Should I thin these out or let them go?

My plants are getting a little dense, in the canopy. Should I clean it up on the inside to make room for chunky nugs or keep all the leaves until further Into flower and then clean it up?
Thanks

Super nice lookin plants
i’m all ears here cause i have the same question goin on right now.

Since there are outdoors I would say they are just fine but sure someone else will say different

I’d let them go they’ll thin out when the start to flower

I thin out any small branches within the inner/upper canopy that don't or won't reach the sun to focus more growth/flower into the larger branches to create dense colas. Helps with air flow as well.
