Is this time to prune/defoliate/lollipop HD pictures

Hi all good stoners

I am at day 9 of flowering...extremly bushy and short internodes plant..Strain is og kush dinafem 75 % indica so I dont excpect her to strech that extreme from now as I see for this 9 day .In the past I have troble with bud root in the so dont want now any problems and really thinking to goooood defoliating as prevention of bud root.
Fan leaves and future colas close to each other
I lst that side branches every day but under diy cobs that I have the plant really dont strech to side but just goes up and up and that is hard to train.
So can you give me some advice is this a time to defoliate or to wait to strech is over , and if I do it now how much can I take off ...I read aftter 3 weeks in flower you cant do it anymore because of stress problem...

So please give me advice what will you do to her

hellooo pls some advice to defoliate now or to wait day 21 of flowering...
And also I am organic grower so when is the best time to topdress wit bat guano when sugar starts or earlyer

People have opinions both ways... defoliate for airflow and light penetration vs. don't defoliate as plants need leaves for photosynthesis. Dig around on here and you'll find a lot of threads on this topic. Looks pretty bushy and healthy though, nice work, good luck.
