DEFOLIATION ??? 4 plants in 2x4x5, what u would expect....

Ive been trying to read up on many defoliation threads but most of them or at least the ones I've come across, haven't been able to make it very clear to me yet.
So I feel like I might run out of time if I don't ask now,,, should I remove large to medium fan leaves under canopy and the little growth it has now??
Todays 2nd day into flower
plant on the far left wasn't topped, but I've been super cropping for a while, the other three plants were topped after 3rd node, have been super cropping and lst

I remove the fan leafs that are blocking lower growth from the canopy. If they aren’t blocking any branches leave them because of photosynthesis

If your in flowering it’s not a great time to defoliate. Go easy on them

Many people will defoliate around day 14 of flowering, and again around day 45.

You can remove a few in the middle to promote airflow and let light reach further down...just large ran leaves.

Or you can lollipop

I did think of lollipopping but I figured I would have to keep vegging, which isn't ideal in my space atleast I don't think,,, my plants are getting pretty big already.
Ill remove a few big fan leaves blocking light to the bottom, but imma wait till day 14 like PJ said, and see how its doing by then, I want these girls to be 100% right now transitioning to flower.
I didn't just veg 45 days to fuck it up defoliating hahaha.
thanks for the tips !
