First off I'm no auto expert! As the other guys said treat it like a photoperiod. I'd probably wait till it was a couple 3 weeks into flower. And would trim the leaves that are covering up bud sites. That's what we all do with photoperiod plants. SanBoisRedux & ChAs420 are most likely more experienced than me with autos. SanBois for sure is more experienced than me cause he's an old mofo, so am I he's just older.  Honestly most the guys and gals on here are of advanced years. Hope this helps. Don't be afraid to ask questions, the guys and gals like to try and help.

Thanks man..
