I will go a step further.... At no stage in the plants development except very early will removing one leaf make any difference

Upon the start of week six, I have noticed some bud sites... Is it ok to trim off the huge fan leaves to allow more light to get through?

Defoliation at blooming in a late-growth auto
Hello! Since my plant had a slow growth, is it useful doing defoliation at this stage? Is it useful at all doing it on a outdoor Auto? I've read somewhere that is better not touching autos at all since them fragility. Many thanks.

I'm going into flowering stage soon and was wondering about defoliation of the lower leaves after doing some LST - stretching out branches horizontally... Should I remove the lower leaves, focus on the bud sites access to light?

Should I remove the smallest and lowest stems of the plant on 6th week? I'm pretty sure they will be useless being that small and down but will it help in some way?

Complicate
trim auto for compact grow (space bucket)
I want to focus on a few colas when growing this compact, 5gal bucket is max width. Should I leave the 4 or 5 fittest and trim the lower branches off entirely or just let the taller dominate and avoid stressing this auto (space is the obvious issue here)? 🙏thanks community.

Defoliating Autos in Flower
Hi, I'm in the middle of my first grow with autos and could do with advice on defoliation. You'll see from my diaries that things are OK so far but I've got issues with high humidity now that I'm going into flowering. Will it be safe defoliating them now or will it shock them?

Should I defoliate more then I did?
Should I defoliate more then I did? I went to the second and third leaf on all mains. Kinda thinking Id leave more of the smaller stuff on the lower but I think I did an ok job with LST and Topping to keep the bottoms pretty cleanish. Plant 2 maybe more from the FIMMED top?

Experienced Defoliation User Question
Wondering if I should continue to remove new growths, especially at the bottom after the heavy Defoliation I did a few days ago on my flowering set? Looking for people who regularly use Defoliation on their autos. Do you see better results pulling new growth on bud development?

Defoliation In 1st Week?
I've been looking into defoliation as being beneficial to bud site development and outweighing the stress negatives. I'm doing one run of defoliation in this first week of flowering to test this as my plants are getting thick. Is this too much? Opinions on this? Refer to diary.
