Should I defoliate?

Hey guys I’m just wondering if I should take off some leaves. There’s some huge fan leaves that I know are just sucking in light, but at the same time it’s so hard to get into the plant to water..
there’s others spots where it just seems too crowded by leaves. Is that okay or should I take a few off?
What about those big ones? Leave em on or take em off?

I'd definitely trim all lower leaves, including those big ass fan leaves on the bottom..

I defoliate and prune 2-3 times big during veg
let them revive then you'll start to see better thicker top growth

No

Went through and just pulled the big ones that were in the way, I think about 12 leaves in total.
