none. that plant has no leaves that should be removed for any rational reason. any overlap causing constant condensation on the leaves? that's a good reason. but this plant is airy and good airflow, so there's not much congestion to be concerned about. also, if you can simply bend the leaves so they don't touch, that's WAY better than removing one. CO2 is your limiting factor. not only does removing leaves reduce photosynthesis potential, but it reduces co2 intake (transpiration). leaves are the lungs. check out 'to defoliate or not' on cocoforcannabis dot com. in fact read all of dr photons articles and their guides. it'll clear up a lot of stuff and make you more impervious to "bruh-science" and other anecdotal nonsense out there.

as far s removing any growth.. autos typcialy are tiny. i would hope you can get decent buds all the way to the bottom of the plant. if in your experience you get too much larft at a certain depth, that may be a reason to remove some lower grwoth tips - but that doesn't mean you have to prune off the leaves too. Als, don't think this increases yield. it may reduce proportion of larf, but it does not mean all that you cut off will redistribute anywhere else. that is false hope. just as removing leaves does not allow a plant to "concnetrate on bud development" that is one of the more retarded things i've heard in my time growing this plant.
