I need to defoliate but im too scared!!

I've read articles and seen videos about over stressing in the flowering stages is bad! Too much grooming, and environment can cause your plant to hermi, or catch something worse than an STD, I saw where a youtuber was grooming and afterwards his plant had to be chopped down from some kind of fungus or bacteria that ate away at his branch. He said it was from him over grooming.

I always put the a few branches in water that I cut off in hopes of making clones but instead watch them die slowly from starvation.
Whenever I cloned branches I just cut a nice angle on the bottom and then floated them on a cut down Styrofoam cup with a hole in the bottom. I used a fishtank pump and air stone to keep water moving and oxygenated. Simple,easy and it always promoted root growth.

Some might say that there may have been too much humidity and the branch was cut at the wrong angle by said Youtuber. Maybe improper grooming technique was involved. Apply whatever context you wish to the aforementioned. I'm stoned. haha Nice looking first grow.
