Those pretty photos you see online of just buds no leaves. Those plants r defoliated right before the photo. You need leaves for growth, they r the powerhouse of the plant. That being said light penetration matures buds.
It's a fine balance, take 5-10 leaves a day to keep shock away untill you feel you have her under control. Remember once stretch is over 3 or 4 weeks after flip (your buds will have a nice dome shape) your not gonna get new leaves other than some sugar leaves for the buds.
