Chocolate skunk

It's been a very long and busy week for me and I have not been able to be with the plant like I wanted to. The auto is doing really good. It is growing at a crazy rate pretty impressive for a auto. Then again I have only grown 1 auto but I do have experience with photo periods plants. I am a little concerned about the defoliation. Like maybe I took too many leaves off and that it could stunt the auto grow. Either by not producing as much or something of that nature. For those who have a lot of experience with autoflower can you let me know if too much defoliation can stunt your auto. As in low bud grow or something like that. It has not started to flower yet but it does have a good smell. A smell like a skunk. The Co2 homemade system seems to be working but I do need to buy the right tools to make sure it works. Grow diaries family let me know if I can do something better
