This is my attempt at 2021 grow....
you transplant those into bigger bags/pots they will be much better off.
LoL I was already moved out and working my first "real Job" by thenOuch.. that would be 1978 to me...:{
I've thought the same thing but still find myself removing the biggest leaves that block other tops and removing shoots/stems that are weaker/lower. Sometimes I think I've taken too much but in a couple days notice newly exposed tops are looking stronger. When I flip to flower and cut N way back mine really start to cry and naturally defoliate. As far as pests outdoors, they are there no matter what but constantly trying to minimize and control and if defoliation happens to be the answer so be it.So I know there are a lot of outdoor growers like myself out there. Is there a consensus on defoliating. I would think if it's light that drives photosynthesis and photosynthesis nutrient uptake wouldn't you want to have as many large leaves as the plant can safely support? Of course taking into account pests, mold and other pathogens that can turn things in the wrong direction?
Outside, the leaves are needed to protect against stress, since outdoor environment can’t be controlled. I prune really well, eliminating branches and buds that will never be anything special. Then that otherwise wasted energy will go to other flowers, hopefully eliminating a bunch of larf. Then I only remove yellow leaves. There’s obviously more then one way to skin a cat, but that works for me and I’ve found people with largest girls do the same or similar.So I know there are a lot of outdoor growers like myself out there.

If u could see closer there all lolipoped not like I would indoors but Clear out a good soccer ball space in centre of larger onesdo you plan on defoliating or lollipoping
I'm guessing you've got some.pretty cool neighbors,lol?I think I may have just started flowering here in Mass!

4 plants, Grape Gas Station, 8 ball kush, Deadly Sativa and Cinderella XX
Nice healthy looking plants bro. I MIGHT transplant the ones in the cups flowering mj can become pretty needy. they look great great
