your ladies are going to constantly grow to the light so ur gonna want to tie them back some how seeing that your spot is so confined. That way once your stretch does stop when you drop your light down into the center more you wont have to worry about your buds burning. looking pretty good though keep up the good work it will pay off in due time.

Normally i'd wait until stretch is complete before doing any defoilation. However in the case of plants being to crowded, I would have done the same and removed a minimal amount (20% or less of total leaf mass) of leaf to allow more light to each bud site. This will also prevent elongated nodes caused by shading. All of this is a bandaid to a bigger issue. What really needs to solved (dialed) is veg time and plant numbers. Ideally your plants will grow just big enough to fill the canopy without choking eachother out.

As a rule of thumb I take no more than 30% of total leaf mass at any one time when defoilating. I usually do this 1-2 times per week (depending plant reaction) after stretch ends, continuing until I run out of leafs with stems on them. This could also be done in veg. Now for your questions, will it harm them? No it won't harm/slow them, but only because you removed a minimal amount of leaf (<20% of total mass). If you had been more aggressive, it's very likely (plant dependant, some take it better than others) they would have stunted out for 2-3 days. This will lengthen time to harvest. An easy way to tell if they are stunting is to monitor their water usage. If they are stunted water intake will go way down. As for your second question, YES! They will love you for the extra light penetration . That is the whole reason for defoliating in the first place. Just remember though it's only one small piece of dialage, just like enviroment, veg times, watering times, nutrient strength/ratio, etc are all small pieces of the big puzzle.
