My AUTO is starting to flower. I LST'ed it and it is very,very bushy!! A lot of growth coming off it everywhere.
Now its flowering should I trim any of this growth/leafs to get light to bud areas?

I would recommend not removing any leaves. Leaves inhale light and other nutrients to give the buds the power to grow. You could maybe tie some of the leaves out of the way gently but its your choice. I would advice just to leave them be.

i prune for light, but i almost never remove the whole leaf.

i cut the outer "Fingers" untill theres only the 3-5 central leaves.

it leaves the largest surface area but lets more light hit the central mass.

id have to know how busshy it is, but mostly i just tie mine around.

i say around cuz my shit has to fit together like a puzzle, little bonsia little weaving, little wire goeas a long way

They are wider than they are tall. You cannot see any stem there is so much growth. At the very bottom of the stem there is small growth that gets not light. Should I trim this and surely it is just wasting resources that could go to my buds? Does light have to get to the buds to grow or just the leaves?

What is your lighting situation? reflective walls? if its that bushy you could add some side lighting to get some more out of the bottom

Select the area of your plant where you have the most bud showing promise...position your light to energize that area....lst as necessary.
