I would say you have stripped to much in the last pictures. She will be stressed but will recover over time. As it's an auto it's not recommended to go overboard with leaf stripping . It will definetly add more time to your grow as there is less photosynthesis taking place . But on the plus side it will get light to every bud site and airflow will be better . In future with autos you should get a good shape with LST in Veg first ,then only minimal(selective) defoliation is required in flower . The less stress the better.

umm if your pics in the diary are of your plant in current foliage state I wouldn't worry too much.. You can trim a whole lot off. Leaves are like batteries. But cannabis is a wonder plant and wants to grow so as long as you didn't stress her out.. She will most likely just keep on motoring on..

Should I remove some of the dense foliage as I start LST, or wait? Other suggestions appreciated!The Durban Poison and Jack 47 are very dense, with tight nodes. I’m beginning LST this week to get more light to more of the branches, but should I prune some of the excess foliage? If so, how do I decide what to remove? Thanks in advance for your help!

Defoliation in mid-late flowering Can I still be defoliating in week 5-6 of flowering? The buds seem quite leafy and a lot of the lower sites aren't getting light, I feel like if I removed some of the larger fan leaves on top it would let the full cola grow thick bud sites rather than just the tops?

Removing popcorns There is some real advantage on removing those little "popcorns" in order to increase the main buds size? Or will it delay the growing of the buds in general? It is second week of flowering, auto.
