I'd advise not to cut any leaves off, especially at this stage.. you could try some LST if you like, tucking leaves here and there would be absolutely fine![]()

I was thinking to LST, but its till short. Maybe im going to wait for the lower growth to catch up so i can LST them... atm i cant seem to work out where im going to introduce the first bend... everythings so short!
Im so tempted to cut them... my blade is just there lol

I would be LSTing by now to get light down the middle. Also you need to bend to horizontal to encourage branching.
Your big problem is that pot and the depth to the top.
I would transplant to an airpot filled to the top. Then wrap a cable tie or two around the pot and use pipe cleaners to get her apart.
If unsure have a look at the led grow diary section for topped vs natural thread.
I would also top her.
Yield is massively improved with training and stops single cola dominance
FWIW too small to defoliate

Yep, could not agree more..hell of a waste of space right now in that pot - Clicky

I never understand why you would pay more money for a pot that you only half fill....

Bit like having a roof full of solar panels then turning half of them off....Those leaves play a very important role especially for a young plant, they provided the plant with energy which it needs to grow they also store nutrients that can be used should the plant need them...Not so much an issue once the plant is established and has plenty of foliage but I wouldn't amputate the leaves of a young plant...

Im still waiting on my coco block delivery ?? im just going to shopping and buy em tommorow if they dnt come in the morning.
And im using this pot because it hangs very well over a larger bucket. And that bucket collects all my run off, this pot sits well above the base of the bucket. So i can have it sitting there for the water to drain completely after watering.
I found this method really convenient
I alsi decided to lift the plant from the pot and just add more coco at the base and sides so everythings flush and level with the top.
And the half pot has to be the noobest move i ever made... perhaps after adding more coco i can LST her.
Also, this is an auto... i heard topping is a No No with autos. But thats youtube videos

Yes Bud! Makes so much sense.
I shall let her be...

Not the best example, but you want to be aiming for this. New shoots being dragged to the horizontal as soon as possible.
Get the plant tied down and then start strapping down the new growth.
Which, after 30 days, you have a nice open structure
Only then, just before flower I would defoliate
And the next day, day 32 ! ....
Without the plants ridiculous rate of recovery (thanks to the roots) do not defoliate!

Ive topped every auto ive grown since my first couple of plants..True,i would say there is a very short window to do this to an auto, (i like between week 2 and week 3,) and as long as the plant is not stunted during that time and is showing good fast growth,she's good to top. Massively increases yield size plus opens her up for good plant/stem manipulation.
