Please critique my defoliation of this ~50 day old autoflower!

Advanced Techniques Pruning

I made my first post just the other day about pruning an auto that was having serious airflow issues. I definitely didn’t do enough, and it’s already overcrowded again.

I decided that I want to use this other auto to be try being more aggressive with defoliation and some training. I know pruning autos can be controversial, but a lot of sources say it can be great, and, well, I’m experimenting.

Here is my before and after. If you have critique, I’d love to hear it! Trying really hard to learn.

Looks like a nice job.
You left plenty of fan leaves for good nutrient production. You have good air flow and light penetration.
She will do great as far as I can see.

Nice job, autos get out of hand quickly. Mine have been harvested around 10-14 weeks from seedlings. I use hydro and they grow big, bushy and fast. Good luck
