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... 👊

Yellow tips, light green leaves, red stems.
Hello, I had problem with yellow tips of my plants, I've been told to lower Ph and minimize nutes. I've watered her with pure water with low Ph but now she had light green leaves mostly on top, and really red stems. I think she may need more nutes, I was never giving a lot.

Leaf bite
Hi growers. My dog bit part of the leaf seen in day 9. She’s so young so I’m thinking she won’t make it. Anything I can do to help?

Possible K deficiency? What do you think?
It seems like my Grape Diamonds may have a possible K deficiency. Edges of leaves are starting to fade and brown with the veins staying green. Lower leaves seems to be greener and they're showing signs of the K deficiency but not as bad. Would appreciate your thoughts, thanks!

Brown spots on bud site leaves?!
halfway through flower and now in week 6 flower one of my plants is showing some large brown spots on only the upper leaves. I’m not sure if it’s a light or ph issue as the light is close. I stopped cal mag and some nitrogen this week but spots were showing up before.

Please help me diagnose this one :)
It is a very slight orange spotting that almost appears like the start of a calcium def, but without actually creating necrosis. It looks almost like the orange spots are on the surface of the leaf. Nothing on the bottom and it's only showing on the one fan leaf.

Big difference in first true leaves' size
Big 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).

The drooping is all me, i should have watered sooner because we've had some extremely hot days this week but this yellowing has me concerned...Does this look like PH, nutrient issue, or just how auto's react under watering? I'm flushing atm, any suggestions?

Question of the day :) striped leaves.
Where the main branch touches the ground it is very thin, could it be that I am giving it too much water? Or is it a nutrition issue?

I am not sure what’s going on with plant A (pictures above). Does this look like a CalMag deficiency? The CalMag at 5mls per gallon seems to be working but I’d love to know what some of you other growers think? Thank you for reading this post and thanks for any advice given. 🙏

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?
