Need a little advice on my Auto Flower world cup entry

[KYGrow]

so I'm growing green O matics, under a 400 watt hps light. I'm using

sunshine advance mix no. 4 and general organics nutes. My

question is this, knowing that stress is very bad for auto's should I

lollipop the plants? The are a bunch of small buds forming at the

bottom that I know won't amount to anything, but if I pull them all

off does the chance of stunting the plant out weigh the benefits of

removing the buds? I also would like some advice on pulling off the

fan leaves, it seems that when people lollipop plants they pull off the

fan leaves as well, but it seems to me this would only do harm to the

plant. You can see the latest video of the plants here

hey man for the lower popcorn, if you feel the light won't go down to there then yes you can pull them away but i prefer to do it a little later when flowers are mor forned and so they take the stress better and won't slow down at all almost when you pull it. for the fan leaves it's the same i also do it sometimes but i do it much later in flowering more around week 5 6 deoends the strain.

Good luck man
