Should I leave them alone or do a heavy defoliation

I never do a heavy defoliation.. Just selective/productive thinning..
They need leaves to store reserve nutes for later on..

Exactly. I don't defoliate more than 10% until the plant nears end stage. After that, if a leaf is still more than 50% green, it stays.

It’s just looking really cramped from all the leafs so I do wanna clean it up abit but I got a few more inch’s to get to the max height so I was wondering if I leave them like this would it affect yield I had a little clean up day before flower ain’t touched since

I get what your saying. If you have adequate air flow I would leave the top alone. The lower bud sites have leaves protruding from the branch that feeds that budsite. It will find its way to light.
