Can I defoliate right after flipping to 12/12 or should I wait? They are bushy.

I like to do it the day or two before than flip but you can do it day after flip. Only thing I would advise is to get it all done in one day. Plants drink less after being striped down and if you don't get them stripped all in one day you will notice their individual uptakes may vary.

I ended up defoliating and removing all lower growth to focus on the top main sites

First time grower hah.

I basically just did training the whole way through veg. Once they got to 5-6 nodes, I started slowly doing LST. Plus - I guess I've been keeping my LED lights at optimal height in veg. Also I used a t5 as supplemental light for a few weeks in veg to get the underside of the ladies.

I actually only topped twice, most of the sites you're seeing are from the lower branches.

Thanks! I'm hoping to see some great results in flower

Week prior to flower, then again day 21, then I strip the main colas so all my under sites get light. I mainlined both my amnesia haze plants(2nd photo) 3rd week of veg. They are monsters with Hella tops....
