I wouldn’t take any leaves off but that’s my opinion I leaf tuck or if you can pony tail the top two leaves and at lights out let it down happy growing

Ok thanks for that, wen u say ponytail u mean tie die? And that’s a nice grow and yield there pal👍🏻
Ponytail is were you take the top two leaves and fold them up and use plant wire and tie it around the two leaves not to tight but just enough to hold them up

Hit it a bit harder with light either. Ump power up some or lower the light a touch to keep the stretch down a bit it’s not horrible but u can see the stretch between nodes. Try and keep the nodes as tight as u can will keep the plant a bit lower and allow buds to grow together to for one big cola instead of smaller single buds.

Well with autos they r basically on their own time line u like a photo plant u can veg and flip to flower when u want. An auto does it change on its time usually 30 to 45ish days. Mine all usually flower at about 32 days u can do slight defols on autos do them selectively tho 2 to 4leaves at most here or there. Like if u see a big leaf covering a good potential bud sit or an area that can grow good buds if u can’t tuck that leaf under another one and it stay there take it off it won’t hurt if u do a çouple here or there. Check out @Nicky and @Not2SureYet journals as they like growing auto plants alot and have some pretty killer moves.

You should follow that with a good feeding/watering. What medium are you using? She looks great by the way

Personally I prefer topping autos once they hit the 4th-6th node depending on the growth rate. I get several benefits from this method. LST with spreading the sides out to expose all the underlying bud sites and less of the plant to defoliate…sometimes. I’ve had 2 that I LST only and fight getting all the bud sites exposed and at the same heights for even light distribution and air circulation. Your call and good luck
