I defoliate as little as possible myself. besides the lolly popping, of opening up the center on a bushy plant so more light can hit the buds... Leaves are the power plants for the plant... The more square inch of green available for photosynthesis the more a plant can produce energizing sugars for growth..I will defoliate the biggest one that is starting to bud Monday so it can concentrate the energy into the buds
