Only if they are covering more surface area than they provide. I would be patient those fans are going to get bigger and they are your plant's photosynthesis centers. Yes photosynthesis occurs in all leaf surfaces but those fans are your power centers.

I tied down for two weeks but not soon enough. Lesson learned. This pot was meant for an auto, but then I got high.
Is the main vertical growth considered a prime bud site? My gut told me to leave the ones up top cause there ain't a whole lot left.

I don't really defoliate untill lik week 6 or 7 right before I go into flower...if a leaf is blocking something I just tuck it under...instead of adding stress to the plant...I might remove a few small leaves but nothing major untill it gets unmanageable

Autos. All 4 are Caramelicious auto, the pair in the pic are s1's of the second pic. Second and third pic are f1s from m-s.nl. Second and third were DWC. The pair are about month out from harvest... roughly. With little to no defoliation

Those all are nice but this one I fell in love with it I feel like we do more harm when we heavily defoliate especially with autos...maybe I'm just a hippy at heart but that's me too...little defoliation..use it when it's necessary

Yeah I didn't know about selfing when I grew that one. I think that was about my sixth plant,I was hoping for a similar pheno but the one I selfed didn't like showing off her trichs, neither do her daughters. I'd put her somewhere 13-15% but that first one had to be pushing 20%.
She is the one that got me to keep trying. Here's the mind fuck, I flowered her under 200w of led

You know what sucks about autos...you can't clone lol

Well... that depends on your definition of "clone"
They say there is no point...
It took some trial and error, but I finally got an auto growing. Already went through all that on another thread but, they say there is no point in cloning an auto. I have argued that treating for pollen is one reason but the branches I cloned were destined to shrivel and die off as they were...
