Transition to bloom outdoor.

[Cunjo420]

I know I'm starting to be boring with same question.
Today when I went to water my plants I noticed first little white pistils, so I am preparing for flower, I will do little more spacing between colas , but milion dollar question is, can I leave it like it is , or defoliation and pruning is a must?. Every little branch means to me and I don't want to chop them, fan leaves on other hand are massive , and on top of everything.

I maybe over topped , too much HST, that's maybe why she is so dense and bushy, had 5 broken branches tied up again.

I'd spread it out, and remove the lowest leaves near the soil. Keep good distance between your plants.

Remove leaves that are blocking bud sites if they can't be tucked out of the way.

You mean fan leaves that are blocking bud sites?
Does that mean top biggest leaves, aren't they supposed to store nutrients?

I said tuck them out of the way of the bud site.

The bottom leaves I remove because of pests and easy access to the soil.

If it's that bushy it's not getting airflow or leaves laying on top of leaves just thin it out a fraction.

Ye makes sense.

I am so mad that I am not sure what is best for yield that I decided to test it myself, I pruned 1 branch I took fan leaves from 1 branch, I took smaller leaves from 1 branch.. I'll just test it for myself. There is so much foliage that I am scared to induce stress in start of flower if I cut too much.
I Also noticed 2 leaves turning Yellow which is normal since it's biggest leaves , maybe I will pluck leaves as they start to yellow

Camera is so bad you can't probably see what I'm seeing
