I personally leave them in the dark for a day after they break ground. But it's safe to run the light at the schedule of your choosing. 🤘😤

My Indica girl seems to be struggling a bit.
I just uploaded a recent pic of the one Indica plant I have. I know first grow, mixing Sativa and Indica, maybe I am taking on too much. That said, I am a bit concerned about her leaf development. Is it my environment? Should I just be patient?

Manchas en las hojas
Hola amigos! Estoy teniendo algunos problemas en las hojas y aunque creo que con Calmag se solucionarán me gustaría oir vuestras opiniones. He notado también que algunas puntas de las hojas se curvan hacia abajo, ¿cuánto creen que me está afectando la temperatura de entre 27-30º?

Too late to trim leaves leaves on auto?
I’ve heard it can be bad for the plant to trim leaves on an autoflower. I’m about half way into week 11, plant looks healthy and buds are nice but I have a bunch of leaves under the main canopy not getting much light. Is it ok to remove them?

When to defoliate after switching to flower?
Switching my plants to flower this saturday, how long should I wait for them to adjust before defoliating? Also, how much is too much, was thinking of clipping at least 50% of the fan leaves.

Phosphorus? Potassium? CalMag? What is going on here?
So in week 8 after flushing with EC 0.4 and giving extra PK 13/14 afterwards (EC 1.9) there are still problems occurring. I personally think it’s a deficiency of potassium and phosphorus. Can anybody give me some advice or tell me how to fix it? Thanks!
