AK-47 AUTO. 36 days old. what to do with leaves?

Hi i have some ak-47 autos and i stressed them.. i started themin seedling pots not knowing and transplanted, so they arent as big as they probably should, but look healthy now. lots of leaves and stems tho so i dont know what to prune? Also, i put them into bigger pots, but they are still pretty small, is it more beneficial to give them the stress of transplanting but the benefit of the bigger pot than just leaving them in small pots? should i stick with the veg lights MH CFL all the way through autos or go to HPS flowering
 
I had one of my Lowryder Easyryders in a 6.5l pot for about 2/3 weeks maybe, and it got very stressed/signs of being rootbound. A week and a half/2 weeks later after being transplanted into a 22litre it had grown about twice the size and is now my biggest/bushiest plant (2 and a half feet tall/very wide and bushy) =D Seemed to enjoy the extra room to stretch it's legs, so i'd say put it in a bigger pot.

Unless the leaf is dead or really far on the way to dying leave it on, it will still have sugars in the leaf which the plant can use up.
 
Nice. Yeh they are growing bigger and lookng real healthy now, but want to transplant them bigger again. So you dont trim that at all for bud production?? just let all the little buds do their own thing?

auto's don't like the following transplanting ,trimming,high nutes put them in the large container from the get go .here's a auto ak done in my veg chamber under hpd and led IMAG0258.jpgone on the right it got much bigger than this.
 
well im still transplanting becasue i want them to have the best space to grow now. Can i cut some clones though and root them and try starting them in bigger pot from get go

suggest you do some more reading !auto's are next to impossible to clone as they start budding at 2 weeks of age(a clone is the same age as the plant it's taken from)therefore would be trying to bud while your trying to clone it.To answer the other guys question, no that plant wasn't pinched or giving any fertilizer other than my soil mix.Should add it spent it's first 30 days under a 90 watt l.e.d.I'm not a big fan of the auto's grow and breed them for a buddy to grow way up north.
 
gotcha, well im more focused on my regular feminized seeds. just got these to try out, didnt realize to plant them in regular pot, so if i get a male plant of regular strain, i could possibly make a female auto produce seeds and then try out autos again??
