Yeah i would, you got plenty there, may aswell open up some canopy and let some more light on the stems

I would say meh unless they are covering a bud site or you're dealing with humidity issues. Leaves are good for plants!

Since autos have a finite timeline is it better to just let it grow as much as possible and get as big as possible or have the most bud sites when its starts to flower?
I'm doing my first grow and started a Critical Thunder auto amongst my others. Not knowing anything about autosWeek 6

lower branches, late flower, lots of foliageThese lower branches are filling out with a ton of foliage but nothing exciting on my Jack hermie. Is it a waste of energy for the plant? Should I trim them? Cut these branches off? Let nature do its thing?

3 days from completing 12 weeks. The Top Cola looks ready with all pistils Amber & curled. However, lot of Popcorn buds still blooming.
Should I wait for the harvest and let the Popcorn buds bloom longer. Will that affect the Top Bud ?
Any pro tips for harvesting in a closet?Week 11
