I am planning to remove the big leave (shown in day 21 - big leave picture pink-highlighted) to give more light to the little branch below it (marked in yellow). This is the end of the 3rd week and it is an autoflower, what do you think? It's left plant in pic day 21 - morning

Hey i would never remove a leaf that is still full of nutrients and energy. The light that must come to the buds is a mhytos that will never end :-(. Just google photosynthesis. The bud grows through the nutrients that are given to it that contain the leaves :-) the leaves therefore need the light. And even if many persist in the opinion that the buds do not grow otherwise or whatever 😅 I wonder why they cut the leaves off you instead of simply tying them up or down :-)

Hey gardener! Your drawing is well done and it clearly shows the leaf that needs to be cut to let the light through. I'm not used to cutting my leaves, but I'm starting to understand the usefulness of it, and I would have done the same as you. Good luck to you, bella ciao!

Apparently with auto flowers it’s best to just try move and trap the fans out of the way rather than removing them altogether.

Hey bro! GREAT idea! The branch is well-developed at the leaf you're planning to remove, you can go ahead! But try not to remove too many fan leaves from the plant, they are a reserve of elements for the future. I support you, bro! 👌 👍
