Do I need to cut some leaves? It seems to me that the new leaves are not getting enough light, because in the shadow. My first grow.

Foliage looks nice and clean.. Totally up to you if you wanna cut leaves or not. The impulse to Affect and change the grow is pretty powerful in us so of course we wanna change things to make it improve.... Allow your plant to grow.

Looking for opinions on a try of LST and a thought about taking off big fan leaves from the topHad a shot at LST training one of my girlfriend plants, just wondering opinion from people if it has been done correctly. Also had a thought to take off two big fan leaves from the top to get more light onto nodes, not quite sure if that would be good ideaLeaves. Too many

Need help diagnosing her issue. Not sure if it's a burn (haven't had an issues with light burn so not thinking that really, and haven't been too aggressive with her nutes). Or maybe potassium deficiency? I see a few orange spots so thinking maybe calcium too?Week 8

Bigger leaves shading lower branches??As you can see in my last photos (DAY 28) plants are developing lower side branches. Should I get rid off the larger leaves which shade the lower branches? I already tried to bend down the larger leaves to make room for the lower branches. What do you suggest? Veg for 15 more day6y ago

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!Leaves.

When can I start with lolipoping? I am asking because the strains have hell a lot of leaves, the branches are already touching the wall of the growbox. I don't know if it's good if the branches are touching the wall, or do they need some distance to the wall?!Week 5
