Defoliation

Do you guys think I should chop off all these bottom leaves to clean it up a bit. If so can you point out how far I should go up the plant

No. I have inch size buds on the bottom because I used LST for the branches to pull them out. I still have 3 or 4 weeks to flower as well. Proper training leads to light penetration. Personally i think the plant likes to keep everything the way it made it. Sure, go ahead and chop a few small leaves that are near the dirt. But the plant stores food in these leaves later on for flower so my experience shows better weed when left alone. This can vary from person to person as every setup and grower is different.

I typically don’t defoliate until about a week before I flip to 12/12.
