Hi everyone, new old guy with a question. I was wondering when or if I should defoliate this plant? It is a white widow autoflower almost 6 weeks old under a sonlipo SPF2000 running 20 on 4 hours off. It's in a fabric 5 gallon pot with promix potting soil in a 4x4 x82 inch tent.

If it's 6 weeks old it's not an auto flower -
Gator is correct. But first, zoomed in on the lower right fan leaves, what is that coloration? Is it a shadow? a couple of yellowing leaves? It isn't the dreaded WPM is it?
Is your plant an autoflower? At 6 weeks with an auto you should be seeing preflowers and pistils (stigmas). One way to tell for sure if it is an auto or not is to change the light schedule to 12/12. The longer dark period will trigger the flowering period. So, should you defoliate? Yes, you want to open up the middle and clear out the bottom. If you can look from the bottom of the foliage to the top of the plant you want to see light, not darkness. If you flip the light schedule and the plant starts to flower after the stretch defoliate again.
My plants are bushy like yours. They will be getting a haircut this weekend.
