Don't trim, train, or top autos. If a photoperiod gets too stressed out, you can just add another week of veg, but the harvest clock for autos starts ticking as soon as you plant it.

Leaf tuck, ponytail is all auto's ever need to end up with 8+ colas

This is why I ask questions!!! I would usually take those leaves cause I think they are blocking out light... Like this one here.. It's a SOUR CRACK and this baby is short as hell at 18 days!!! Those fan leaves are in the way imo... What about lst??? Should have cleaned my nails before I took the picture!!! Hahaha!!!

I've had good luck LSTing autos with just one tie down around the 6th node or so. Keep re-tying it to pull the stem down as the plant grows so the side shoots are equal or above the main tip. After you first tie it, it will take a couple days for the side branches to start shooting up.

Easing up on the light intensity will give you more separation and less leaves.
I did an experiment once with L.A. Confidential. I removed the leaves on one of two identical clones. The undisturbed plant got way bigger and more flowers.

I have done all those things with good results... I am a firm believer in if you say it can't or shouldn't be done,im going to cee if it can and should be done... These plants look too good for me to fuck up so I'm gonna listen to what the OGs say... Kinda...

I could probably raise the lights some... I DO want them to stretch some...

If you got good penetrating lights, good airflow no need to pick leafs

Bigger pots maybe??? 6 in 2gal pots are probably as big as i could get in that closet...
