When to thin plant

[DevilDog_0651]

Hey Everyone!

I have a photoperiod going (I know this is mainly an auto forum), but am somewhat of a new grower. She is on week 9 of veg. There are about 16 tops or so. I have done super cropping multiple times in multiple places, and have done some LST. Trying to make the branches bigger and stronger, and also open the middle of the plant up. This plant will eventually be placed outside, in about 3 weeks or so.

This plant will have a roughly 7 month veg. My question is, do I need to thin the plant out, or let it go natural? I have gotten some conflicting opinions, so I'm just looking for some more opinions. Here are two pics; one without recent training, and the other post lst

Lol you’ll probably get more conflicting opinions here. I have conflict with myself on this one so I’ll let u do the same hahahaha. Good luck she’s gonna be a beauty.

Thank you. I figured that would be the case here too. I guess maybe there isn't a right or wrong answer. My buddy that does this for a living suggests letting her go for now as this is my only plant. I guess if you have lots of plants, air circulation becomes a bigger issue.

I haven’t defoliated in a while have letgo natural with minimal input from me. Next run of autos I’m gonna do half plucked and messed with half left alone see what happens.
