Should I!?

Just beginning of flower was wondering if I should like lollipop the one and defoliate the other? It's so dam bushy and leafy

Only around the bottom of the plant....

I would be spreading the tall ones out to the sides with some lst and leaf tuck blocked budding sites. Any that can not be unblocked by tucking you will have to decide if you need the energy from the leaf more than you need the bud sites.
Most growers work for a canopy about 12 inches thick with little to no leafs below this. The lowest bud on my current grow is 11 inches below canopy top. Cute little thing. It has no idea it's the first one getting rolled up.......
