Im around 4-5 weeks into flower stage. I’ve notice pictures on other post that their plant looks like many of the leaves have been cut away leaving mainly just the buds and some sugar leaves. . Should I be doing that or is that something that’s done rite before harvest. I did do some defoliation at the end of vege stage. Sorry if this is a silly question. It’s my 1st grow for me. I’ve included some pictures below.

This is not silly question at all. You may get answers all over the map. Many folks defoliate like crazy and some, like me, don’t defoliate at all (unless there is an air flow problem).
You can visit my grow log if you want to see what I do. Most folks remove at least some leaves.

Defoliation offers little benefit at this point other than improving airflow if necessary.
