How long do I have to go?

[Rsooooo]

Hey guys, first grow here and I’m wondering how they’re looking from some experienced growers. There are only 2 plants there, northern lights. I think the have quite a few colas but the thicker one in front is super thick, whereas the one in back lost like 3main branches and is getting more light penetration. I’ve read a lot about defoliation but I’m in early week 4 of flower and most info says to not defoliate after the 3rd week of flower. Should I get 20 or 30% of the offending leaves out to get more light to the main colas? Also do I cut at the branch or a little up on the leaf stem to avoid disturbing buds? And how long do you think I have? Thanks guys.

No. Don’t remove healthy leaves; no “offenders.” If there’s anything on the bottom that is yellowing and/or shriveled then pull those off by hand but “cut” nothing. Tuck the large fans under lower branches if you want. You have probably at least 5 or 6 weeks to go; pics would help

They look invisible.
