Should I be pulling fan leaves off my plants? There’s a few covering up lower bud sites but I’m unsure how pruning will effect my auto flowers. (See diary week 8 for more photos) Thanks!

Only pull leaves if they are yellow or shriveled brown. The plant stores a lot of food/ energy in the fan leaves that are going to help those buds grow. Autoflowers do not tolerate a whole lot of stress. Defoliate as necessary when it comes to autos. Or do it in sessions so it don’t stress her. If you believe more light helps the bud and that the fan leaf is just covering it then pull a couple wait a couple days pull a couple etc. I do not recommend trimming because the lack of light due to a leaf. That leaf is helping you more than you know.
