I have what I think is big number of big leaves that are really close together, sometimes even on top of each other, should I be worried about it? If so, what can I do?

I'd probably defoliate the ones larger than your hand that's covering up everything. Those would be all Id take. Happy Growing! 👊

Leaf mutations in Northern Light Automatic (RQS)
Hello. Could this leaf mutation in Northern Light Automatic (RQS) be dangerous to the plants? What could it be caused by? Could this be caused by too much light for the sprout and the Top Crop Green Explosion fertiliser? The leaves grew very strong in a few days after fusion.

Check out this long reach, back of tent, 2-in-1 leaf cutter/remover I made. Just a lazy man grabber tool, magnets and razor blade... I was gonna drill a hole and mini bolt it threw but the grabber came with a magnet. Just added a couple more and it’s strong enough to make cuts.

What should I prune before flipping to flower
I am wondering what I should prune off of this plant before I flip it to flower in a week or so. I topped it. But since this is my first indoor grow I am wondering what else I should take off.

Cut leaves?
Do I need to cut some leaves? It seems to me that the new leaves are not getting enough light, because in the shadow. My first grow.

Is it OK that my first set of fingers, well other then the start leaves and the two singles, came out as 5 and not 3? Sorry, I am not up on the correct terms, fingers meaning the jagged leaves. This is my first grow.

Auto(not)flowering
One of two autoflowering plants loves producing leafs but not buds. They are both in week 7. One is doing great. But the White Widow is behaving differently. I'm not sure if I should reduce light time, because the other plant seems to like it as it is. What do you think? Thanks!

How is it looking?
How are the plants looking? Adding a new light soon so they can get extra space, however im a bit worried as the fan leaves are growing huge shadowing the nodes. The strain is mother gorilla from RQS

Nodes and Leaves that don't receive light, cut off ?
So my plant has grown pretty big in last few weeks and theres just alot of leaves ans nodes that i think are useless to the plant because they barely get any light, and bending them towards the light doesnt work because they grow too slow. CAN and/or SHOULD i cut them off ?

Trimming around buds pre week 14
I’m wondering.. should I be trimming the leaves around the buds so the buds get more light? It just occurred to me that I don’t see all those leaves on other diaries? Would it help the buds mature with the extra light and nutrients not goes to leaves? The video is from a week ago
