You don't really want to do to much to autoflower in the sense of stressing them they're recoup time is limited and the more time they spend recouping the less time they have to actually grow and produce flower, normally I just let them grow and do alot of LST and keep them open up as possible...Good luck
You can remove a couple of leaves, but I advise against defoliating for now. The Dark Devil, like the others in the Purple series, isn't the easiest to manage, so be careful not to over-fertilize :)
