Will my plant recover from defoliation early flower

ok so basically as the title says, I currently have 4 plants 9 days into flower at approx. 2.5-3ft.
I have just taken 12 clones for my next grow and then continued to remove all of the lower growth tips and fan leaves.
The growth tips were removed because as they are clones I applied combinations of what ive read from LST/Mainlining/Fim and give it my own twist.
early during veg I created my own ''Manifold'' and tied 8 branches to the same level to create my own canopy and my own ''mainlined'' clone, as I couldn't find an actual guide on HOW to mainline a CLONE.
So now about 5 weeks later im early in the flower phase and the clones have done what they do best and spat out tens of growth tips everywhere.
Now that I've tried to explain the situation as well as I can, could somebody please help let me know...
Will my plants now bounce back and respond the way that I want them to about this defoliation, will my energies now be focused on the growth tips left in place or have I completely fucked up?
I Don't think what I've done will kill the plant as there are HEAPS of fans left but I do however think I may have stunted my flower phase?

You might not have completely fucked up. But we will have to wait to see. Were you drunk or what?

If your leaf color still looks good, no spotting, frying, persistently droopy leaves, etc, then you're probably ok. You didn't mention any specific maladies in your description, so I'm guessing you're just being overly careful. As for stunting bud growth, again, if you have good leaf color going into flowering, there shouldn't be any problems (and providing you're working with a good stable pheno).

nah I wasn't drunk, I just don't want little shitty buds growing everywhere and my clones had basically grown out of control but ugly out of control.
the leaves I have are dark green and I have not had a problem with my plants since transplant, they look REALLY healthy aside from the slight canoeing due to humidity/heat as my dehumidifier is expected to arrive the next few days.
there was no disease or any plant issue that pushed this move punk, basically it was just an effort to stop little poo nuggets from wasting my 600Ws..

Wish you would have included a pic but I'm sure you'll be fine from the sounds of it. I'm a defoliation nazi and also of the defoliation believers will tell you day 21 and day 45 are for defoliating if your growing indoors.

For future notice on the clones try not to take a clone from a flowering plant...this can add 3+ weeks to getting it rooted.

thanks buzzilla , I will post some before and after pictures in an hour or so just doing some shit IRL.
I read that cloning a flowering plant is fine aslong as it isn't past week 3 but ill keep that in mind.

before

after

Looks perfectly fine to me...is only do it once more b4 harvest

I start my seedlings with the 1kw hps 12/12 in the table. I do get a viable snip from everyone of them which will later be determined if the clone is good for a mom.

You can "mainline" clones but it take extra time waiting for proper growth to begin

Theyl bounce back with vengance, dont worry bout it
