If it was a photoperoid i'd say sure you could get away with it.. But for right now with an autoflower I wouldn't touch it.. Wait till flowering before you decide to try to uncover budsites.. And try to tuck leaves before snipping them... 👊

No tip blades A few of my new growth leaves have grown without tips on the middle blades. I thought it may have been a wind issue so I turned one of my fans off. It’s also gotten cooler recently so that may have played a part. Has anyone dealt with this issue before?
