answered grow question 6y ago
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... 👊

Leaf/folliage Misting/Spraying
Hi! General question about leaf misting. I'm starting to do it before lights out but can it be done under lights too? I know from limited gardening experience that it can be detrimental to leaves but is the same true for our girls when under LEDs? I'm using a Mars Hydro TS1000.

Dark spots on leaves forming
So this is two separate plants I've got brown spots forming at the top. They're both about 4 weeks into flower. Watering every 3/4 days (4/5 litres each) with nutes. Humidity around 50% 26 degrees day time around 20 at night. Any ideas?

Not sure what's causing these purple leaves and leaves drying out. Plant overall seems unhealthy near the end of flowering, any suggestions appreciate
This Dos si dos Auto has been struggling over the last couple weeks with upper leaves turning purple and drying out/breaking apart. The buds also look strange to me but that may just be from my inexperience. I'm growing in organic soil and have dry amended twice, 18 days apart.

Spider Mites 1 week before harvest
1 week before harvest I saw some white dots on some of the leaves which might be spider mites. It's not that spread out yet and only on a few small leaves, I have seen no webbing either. Do I harvest ASAP or will the plants endure a few more days without it affecting the buds?

As pictured about three leaves on my Pyramid are showing a reddish spotting pattern between the leaf veins. I’m thinking calcium, possible low ph. Do any of you awesome folks have a different idea that I am missing?

Week 1 Day 5 picture-I'm concerned about the leaves praying to the sun gods and slight yellowing. What's happening here? Is it due to low humidity and possibly light burn. Humidifier has been added to the tent and light distance increase to 20 inches as a precaution 😉
