My plant is very short and stocky. Lots of large fan leaves. Would I stress the plant too much to defoliate at this stage? It is an auto flower.

There’s plenty of airflow within that canopy. I wouldn’t take any off at this point.

Agreed. Looks fine as is. Lots of bud sites getting full light. Once flowering gets going, it will get taller and will need the leaves for energy.

I trim leaves and LST my autos until about a week or so before flower starts. I average 4-5 ounces per plant in my indoor grow. I keep leaves off the soil and ensure massive air flow around them. So far I’ve been very successful.
