaves are like solar panels and batteries for the plant. The only thing I would cut at this stage is the very bottom leaves that won't amount to anything.
Ok so don't cut top fan leaves just bottom ones

debatable nothing wrong with defoilation mate,my question is why do you wont them to stretch in veg stage?
they will double once you flip to flower the plants look great seems you did good job with the lst,but if you really want the things to stretch all you have to do is move the light up then they will get lanky stems,you want squaty plants move light down,when you flip to flower this is one way to control stretch,because in those 3 weeks of transition your gonna be amazed how they can stretch and like most us in tents your gonna scramble to keep them managable.
but defoilating nothing wrong with it and you will see the shit just keeps coming back

Can you show me a controlled study that proves defoliation increases yield? I can't find any. Just bro science.

Like what my next step will be ?

No I mean, you seem to think there is some kind of problem, but I don't see one. So I was wondering what you are concerned with. I wouldn't bother solving non issues, but LMK if I am missing something.

dont give two shits about studies mate i work from experience,some times first hands on is more productive,in a small ass tent how hell you get proper light to your soil and bottom buds with 8 inch fan leaves?
wait i have that answer for that more light right,there it is more sales gimmicks,i do very well for myself in a 2 x4 x5 tent with a 400 watt hid light,i could careless about sq ft crap and all the science crap that goes with it,you are telling the op you cant im saying you can,you called me out ,so here it is ,dont you call it bro science? mate i been growing probally before you was born and my methods are hands on,all your science stuff has one purpose only that is to convience you to buy more crap to mimic the sun and imitate ideal environment guess what there is only one way for that it called outside were the stuff is happening and it free.
so what we have here is a agreement that we both disagree leave it at that ,calling folk out because you disagree is a bit childish dont you think i even went back to what i wrote and i see not a thing one calling you out.
so hey mate take your science study and sit on it,put some hours in and then call folk out with your proof there is a difrence because my expereience has me cutting them and 2 weeks later im cutting there ass again,when they are showing flowers i then leave um be,so take it as it is,your method difrent,who to say your not growing in ideal conditions like a science lab were every thing is controled if so it that a ton of money for just growing a weed?
later mate argue with some one else

Chill dude. I'm not calling anyone out. I simply asked if you knew of any controlled study that proves one way or the other if defoliation increases yield. I can't find any.

i defoliate 2 weeks after flower for last time,but ya if you just defoliate wait about 2 weeks before you flip the lights im telling ya them plants gonna double in size.
i re looked at your pic,yep wait a week or so then flip your plants will stretch almost up to that net you have up there be right around 3 1/2 ft tall even you work your light right.
your gonna have to walk your light to control them from getting to tall mate when they stretch your gonna see that what you just took off doesnt matter it will double back.
that said i have even finished off buds with no leaves at all last 2 weeks i took all leaves off and they still fatten up,let science explain that shit hahahh.
hey do what you want it your gear this forum is for all suggestion and method but i live in texas,i have a tent in a utility room with no ac or heat i grow weed with forced wind only so thick ass leaves in my tent dont flyin no time at all i get pm with all the foilage even with extra fans in the tent,so your call mate good luck
