LOL .. This a joke? if not -- there was not one leaf you should have removed. topping is fine, because you only lose 1 node or 1.5 nodes of growth, typically. That won't set an autoflower back too much, but is a net-loss of some minimal amount. Plant training is all you need to do to level out a canopy with an autoflower. It won't grow large enough to need anything elaborate. it will do fine, health-wise but you've reduced growth potential for the next couple weeks as new leaves fill in. Tiny, new leaves don't do much photosynthesis until they mature a bit. read the 'to defoliate or not' in dr photon's corner of cocoforcannabis com

Yes. As all have said about topping but I thought I’d give some other tips on general defoliation. In first pic where you topped , the fan leaves at either side that you removed would power those new tops growth. So they will be delayed. This is good if you wanted to slow them down. Never remove anything or do anything without a reason to like it was blocking a bud site or I want more light penetration or airflow. It’s so tempting when you start. I’ve done it and more have on here that would admit it. Always research before doing anything. If you’d have asked here if you should remove these leaves you would have been told no and you wouldn’t have done it and ultimately halving your yield at best. If you have more seeds plant another. Keep this going and see what it ends up like. Then compare. I guarantee in 12 months you’ll look back and crimge

Yes, mainly being topping a autoflower or defoliating a auto flower especially if it's a soil grow is too much. Autos should not be topped. They are a limited time schedule, and don't have time for healing from high stress.

none of that should be made. both pictures should be used in referencies what not to do with auto or even photo plant. do not train till they are in final pots. never take off big leaves, while you have less than 7-8 sets of them. dont harm, love them !!! there is plenty of ways to train, HST is not for seedlings.

is the first pic an after shot of the 2nd pic? or is the 2nd pic a different plant? If this is an autoflower like in this diary : growdiaries.com/diaries/204598-sensi-seeds-sensi-amnesia-xxl-grow-journal-by-systrayx I would not have topped it and just did some LST, topping autos can result in stunted growth and early onset flower. Best to take it easy and let it recover. be very mild with the LST if you are going to give any. What you did was an aggressive pruneing, fan leaves do not need to be removed on souch a oung plant.

Week 3 is a little later than I'd typically top an auto, though being sativa dominant it may take a little longer to flower.
