Overwhelmed noob

Hello from viking country.
As a noob, and my first post, I find this forum overwhelming. I'm wondering about if i should prune my hydroponic NL auto. If you could please advise me to the right part of the forum? Thanks in advance.

Hello and welcome. Nice looking plant.
Leaves are light collectors. Light is plant food.
It's best to leave as many leaves on the plant as you can for now. If you take one or 2 off now and again it won't hurt but go easy.
Messing with autos at the wrong time can stress the plant and autos don't like stress.

When she is well into flower, She has finished stretching and buds are set. It is the time to start defoliating for bud production.

Looks like she is a little close to the light. Seeing a little mild burn.
Hope this helps you.

Hey welcome to the farm!
Super sweet fridge set up you got going on there! It’s a great way to create an enclosed environment.

Wait with the defoliation until flower

I imagine most new growers feel overwhelmed sometimes. Don't worry. There's plenty of help to be found here.

The more we grow, the more we know.

Im quite happy with my build. Not the slightest hint of odor outside of the fridge. Huge fan. Huge carbon filter. I seem to always oversize things :)

Ok, I have backed the lights all the way up. Still some lightburn. But is it normal for the plant to grow this big? Im using GHE tripart, feeding according to the chart. Im worried that only the upper part is getting light. But I'm hesitating to defoliage and maybe stress the plant. 9 weeks since starting the seed today.
