Northern Lights Auto First Grow

It's week 6 now and the nutes guide shows to be giving soley Bloom and at half strength for the auto. I showed Katie the last defo and she says I shoudl go HAM on that motherfucker but Im so confused on how many leaves i should leave per branch and nodes and...bah. I might just leave her as is to see how she develops. Then next grow I'll know which leaves i should have gotten rid of and whatnot. I gotta mix up the nute mix which I guess isn't very hard anymore lmao. just 1 nute. Then its ButtChug Station CHOOOCHOOOO!! i just realized this is pretty much half way, huh? Time man. Such a small amount of time usually passes me by and I think very little of it, but watching the lifespan of this plant and to be fair all the other herbs i've been growing is.. perspective changing. Well shit I just took her out for the butt chug and...lots of flowering signs. A little nervous that I def should have plucked more leaves earlier. Idky today I fucking have an eye for it but I guess seeing the hairs helps you know where light should be hitting so i want to pluck a whole bunch. Gotta wait till after watering though. W6D3: Yesterday I just left her alone besides moving the light up a few inches. Today I applied more LST and a bit of defo..theres so much growth and its dense so trying to figure out which to keep is a bit difficult. really trying to get her spread out and get the light penetrating as much as possible. W6D4 left her alone, gonna water her tomorow morning W6D5 buttchugging her with 2ml of bloom in 2 or 3 cups more than half a gallon. Would like a taller plastic container to buttchug in, but that's life. W6D6 I took her out to try to get a little more lst in. Theres a lot of new central growth that needs to finds its place. I probs should completely stop defoliating at this point. I still pruned 10 or so leaves today because it was blocking the new growth. W6D7 another end of a week. I can't defoliate any more which... leaves me with soem regrets over not fully understanding it better earlier. But hey this is the first grow we're not looking for like a 3 ounce harvest or anything haha. So all the outside growth, which is you know the main branches. They are all taller than the rest of the middle growth so they are getting all the flowering hormones. I tried t bend them lower with lst but it just seems like it is what it is. I added in my old grow light on the red setting for bloom/flower and I clipped it to give the center of the plant the most love. Had to turn the main light off to see where it was hitting. 24inches widest point
