Think I messed up, 1st timer

If you defoliate start with the inward facing leaves on the bottom, and obviously any that shadow buds.

You can also do a much less aggressive technique called leaf tucking.

You just take the offending leaf and bend the stem carefully and push it down a layer or two to be under the other leaves.

Do not let cut leaves sit in the container, we don't want to feed things that eat leaves.
 
Yeah I did some LST early and have adjusted them as it's grown and then I started tucking after I read about it but now the tucking is getting harder and I can see some buds are not getting as much light as they should so that's why I was thinking to trim. I've probably have another 2 weeks to go so I don't want to trim too much. I was thinking whatever fan leaves are blocking inner buds and whatever is on the bottom. Any thoughts ?
 
I have a tendency to defoliate almost daily, taking a few leaves 2-6 with some rest in-between. This has not caused any issues with my FastBud autos, they seem to be pretty resilient. Your results may vary....enjoy the journey!

Yeah, so far, everytime I think I've taken too much off, she comes bouncing right back. Think I have growth too far down on the branch/ root. I only have about 2-3 inches between the ground and first branch. Should I cut that or take some dirt away ? Qrazy Train Auto, got it from Growers Choice. Should I get a current photo ?
