Can I just remove all these fan leaves now that th...
The8thChevronanswered grow question 4 years ago
The leaves are responsible for photosynthesis. Your plants are always better off the more leaves they hold onto. Only cut off a leaf if:
It's blocking light to bud sites
You need to open the plant up for airflow
The leaves themselves are getting no light so can't be productive
The leaves are sick and dying
As part of a whole other training method, like lollipopping
Otherwise, she's better off with the leaf.

First I like to try the tuck in method but if I have to remove them I take the ones that are covering any bud sites and the ones that are not getting any direct light or if they hang down wards remove them as well. Think of the fan leaves as solar panels they are the main producer of photosynthesis they convert all the starch into sugars so don't take all of them off.

They have a purpose, they are absorbing the light. That being said I take them off if they’re covering bud sites or to improve airflow.

Space..Not enough space. I havent got experience with autoflowers, they are bigger then i expected, with so many tops. Is better to take smallest one (verry short pheno-left Down corner)away for better yields per plant? Or is it still OK? Thank you and sorry for my english. ✌️

What causes hydro Ph fluctuations early in the grow?What causes dramatic ph fluctuations in hydro conditions so early in the grow, and how can I mitigate it? I have hard water, so I know that’s part of the issue (I tried to install a RO system recently and failed miserably). Other than frequent testing & additives, what can I do?

DwcEs normal que la peque chupe mas de 1L de agua al dia? A veces casi 2!!!Será que no asimilas bien los nutrientes y por tanto consumes más agua?
Me parece que va un poco lento porque las flores todavía son muy pequeñas ... ¿Es mejor darles una semana extra de nutrientes?Week 9

Name my babiesI have 2 GDP plants and began a new diary. I want it to be informative, but don't want to refer to them as 1 and 2. I'm a fan of sci-fi and anything nerdy or clever. Recommendations?

Woke up feeling hungover (was not drinking), plant is dead. Fuckin plant murder mystery. I am the main suspect. Howdunnit. Pls help.Looked grow tent and saw one of my plants is pretty much gone. Only real change is I'd given it a little fish + guano fertilizer and gave it a light spray with neem oil. Live in a small apt and left the windows closed overnight due to weather. Pics are a single day apart. Ideas?
