Looks naked honestly and i've grown outdoors for over 40+yrs i'd never strip like you have done. Only way i do that is from the bottom up about 18"-24" and that's during mid flower. Those leaves were needed on the plants outdoors.

Well that's true but with outdoor you don't use that theory like indoor. Besides your just starting flower what those leaves were doing is giving energy and protection to the whole plant. Where indoor the light shines down not really hitting sides of plant hence reflective material lines the tent. If it's too dense with leaf sure you can pluck off several a day to open to the light but outdoor sun hits all over if there in a spot that gets full sun all day. Someone told you to do this too early in my opinon this is done about a month prior to harvest and as the leaf start dieing. Hey hang in there, just do abit more asking prior to doing drastic moves.
