hey randy everything looks great, this nice people already gave the right advice so i just want to say, if you worry too much about removing leaves and don't feel like it, then just don't remove them, not much will happen if you remove one too many, but absolutely nothing is going to happen if you don't remove leaves. so just do what you feel comfortable with 
after watching the plant develop and flower it will become easier to plan ahead what to remove for the next time. good luck

absolutely wonderfull recovery, very vigorous and healthy, dark but nor burnt leaves and super tight node spacing, you are doing everything fine randy, are you going to transplant again or is it its final pot? cause if you going to transplant better do it soon before it gets too into flowering

Hey randy,
I hate to be the bearer of good news but your plant is already flowering I've attached a picture of your pistils ( these will grow into beautiful buds) the little white hairs. I would said you have been a daddy for about 3 to 10 days.
What is your present light schedule? the reason I ask is with Autos you don't need to change your light schedule.
You have The Idea On how To prune those five leaves in your picture you showed, 9 fingers said it best if you are uncomfortable absolutely nothing will happen if you don't trim, my best advice to you is to remember you can sleep on it, read up a little more and trim tomorrow, or not!
It is hard to make the decision to trim leaves especially when you don't know the outcome. I Can Only Imagine after recovering to such a nice plant it can make that much harder. Pruning of leaves should be done with confidence 4 increased light and air flow to the middle of your plant allowing your bud sites to grow bigger not your leave. it is a tricky subject for a new grower so if you don't feel like cutting remember you now how the knowledge for your next one.
My point being you don't have to cut anything it will do its thing, now you know where to cut if you decide too.

OH! I knew pistils were good and that's what they were. I just didn't realize that meant flowering began! Thank you.
I was considering pruning because it seems like the intake fan is now blowing the bottom of the plant because of it's height and she's about touching the sides of the bucket. I'll take a look at it tomorrow night and make a decision

No Title
Did finally do some trimming. Nothing crazy or intense. I waited until today since I watered yesterday. There may still be 1-2 very small bud sites at the very bottom but they seemed kind of under developed and I didn't want to overly prune her and upset things.

Congratulations Randy,
you've now taking a step into a bigger world! in time you will start finding it easier to make a decision on what and when pruning or trimming is needed and most importantly how it affects your plant. Finishing a Grow makes one look back and go, oh got it that's what I could or shouldn't have done. Your plant looks good you did a good job, remember to let your plant recover a couple of days before clipping anything else if you decide too.
Now if you don't mind I'd like to ask how close the top of the plant is to your lights? What is your high and low temperature? And how much water do you give them? How often do you give them water? And like 9fingers asked, anymore transplanting ?
the reason Im asking is your top plant leafs look like they are CLAWING ( curling down on the tips).
once again super job trimming/pruning.

I made sure I didn't overdo it. Just open up some light access to the bud sites. I won't trim again for another week.
-She is getting close to the lights again. I need another white bucket from home depot to make another spacer. It's like she just surged in height the last 2-3 days.
-Temps consistently between 71-75 degrees F. I have a fan circulating the air within that utility room as well and a de-humidifier working as well. The washer/dryer is in there but the humidity is both the room and bucket has been consistent between 50-55%
-My last 3 waterings were yesterday, Thursday, sunday. Seems to be 4 days on average. I don't recall the time before that, but when I had transported to the bucket I made a point to stop the smaller daily waterings and waited for dry soil. Each time I've watered I made sure it was dry going down to my knuckle. Usually once I notice the top of the soil is dry I gently rotate what I can to bring the moist soil up/mix with the dry.
-The amount of water is usually 2 of the 24oz Poland Spring sports bottles (the sport squirt top makes it easier to control the flow). I make sure the soil is totally wet (1 bottle isn't enough half the soil is still dry) and that it's coming out the drain holes all around.
-No more transplanting. The bucket was constructed for this. I'd have to remove a set of storage shelving in there to do a grow box/tent. One of my 1st failed grow attempts was putting the seedling directly into the bucket. It was too premature, although I've learned a few lessons. Watering properly and/or soil conditions might have helped it begin. I could have mixed some of the potting soil with the FFOF to start it off.
Thank you for the continual input!

Awesome job sounds like you are doing everything right. That shoot up in growth is called the flowering stretch sometimes a plant can double even triple in size in just a few weeks so you're definitely going to want to be prepared to add more spacers. Maybe look into low-stress training to bend you top over. I don't know anything about it in bucket grows but I use it a lot in my tent
As far as future trims go lower fan leaves, ones with burnt tips, or just the burnt tip, and once again anything making a shadows for buds site. In about two to three weeks your buds will be developed, your stretch will slow down and you will want to stop cutting leafs because it will not grow anymore leaves just fattening up buds. Your plant's will need some at the end of the grow. Best advice being your first grow and the rocky started. Be light handed with a scissors.
