you can def defoliate day 2 flower and 3 weeks from now if the need beI'm day 2 into flower and i keep reading about not defoliating leaves in flower as it can cause problems but with a topped plant its like you got no choice but have to defoliate as mid level leaves continue to over lap sprouting sites and blocks them.
Do growers just pick a few at a time and keep it to a minimum surely it couldn't stress the plant that much .
some dense foliage going on herethis is from my last grow and it becomes too cramped its another reason why i want to change things for the next grow to give it more room.

i found it was too much and lucky it didn't create any problems till harvest but i don't want to grow like this again.some dense foliage going on here
You can pinch and bend them over. I see some space on the sides you're not utilizing You could pinch a few branches over at the height that green wire I see in the bottom pic........here's a pic guys i defoliated some today at mid level but it gets cramped every 3 days or so with fan leaves i find this happens for up to say around week 4 then it slows down so i then don't defoliate i guess its probably best to slowly defoliate instead a of a lot at one time.

i agree i have notice sometimes the plant becomes slow are cutting too much in veg.The more training, plucking, and pulling you do any living things has to in a senses recuperate.
The first 2 weeks in flower you can still pinch & bend them over, At around 3 weeks the stalks/stems stiffen and they're done their stretching its too late.......On a net in a sog you still bend the stems under until the stretch is over so manipulating them early flower is okay. Tough things these weeds they can handle a lot of stress.Hey PipeCarver i understand your point but if i got it right in the first place i wouldn't be touching the branches in flower i already got a better understanding with things this grow it makes the ideas of the next grow good.

i think the light distance is close to being right the outer edge canopy could take more light but the top middle canopy gets enough.
i found i can only tuck so much then it becomes to cramped and so some leaves have to go.I like to tuck the leaves under the bud sites. I'll only pluck leaves that are dead or ugly, the plant needs and uses them.
yeah bro you need to decide whether you want to grow fanleaves or bigger bud, defo does that for you. leaving such a dense tree will leave popcorn nugs for you with some nicer ones on topi found i can only tuck so much then it becomes to cramped and so some leaves have to go.
