If they are covering potential branches and bud nodes, yes you should most definitely clip them. You want your bud nodes to get as much light as possible.
I hope this helps.

Hi there
She is quite spread out .. I would try tuck them down or out the way as you dont have loads of leaves as it is,
Airflow looks good, i would only remove them if they block lots of light from lower buds
Best of luck 🌱

Remove new side shoots at the top of the canopy?Autoflower is currently in week 6 (week 2 of flower), should I remove the circled new top growth or leave it because it's at the top and mostly getting light?
Plants already have 10+ bigger colas each but don't want to accidentally harm bud growth by wrongfully removing stuff.

Should I wait till I'm home to defoliate, or let my plant sitter.I have a variegated plant, but I won't be home for 10 days and I'm really considering letting them trim a few heavily variegated leaves to help with photosynthesis. I'm only on week 3, but she's an auto flower.

Off shoots stay or go away?Trying to learn a little bit about the pruning and defoliation processes. I understand you wanna prune large fan leaves that block bud sites early in flower. But should I go ahead and also take these offshoot branches that formed close to the top of my main branches after LST

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…
Plant. Too short
Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

Defoliation late in flower on Auto'sI like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!1y ago

Remove leaves from auto?Should I remove fan leaves from my auto flower? I wonder since it is so crowded, I worry a bit that the leaves are pressing against the buds. But maybe that isn't a problem? I've read that removing leaves is unnecessary and stressful for the plant.
