I usually do a defoliate middle to end of week 3 of flower. It's best to wait until the buds are starting to form then you can remove the leaves blocking the light. If a leaf is not giving shade to a bud site I generally let it be.
I turned my last auto into a hermie by doing to much to her at one time dont know if your growing photo or auto I know from all I have read photos are not as sensitive as autos when trimming dont know if this helps at all lol happy growing my friend
Yeah looks like you don't have any water leaves that are causing problems take caps advice and grow Louis grow.
