Hi dude, if it's an auto in week 4 of life, let her be, needs to be as healthy and as happy as possible when entering flowering stage. If it's a fem one, and plan on veging her for longer, you can remove lower growth

Just leave them for now, especially as it's an auto. You've created a nice shape now let those nodes grow out and enter the auto flowering stretch. After the stretch in around 3 weeks, evaluate which branches not going to make good bud and eliminate them(usually very low down or not stretching shoots) 🌱👍

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.

Defoliation late in flower on Auto's I 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!

Removing popcorns There is some real advantage on removing those little "popcorns" in order to increase the main buds size? Or will it delay the growing of the buds in general? It is second week of flowering, auto.
