Let There Be Weed - My 1st Grow

I have a pair of scissors and I'm not afraid of using it! I was dying to give defoliation a shot, but maybe I went a bit crazy. I'm a beginner and apparently the rule is that you should cut bottom big fan leaves, to be safe. Since this is an autoflower, apparently they don't have as much time to recover and fan leaves store nutrients for the plant. My problem is that my dehumidifier didn't arrive, so there has been quite some humidity (above 70) in the tent. Since the tent is small for two plants, the leaves in touch start to develop these little water droplets. So, i started to remove leaves one day. Not many, just two. The following day I was feeling braver and did some more. And then some more. And more. i have no clue if it was bellow 20%, the plant still has a lot of leaves I want to cut. Some diaries here have these beautifully trimmed plants, with 80% flower in relation to leaves. How do you guys get it???? Anyways, I'll stop now, they look "aireted" enough. I'll give another shot in two weeks, in the middle of the flowering. Accidents: Decided to bend all the branches of Shakira, to get a seastar shape, but i snapped one of them (it was hanging by 1/4 of it). I immediately mend it with tape. But then I decided to undo the work and do it again, stressing the poor plant even more. That was a couple of hours after i reppoted her. Fortunately, after 6 days she recovered well. Also, Gertrudes stem got a bit strangled due to my training. And she's not growing so fast as Shakira, which is all the way though flowering (i ...guess???). I'm not sure why. Her pot is smaller, and I'd like to report her but there wouldn't be space in my tent then :(
