Trimming fan leaves
DiabeticDickstarted grow question 4 years ago
Is it OK to trim the large fan leaves off? I am going to start LST in a few days and removing them would allow more light to the lower nodes?

I'm thinking plants that young need the fan leaves to take in light to support plant growth. I wait until LST is almost done before starting defoliation.

In the younger stage it's best to just tuck them out of the way, later on in late veg is when I do a little trimming.

No its better to keep em if yiu wantbreal result otherwise you are going bonzai. Yiu'll be ubder the impression that yiu have more.. but everything is growing smaller.. just bent the leaf unders instead... I pet my leaf down once a day. And slow the nutrient uptake at the apex by crushingvthe stem. After 3 weeks the liwer branch is as long as the top.. and i haven't removed anything.

First grow with autos, are these growing too slowly after a week?It's the start of day 7 and compared to some other posts, I worry these may be smaller than what they should be after a week. Are growing slower than they should be, and is the discoloration on the 2nd image a cause for concern?

Super thin leafs at the TopThe leaves at the top are super thin, different to the others, the leaves are also darker green, I think it has some kind of problem! It looks like I overwatered it because the leaves are drooping, but that's not the case! Can anyone tell me what the problem could be?

Help, what are those weird yellow spots in late veg?Hello everybody, I've checked in on my plant after I was away from home for 2 day. Now I come back to see these ugly yellow spots? During day 23°C / 55% humid. During night 18°C / 50% humid.
Checked the whole bud, but no insects. My other ideas are mold or stress from the light?

Does anyone know what’s going on here?Hey I have the following problem: A week ago, I bought some cuttings from a seller, but they turned out to be infested with thrips. To tackle this, I used yellow sticky traps and watered with nematodes. I also sprayed BAC Plant Vitality Plus on the leaves.

4 times same genetic but one has hanging leavesThe top right plant´s leaves are hanging down since ~10 days. Don´t think it´s because of over-/underwatering, since I water & feed every plant the same and the others are doing great. Was it maybe too stressfull to set the LED from 160W to 240W on 35cm distance when going 12/12?

Identify Issue: Brown Spots, Lower leaves first, from outer-tipsShowing up on 2 out of the 5 in my soil bed. Front 2. Transplanted 10 days ago, went well enough.
Watering with tap water, never tested but didn't have an issue last run. Same soil, but I did add 8 cu ft of new soil to the top. Gently amended with b6, Kashiblend, coconut powder.

No nutes added yet, just bush doctor cal mag at half dose 3 days ago with great white, recharge, and photosynthesis Plus which was the last watering of 1.2 liters.
