autoflower leaf removal

[loeaves]

Just wandering, this is my first run at autos and just wanted to know if it's ok to thin leaf growth during budding and how much is enough. Plants are very healthy and am very pleased with my ladies at this point but wanted to thin to eliminate shading but not sure of their reaction.

Trim the leaves that are growing towards the middle - for light and air movement. As well as the ones blocking bud sites.

Yes you can trim. Training to spread branches will be most effective in producing good buds.

Sounds good
