HELP! Help!

I need help keeping my scissors away from me - 4 days ago I took this many leaves off her thinking I would leave her alone and let her grow - but she just wants to be a bush.

She's been pouting lately after a scissor session (say those two words real fast 4 times) - so I have been hesitant in grooming her - but I only exposed about another dozen bud sites - and the more I expose they just grow up fast to become a branch.

Honestly I've never had an autoflower grow this way - could be a good yielder.

Hahaha, haircuts are addictive. That is a nice shape and size for an auto. That "technology" has really come a long way in the last decade or so.

I only trim enough to allow the light to reach as many bud sites as possible. If the foliage is not casting a shadow on the buds, I leave them alone. I don't buy into the notion that they need defoliating to allow a breeze or airflow. As long as you have some circulation and air exchange function, they should be fine.

She is a bushy, big girl. I had a very bushy one last grow that yielded over 6 oz, and had 30 tops. I slowly kept trimming until well into flowering.
It's cousin had way less tops and was less bushy but also was a big yielder.
With your growing skill for autos you will take her to her potential I am sure Canuck. Such a nice looking plant.
