To much defolialiting or ok

Well its late august here in ohio. So i decided to increase airflow , clip any yellow or bug bite leaves , any suckers and interior fan leaves. Ive always liked natural but. Focusing on main colas now. Is it to much? I could clone some of the suckes but im kind of working a lot right now. So ill just prune. Plants are about 4-6 ft in 5 gal pots

Looks good to me. As long as she stays healthy I don’t see the issue with defoliating.

Looks like you did a fine job without compromising the plant. Defoliating to increase airflow is always a valid reason.

Thanks for all the reassurance. I think they’re in full preflower mode. Its gunna be a photo finish if i can take to brown tric’s . Its the low 50s now and getting closer to fall equinox. Im sad to see them go. Been a long 4 and a half months now. But ill be relieved when i harvest, hopefully with no rot.

And 4 and a half months isnt that long but i brought 2 of them back from a pretty big problem of being more lime then jade. All 5 were kind of yellow green at 1 point. Last year i gave up because of that. Most clones worked last year just to die in quart pots. This year only 2 clones went the distance andvi gave 1 away. I thank fox farm trio for getting rid of the yellow. Kind of expensive and the trio pack i used might not be organic but i like ff big grow. It comes with 2 others. I even mix 1/8 big grow into what im giving in the flower time nutes.
