You are correct. Take one or two here and there as needed. It will actually increase the trichome production a bit. Trichomes are the plants defense. Acts like a sunscreen and a taste deterrent if an animal is eating the plant. So plucking a leaf here and there daily will trick it into thinking an animal is nibbling on it so it kicks in a trichome boost. Be smart though. Don't overly stress her. Just a light daily stress and she will he covered in sugar

Hey, it's pretty late into flower to be defoliating, but I'd say 3 weeks is just within range. I'd just remove the big fan leaves covering bud sites, but other than that don't remove too much. Happy growing!

3 days in, only cotydelons with no sign of the first true leaves. Have you seen this and has it recovered?This plant was stunted at the start after he couldn't get his hat off, but now looks pretty healthy however it's been 3 days of just cotydelons and absolutely no sign of the first true leaves. Have you had this before and did it recover to eventually grow true leaves?

First Grow 4 weeks into Veg - Let my humidity get too high for 1 night. Need help with mold/septoria/?Last 3 days I've pruned diseased leaves every morning, foliar sprayed peroxide leaves & topsoil, & added some to watering solution. Is only affecting one plant in tent. Humidity no longer issue (was waiting 4 inline fan). If I keep pulling off leaves it's going to die anyway.

Big difference in first true leaves' sizeBig difference in first true leaves' size
Its almost day 5 after emergence. Is this normal? Should I be concerned?
ALSO: It's still a seedling but, I maybe think the cup in which i'm growing it in is too small, or rather I put too little soil (9cm diameter , 4cm tall dirt).

Wet shiny spots on leaves.I find occasionally such wet shiny spots on leaves. Any idea what the root cause and how to fix it?
They are not sticky although look like.
I cannot say whether they smell because smell of the leaf is too strong 😶
I can rub them off with the thumb with no sign

Stains on the plantHey guys,
first of all, thank you for taking the time to read this. I started growing my first canopy and since I am little excited, I started before everything I ordered arrived. For that reason, I am still using the soil I used while planting the seed. Did I fuck up already?

Brown spots on top leaves - nutrients, light or something else?She went into flower, now stretching. Set light to 100%, added Bio-Bizz Top-Max and Bio-Bloom (1ml/L each).
3 days later brown spots appeared on top fan leaves, very few also on lower fan leaves.
I suspect this could be light burn or nutrient related.
Any ideas? Pls help

Insects, Mutation or related to my early nutrient burn ?Hey I noticed that one leave is looking like it has been eaten by something.. I checked every plant and also used yellow stickers, but can’t seem to find anything.
Is this related to insects or could it be something else ? (The plant had an early nutrient burn, but recovered)
