From what I understand, you better try tuck the leafes in and avoid cutting them off, unless they are pretty dead already

yeah i cut the dead ones off but from what i was told if its blocking light to a bud chop it and the plant will love it even more i just want to make sure befor i clean them up abit.. dont want to kill them

also anyone ever grow big bang auto from greenhuse seeds? thay stink like shit! not a really good smell comming off them when i open my tent up but when you tuch the buds then smell it smells piny and really good such a weird plant

yeah, no typical fan leaf clipping like photos... dead ones off the bottom... one or 2 large ones blocking light to the buds or inside of the plant... but def dont treat it like a photo in that way...

Well, Ive been doing lots of reading about this, and there is no right answer. Some say it's good and increase yield while some say it dont and just slows the plant down.
It will however stunt the plant so you will have to wait a bit longer to harvest. If fan leaves are blocking light, just tuck them in behind the buds or something, Id rather have my arm tucked behind my back then having my arm chopped off, in a perfect world the plant should too.

Anyways, Im just saying what I've been readin, I dont know any of this in practise.

I would go this direction with autos. As far as photos go, you can chop away because you can always veg it a little longer, but with auto's that have a predetermined life span, the recovery takes away from your end result.
