Under Canopy Maintenance During flowering with Autos

I keep removing these underbuds as I call them. I don’t want to stress the plant being an auto and all, but it doesn’t seem to have stressed them this far. With autos, do you remove these small branches even when in the last weeks of flowering or just let them grow out? I’m asking for personal opinions here in regards to autos. Thanks!

Nice training and pruning job, I’d only remove the little leaves and fluffy buds.

I zap the lower half of the plant during stretch, but if you are only a 2~3 weeks away from harvest then leave them alone Collect them at harvest, they are good for extracts.

Thanks! I spend about 8 hours a week just repositioning. With DWC I have to remove my ties to open the bucket which usually do twice or three times a week.
