Looks good.
My rule is this…
Only take half of what you think you should. Cutting helps but too much will slow her down. Just a little then ignore cutting for a while then revist. Only half of what you think you should. That way you leave some and won’t hurt her.
Just my advice. We can always go back and cut, but we can’t glue leaves back on…
Thanks, appreciate the advice and well noted !
UPDATE
What a difference a day makes… Tempted to remove the next largest fan leaves to get light below, as the removal yesterday seems to have had a very positive effect.
I see the light! Is what those bud sites are saying. 
I removed some fan leaves also. The bud sites took off. Plant looks fabulous 
Day 25 (early veg 15/21 - extended by one week)
She seems to be very healthy and growing like mad!
At what point should she be topped, once above the first fan?
Five nodes up. Looks ready now? I topped mine around the same time.
Yes have gone ahead and done it now - definitely 5 nodes and topped her.
I assume all good/no issues ?
Looks great . Those two tiny new ones should start taking off in a few days. I maybe should of let my center get taller but it worked fine.
Nice - good to know! She’s looking sweet 
Hey Gunk,
What strain and day is your grow on? Thank you sir your plant looks amazing happy growing!
I extended late vegetation a week based on what I’ve seen and read here. Also by the looks of her. We’ll see how she looks in two weeks. Thank you 
I am 20 days in on my auto NL she is growing by the minute it seems like everyday she changes and grows so much it amazes me!
That is just Beautiful
It doesn’t get any better.
Awesomeness
UPDATE
Early Veg - day 17/21
She is beefing out significantly, worried about lack of space now but surely will be fine.
Should I be defoliating so soon after topping?
She could use a little hair cut on her fan leaves for sure! Good job on the topping
She’s had a decent haircut, got rid of fan leaves blocking the bud sites and also some spotted leaves much lower down. Hopefully I haven’t gone overboard! Water change to coincide with it today as well.
There was some slight moisture on one or two leaves, I’m trying to get the humidity down, especially before switching to the flowering phase! Average 60% humidity.
Couple more day and she moves into late veg.
Great job on the haircut! Amazing. The moisture on your leaves is likely from condensation from them touching, the haircut was the exact thing you needed to do to help your girl! Good job
Looks good. Growing fast
