Should i trim my auto's??

Hello all,
Currently i have two autos growing fairly well. They are about 17 days old. My question is, is it a good idea to trim and take away the bigger leaves to allow more light to hit?

No, the leaves are where most photosynthesis happens and also where the plant stores reserve nutrients.

I don't grow autos but I would think it is even more important not to trim from a plant with such a short life cycle.

He11 NO bro do not do that. 2 reasons one the leaves provides energy, 2 you don't want to put any unnecessary stress on a auto you will hurt your ending yield. Just do like i do I take paper clips and bend them and hook big fan leaves and low stress train them out the way.
