Is it worth pruning the leaves at autoflowering? At what stages is it worth cutting, and when is it not worth it at all? Does flowering slow down if the leaves are removed?

Hello for autos it is better to not defoliate but if you want to do it you do this 2 weeks before flowering and one time at week 3 of flowering. Good luck.
