    Default Pruning autos

    In just over week 5 of a auto grow.
    Hardly taken any of the leaves off apart from a few at the bottom.
    I would like too prune a little more but heard autos don't like it.
    Last thing I want too do is hermie them.
    Is slight pruning a issue?

    Taking a few leaves off won't hurt, major defoling would slow it in it's tracks a bit. If you can't tuck it or tie then chop it if it's covering a bud sight preventing any light getting to it.

    If she is in flower, I wouldn't take any off. JMO

    Just don't take any of the big fan leaves off if possible

    Would that not be too stressful and slow them up?

    As long as the plants are healthy it shouldn't have that much of a problem
    may slow them down for a few days but thay will bounce back
