defoliation first grow

This is my first grow ever. Seeds were put in rockwool cubes on Dec. 28th, strain is venus fly trap, 1000w HPS, GH 3part, Hiesenberg tea every 3-4 days, topped and defoliated them 4 days ago. My question is did I defoliate them correctly? I picked off all the single fan leafes and suppercropped a little to get the best light penetration. Any suggestions?

Looks pretty bushy and healthy man. I'd try to tie down and train those branches to spread out more away from the main stem.i just did my first grow and bout to harvest and I had really good luck with defoliating. I'm a noob too but is say defoliate like that again about a week before you send them to flower, and then again 2 or 3 weeks I to flower. Just defoliate all at once, not a little here and there. Made my buds swell up nice

I did defoliate all at once and topped at the same time. The tops didnt take but a couple to start growing I did it on the same day that I changed their watet and nutes.
 
The one the left about died right after it got its first set of leaves but it came back. Thats why its a lil smaller.
