Train the branches away from each other, first. If that is not sufficent and you have a lot of leaves overlapping and causing constant condensation, selectively remove as few leaves as possible. Avoid creating empty gaps in canopy, as light capture is the whole goal, lol. increasing how much light completely misses the plant is not a positive. In future, have a better plan to avoid an over-crowded canopy. When done right, you shouldn't have to make tough decisions about defoliation. Avoid it. Waste less growth, time and resources, too. 10 colas bunched up isn't going to end well... Plant on left looks fine as is. The one on right looks a bit over-crowded. Sometimes need to let it grow out horizontally enough before you top. Keep spreading it out as best you can. You only need about 2.5-3 colas per sq ft to maximize yield (relative to end-size of canopy)... going beyond that mostly just causes same mass but more/smaller buds. Generally means more time trimming too. If you stick to that, you don' tneed to defoliate at all.

They are fine, leaf tucking and LST is what id suggest. They need the leaves.

Do not touch the little one. And the second big make LST while he leaves, rests from the LST. A small bush will catch up with a large in size and they will be equal.

Only suggestions I would make, the plant that’s lower needs to be propped up so it’s level with other one. I would train for now and only take off the super huge fan leaves covering growth sites. A few here and there, nothing major.

only remove the largest fan leaves ... 1 here 1 there, but insure the branch you are removing it from is strong to survive w/o it... the plant is so vibrant because it has so many leaves, get it.

none, otherwise the plant will eat itself in looking for CalMag as it is
