Lollipopping after the stretch is fine to keep some air flow below canopy but once they're this far in only dead leaves should be removed. Basic botany, leaves collect light, transpire and respire using photosynthesis to feed/grow the plant cells, that process gets thrown off when you start chopping off leaves or have an environment that throws the respiration/transpiration process out of balance. Light to flowers doesn't generate bigger flowers, light to leaves = bigger flowers. Basic botany, MJ is no different than any other flowering plant.
If you want this in a 3 gal pot, you won't get it by chopping off healthy leaves:
