Should I trim my Auto?

By the way, I checked this babe with a 40x lupe which is quite hard to see and I think I'm going to cut the main cola in 1 week: The main cola has 70% milky trichomes and 27% transparent with 3% amber.

The rest of the buds are about 60% milky 40% and no amber.

whoever said not to trim leaves are rite. And whoever said trim them are rite also. While in veg then no you don't want to cut off leaves. While they are flowering you still don't want to cut them off. But after about the 4 or 5 week then if you got good buds producing and you got fan leaves covering them then cut only those off. After about 2 more weeks then you can go ahead and cut off all the leaves that are covering the buds, just all the ones that are covering the buds. Give it a good drink and then in about two more weeks its harvest time. But sometimes I give it a extra 5 days without water. Only Sometimes, if It want hurt it. But do what I did, experiment. Anyway guys he said it only had about 2 weeks left till harvest, do you all think it will actually hurt the plant in 2 weeks or do it more good. And I don't mean go all out like Edward Siserhand. later dude. by the way all my blue diesel strains have started flowering all rite on the 3rd week.

A little update on the subject: I cut fan leaves covering buds and the buds got bigger, now I'm going to do staged harvest, tomorrow I cut the top of the main cola and will leave the rest for 2 more weeks checking constantly with the lupe to harvest each bud on their prime.

So I would say totally cut fan leaves covering buds 2 weeks before harvest, instant results!
