I followed some advise and removed a lot of leaves, big and some small, I am regretting it. Im on week 7, day 47. Was this a mistake to do it so early?

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..
