Defoliating - Yes or No?

[jiujitsupigface]

Morning guys, a few of you may have seen my grow diary here. For those of you that haven't, I have 2 girls that are into flower (Day 68 & Day 54) and I'm unsure if I should defoliate. Everywhere I look I'm getting mixed information 

Naturally, I want to increase yield as much as possible and reduce the chance of rot. The girls are in a small popup greenhouse with the front door constantly open.

Hello,

 

This has been covered many times. A quick search just using the word defoliate threw up this thread.
