Should I remove a few of the upper leaves even though they are autoflowers? I'm unsure, I don't want to stop the flower growth.

Ich würde es dir nicht empfehlen man sieht schon das sie deutlich mehr Licht braucht deswegen ist sie auch so am Spargeln. Dazu würde das Wachstum für ein paar Tage aussetzen stoppen wegen der Regeneration. Vielleicht bisschen LST seitlich runterbinden würde mehr Lichteinfall bedeuten was gut ist für die buds. Dann brauchst du auch nicht schneiden durch das Runterbinden. Viel Glück dir dabei 🏻

Those leaves are producing the energy your plant needs to grow the flowers. Flowers need leaves to grow, they do not need defoliation at all. Less leaves = less energy being made = less potential flower growth........it is that simple. "Defoliation" is a man made concept that has no scientific basis....if your plant would not need those leaves, it would not grow them in the first place!

I also remove individual leaves at the top daily that definitely shade the flowers. But at a certain size, the individual leaves don't matter anymore. I do this almost constantly from 4-5 weeks of plant age until week 6-7 in flowering; after that, everything should be gone, or I don't cut anymore, at least not during the Maturing/late-flowering phase.

Hey, when you start seeing pistils and flowers opening up, you can lollipop and defoliate the top. About the lower 1/4 to 1/3 of the plant, cut off the branches that are still hanging at that height and remove the leaves. The big leaves at the top block sunlight from the remaining flowers. I would definitely do it, including lollipopping. But wait until the flowering stretch is over, otherwise you'll lose the momentum; once the buds start forming, it's definitely over, but then you're cutting off half the buds. So it's better to do it earlier, with multiple pistils you can cut back well, around 2-3 weeks into flowering.
