How much Lollipopping?

Hey everyone,

Here's a little question about my grow. The lady is now on 22 days of Flower and I have just started lollipopping and will also do a defoliation. Now to my question about lollipopping: I have removed the bottom row of nodes from all the branches. Now I am unsure whether I should also remove the next row of pairs and would be pleased to hear your opinions.
Here are a few more pictures (I have marked, where the already removed pairs were, in the first picture)
By the way, the lady was mainlined and topped 4 times, which is why she now has 16 beautiful tops!

Instead of defoliating - prune according to the following concept. Sources and Sinks.

A source is part of the plant that produces more sugar than it uses. A sink is part of a plant that uses more energy than it produces.

A fully developed leaf at the top of the plant is a source; roots are a sink; old fan leaves at the bottom of the plant are sinks. You can't remove the roots but you can defoliate the bottom and centre of the plants to remove the sinks and to let more light to the sources.
