hi, its not too late. just go easy to do not stress the plant too much. no more than 3-4 leaves for day. remember that after week 6 of flowering plant will stop generating new leaves.

Weiter entlauben?
Hallo Zusammen, Ich habe ständig das Bedürfnis weiter zu entlauben, weil mir die Pflanzen viel zu dicht vorkommen. Was meint ihr? Sollte ich die Pflänzchen einfach mal machen lassen, später nochmal zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt entlauben, oder fleißig aller paar Tage? (s. Report)

Hallo zusammen. Das ist der erste Grow von meinem besten Kumpel. Dort läuft einiges schief und langsam bin ich auch mit meinem Latein am Ende. Er hatte über 3 Wochen nachts unterirdische Werte der RLF wonach die Pflanzen eh schon geschädigt waren. Kann evtl. jemand helfen ?

Check out this long reach, back of tent, 2-in-1 leaf cutter/remover I made. Just a lazy man grabber tool, magnets and razor blade... I was gonna drill a hole and mini bolt it threw but the grabber came with a magnet. Just added a couple more and it’s strong enough to make cuts.

Why is my green plant growing in that strange way? Shouldn't it be like the pink plant? Both received the exact same cares.

Share your mutant experience! I have a three-leafed beauty!
Whorled phyllotaxy, apparently! Definitely a sign of good fortune :) Did some reading up and my impression is that there's nothing special to be done about this, including feeding regimen. Maybe I should build a hexagonal tent for her? 😁 Share your experience and urban legends

Pruning fan leaves
I'd appreciate any thoughts on when it would be OK to prune out just the mammoth fan leaves that shade the node spots lower down. They're like friggin' umbrellas. When, if it all, would it be safe to do so?

Should I defoliate? Autos from seedling to jungle at week 9.
Hi guys! Need some advice, I'm growing 2 Bubba Kush and 2 Blue Dreams all autos from Humboldt. They are in week 9 from seedling and they topped my growroom space, its a 4x4" and the leaves are highly overlaping preventing flowers from direct light. Should I defoliate?? 😬 Thanks!

What should I prune before flipping to flower
I am wondering what I should prune off of this plant before I flip it to flower in a week or so. I topped it. But since this is my first indoor grow I am wondering what else I should take off.

In the photos above there are some deformed leaves. Not really sure what the cause is. If any of you have experienced this and no how to correct it, it would be greatly appreciated.

Is my seedling a mutant or could this be due to half the seed husk taking longer than usual to fall off and deforming the growth of the first leaves?

Defoliation late in flower on Auto's
I like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!
