This is why defoliation is such a bad idea. By removing so many leaves, your plant is unable to make enough energy for proper growth. Even the "after" pictures show a stressed and unhealthy plant and I think by the time she recovers and flowers, you could just about plant new seeds and have them ready before this one is. LST is ok with autoflowering plants, but defoliation is a no-no and I do not recommend it at all, even with photoperiod plants. If the plant did not need those leaves, it would not grow them in the first place! Just remember - Maximum amount of healthy green leaves = maximum energy production = maximum growth and maximum health. Hope this helps, she may pull through slowly, but if it were mine, I would just start again, as I doubt she will ever produce a decent yield of healthy flowers. But you never know! Cheers, Organoman.

Yup this is why most people will not train auto flowers because you stunt thier growth. Thing with autos is they only have a predetermined life cycle not like a photo which you can reveg easily. So if you even remove one leaf that will cause her stress and she will stop growing and start trying to concentrate on repairing herself first and then she will flower but if you keep doing it and keep defoliating then its just gunna get worse and worse and she will eventully just not flower at all cause she does not have the stores of nutrients she needs to flower so my best advice with this and I absolutly hate advising this and I hardly ever do but your best off to start again my friend. Best of luck if you decide to sort her but I would just leave her alone and hope for the best if you wanna keep her. Everybody makes mistakes thats how we learn dont let it deter you. Alot of growers are misleading with defoliation tactic and dont explain the full picture which can often lead to growers putting more trust than they should in someones advice but it happens to us all. Im sure you will power through and things will be much better for the next plant you grow :) Keep growing :)
