Can someone tell me if the flowers are burned? the ends of the pistils are brown. It may be that the treatment with potassium soap has damaged the pistils? I always apply them in hours without sun. Thank you very much !!

Hi @Jeanpol! Yep, those pistils didn't like your treatment. Avoid spraying anything onto buds, especially chemicals, you may ruin your final product, or even worst, loose your yield. As soon as pre flowers are building up, don't spray, but you can use a sponge to deploy your treatment onto leaves, if really needed (it takes more time but don't harm the bud-sites) I think they will recover if you stop spraying, but those buds might be affected and you may loose some weight. Keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

Spraying anything on a flowering Plant can do those damages. its a very sensitive part of a plant. Your rusty drips are anything you spilled on the leaves. I hope your Girls recovers and give you a nice harvest.

Hello @Jeanpol ! No you have no nutrient burn and yes potassium salts soap can do this but its nothing to worry about. What you need to worry is that you must not spraying anything on buds or you may risk to have residues at your final product. Happy growing ! 👊

I've had that happen to me too when using potassium soap. I've lerned to use it really dilluted and when lights go out. You should never spray the plant when in flower, it's better to harvest early and cut your losses rather than risk using anything chemichal on the buds.

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

So many leaves! Should I defoliate even more?I defoliated just before and even during the first week of flowering, but she keeps growing so many leaves even during the second week of flowering. Should I defoliate right now or wait a couple of weeks? I worry I could halt the flowering or cause even more useless stress...

Remove leaves from auto?Should I remove fan leaves from my auto flower? I wonder since it is so crowded, I worry a bit that the leaves are pressing against the buds. But maybe that isn't a problem? I've read that removing leaves is unnecessary and stressful for the plant.

Defoliation late in flower on Auto's I like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!
