they look good .... i wouldnt mess with them
stripping leaves in flower is like pulling your teeth out when all you have to eat is steak .....
i defoliate a bit in veg but i rarely do any pruning in flower

Its a matter of opinion laddy. Some had good result while other will advise against it. Its is up to YOU....and remember, only YOU can prevent wildfires.

some people report good results defoliating, but it definatly is not for the novice grower. If and when you run into problems during flower, the buds will suck energy from the leaves. Leaves are like little energy stores, if you get rid of too much of them you better hope you dont run into any problems.

I'm guilty of pluking any leaves off if it blocking light to the bud sight....and I don't feel guilty doing it cause bigger bud is better!!
