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... 👊

To remove or not to remove
Sooo, 10wks she is looking strong. Do I remove some of the bigger leaves that are almost 6-7 inches long or do i wait. Should I switch to other nutrients now or I have tiger bloom, open sesame, beastie bloomz and cha ching. I don't understand the feeding cycle it confuses me.

So I use 5 ML per gallon of fox farm Grow Big Liquid Plant Food, And 5 ML Per Gallon Of Fox Farm Buds And Blooms Fertilizer. I'm barely staring to Introduce Cal-Mag so I don't think the Cal-Mag is causing the issue, I water every 2-3 Days. Temp is Right Around 80 during the day 7

First time DWC, day 70, 3 weeks in flower. Nasty rusty spots appear on lower leaves. Is this CalMag or else? Please help understand and fix, thank you :)
I'm using TA Tripart, current EC is 1.6 - ph 5.5-6.5. Everything was smooth until week 10. Two weeks ago I started adding Plagron Power Buds and Green Sensation. Yesterday added CalMag to see if it helps, but it doesnt seem to... She drinks a lot, ph mostly goes down, EC static

Leaves damaged
I see like a nibbling of the leaves that I don't know if it is due to a splash with wrong doses of neem + soap or maybe to midges I think of soil that are manifesting more and more often. I have 3/4 plants like that, do I take out the three nibbles? and what can I do for midges?

When looking at my plants compared to others mine are a deep green. Is that normal? Does it mean anything bad or good. Just strange how two different genes are so dark compared to others on this site.

Yellow Cotyledons?
NLxBB was born with yellow cotyledons. The shell was stuck after sprouting so I had to help remove it. Took around 2 days before I saw them barely open with new growth. The new growth is green and seems healthy. Is there any reason why this is happening?

Something invisible is eating leaves!
Something is eating leaves! There are two big holes on the top leaves since yesterday. Also it looks like the sides of new leaves are eaten off. It seems like there are some micro yellow things on the eaten edges, but they are to small for me to see. What could it be?

Leaves darkening after flipping to flowering nutes. D55 Auto.
She seems to have gotten a much darker green over the last week or so and leaves have begun to take on a different feel. Assume this is just part of entering full flower, but given it seemed to coincide with switching to flower nutes I just wanted to make sure its not a toxicity.

I'm not sure what's going on, but the tips of several leaves are twisting over and/or turning white. I don't know if it's a nutrient deficiency, nutrient burn, I don't think it's too much heat, but maybe due to sun burn? I'm not finding much luck about white leave tips online.

Leaf Discoloration
I woke up this morning to only one of my strains having discoloration on the leaves. Still looks extremely healthy but I don't feel like I'm overwatering and I'm definitely not over fertilizing. Need help before problem gets exacerbated. Thx in advance.

Dark leaves
Aren't those leaves too dark? I think it's not nitrogen toxicity, maybe too week light on leaves?
