This is a Girl Scout Cookie auto that was topped after it grew for @ 6 months and never flowered.
I put it on the back porch and a couple weeks later it had 4 shoots that shot up so I cut them to clone (failure). When it started getting cold I went to bring it in and noticed it was starting to flower. This is it now about 5 weeks after it started to flower…

I personally leave the sugar leaves until trimming, but that’s a highly varied answer. I try and remove as little as possible while still strategically defoliating because once a leaf gets past a certain point of development, you actually end up giving the plant a net loss in it’s light collecting potential (less solar panels means less power going to the house).

Yes they are slowing eating themselves away. I waited last grow until harvest to trim the last leaves. And when researching i have found some leave them and some trim.
With this being only my 2nd grow Im still looking into a lot of these options.
Ill probably harvest in the next 7-10 days on the Girl Scout.
I will say that I enjoy a good wet trim. I just finds it makes dry trim this much 
less miserable.

Hey, quick question… What’s the most and average weight y’all have gotten from a single auto once dried?

A VERY rough estimate for a 4x4 wall to wall coverage would be just under a pound for a beginner, around a pound for the average gardener, and even up to 1.5 to 2 if you’re an absolute botanical freak beast.
From this, you kind of extrapolate depending on how much square footage your plant takes up. But again, very crude estimate I’d say.
