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.

Is it a twin possibly?
One of my plants has been growing significantly slower than the others right from the get go, and then during this week I noticed how it finally popped it's second set of leaves, only there was two sets of leaves. So the question is, do I have a twin or is this just normal?

Last Defoliation
Hey Grow Community, My Autos are now 7 weeks old and from other diaries I saw people Defoliating extremely in the last weeks to the point when theres almost only the buds with some smaller and sugar leaves. My question is, should I do one last defoliation, and if yes, when?

At this point the garden feels a tad out of hand. I ask you pro growers and novices alike, what would you do? Defoliate and open up the canopy or let them ride? If I defoliate (I know there’s tons of guides on the web) but how much would you take out?

Has anyone experienced growth similar to specimen 2. (s.2) It's 95% not a pH issue; so if that's your solution just keep it to yourself lol.

Does anyone have a good strategy for defoliating the more leafy varieties when they start flowering? Is there a node to fan-leaf ratio you go for or can you just take off as much as you want to direct the energy to the bud sites?

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.

Final weeks of flower, am I ready?
I am curious if you all think I'm burning her with light or nutrients perhaps? I'm feeding every other day about 1-1.5 liters with 5ml bloom. 12/12, 20" away from light.

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.

I could use a little feedback about my variegated leaves. I provided pictures. I would say she has about 10% variegation. Ph, PPM, Temps, Humidity, are all within normal parameters. I'm running a 260wQB in a 4x4 tent. She is about 20" from the light. Other plants are fine.

Weird looking leaves
Regarding plant #2. Leaves seem really deformed. Very thick canopy, very short, abnormal leaves? And then what to do with it? Continue to grow? Cut it down?
