Trim sparingly. You want your plant to suck out all the nutrients from the leaves connected to bud sites, when it stops up-taking them from the roots.

Any large fans that block sites I will take if I'm unable to tuck and hide them. Just don't do any massive defoliation this late in the game. 🤘😤

I’m kinda color-blind, help me pick a deficiency please...Giving extra calcium, magnesium and phosphorus with no improvement. I need help identifying this problem,”. It’s been getting worse and not sure why. It started with one plant a couple weeks ago, now it’s affecting the other. These leaves are from worse plant. RO Hydroponics.

First flowering? - is it the right time? Also, 'claws' on the tip freshest leaves Is this a first flower on BPP? I have no idea when to start with Bloom/Topmax, is this the right moment for this plant? Also, you can see the little 'claws' at the tip of freshest leaves, just on top. Is this caused by putting the light source too close? It was 40cm,now 47/18,5

Looking at the picture of the leaf does anyone know what the problem could be? I was thinking maybe light burn? I am growing in Fox Farm Ocean Forest and yet to give any nutes. I transplanted a week ago to fresh soil.

Spraying the leaves While I was checking my plant I saw these “black stains” like the plant is “half-bitten/scorched”.Is it possible to burn my leaves and create this effect after spraying them with nutes. Blacks spots were created today after I sprayed them and there were drops on leaves for hours

I noticed recently that a few of my leaves have these white spots on them with a little damage on them as well. Would this be linked to my slug problem? Or is it something completely different? I have been applying neem oil every few days but it doesn't seem to get rid of pests.

Snipping Leaves After Transplant Shock?Autos at 3.5 weeks and realised I used wrong soil. Transplanted to organic super soil, but screwed up and damaged roots badly in the process. Been 5 days, finally starting to show new growth, should I snip off the leaves at the bottom to redirect energy or avoid the extra stress?
