You can safely remove leaves in earnest for another 2 weeks. Then only as needed a few at a time. Good luck.

That is as long as you stay at least 3 nodes below your tops.

I pull a few of here and there throughout flowering. I’ve heard ppl argue for both, however I only experienced a negative outcome in stripping off to many leaves.

I would personally remove bigger leaves at the top of the canopy blocking light from bud sights.

You must establish said bud sites first. Then remove mature shade leaves. Bend or tuck new growth.

It’s not too late but I don’t see why you would.
Those bottoms look good and they are contributing, not hurting the plant.

So you don't consider fabric pots to be a RH issue in an overgrown canopy in a tent? And just asking. I prefer circulation and ventilation is all.

if a cola is ripening while the bud under it is not because it's under a leaf, tuck it or cut it off (i.e., do it when/where it makes sense).

Every situation is different. There may be times when it’s necessary.
The OPs plant however has absolutely no stress and it’s hardly too leafy.

Yea no worries

I take a few big leafs from the top side and take a few as I go from underneath but I don’t use anything under my net and I don’t worry about the plant wasting effort on the under side of the net I let them do there thing and grow all natural lol except topping and lst

You can safely thin it out some to give other buds more light but do half of what needs to go then wait 3 or 4days and finish it up then a week before harvest remove all the major fan leaves
