Green Gelato Auto

Deformation is invented and used in mass grows. If you girl is even medium size and you have enough space and light i wouldn't trim, especially auto and especially if she wasn't introduced to stress earlier than flowering . I have no balls to defoliate autos, but with photos i always use that technique. Check my 8 sisters diary flowering week 3 and 6. Looking just at your pictures and girl - i would do it now if i ever think to do it. Just leave fully form set and anything above him and trim all leaves down from that nod. Good luck !
