I would say meh unless they are covering a bud site or you're dealing with humidity issues. Leaves are good for plants!

😀This is my 1st time at growing Autos.
I've done photo period's before.
I'm growing in big air pots with soil and using the Bio Biz range & Cal Mag.
I see most of you guys use many different combinations of nute's.
Any tips would be really appreciated.

Hello everyone, some general questions...When you harvest, do you cut the whole plant? or depends on maturity, first cut one half and then the other?
At the time of drying...what do you think is better: hanging the whole plant (having manicured before) or hanging the branches? tyWeek 10

Are humidity domes a good idea for seedlings? Usually, before using the dome, I had almost 100% germination and with the dome I'm losing 60% of my seeds to damping off, mold issues or sometimes seeds dont even sprout. Dome at 78f and 75% humidity under 2 2ft t5 6400kWeek 6

My tent size is 120x90 (3x4). I use 2x Mars hydro sp250, would you run each at full power (total 460w) or should I dimm them to a total power of 400w (or maybe something else)?
*The question is what is the optimal power for the best results and not about a higher electric bill.*Week 10

LST or leave them be?Should I Low stress train these girls? I have never grown autos and I am very afraid to stun them. They are ripping fast through water, temperatures are high so they are producing a lot of sugars. I defoliated the fan leaves of #3 in the hope it will grow a bit faster.5y ago

Defoliate or not?So here i have 3 GSC’s. One is growing real slow so I’ve not done LST. One the 2 that i have done LST which are bigger ive defoliated one a little bit just yesterday. I can already notice its growing taller now than the other.
Think i should do the same defoliation on the other?

Plant is growing slow, maybe I'm wrong but I don't see a lot of difference since the flowering kicked in. Not as big as I expected. Looks very healthy and no problems but not a lot of evolution. She didn't get much sunlight the last 2 weeks so that's one major cause I suppose.Week 9

More defoliation?More defoliation? I’ve done some pretty serious (to me anyhow) defoliation to this beautiful lady and would like a more experienced eye to let me know if I should stop?
Thanks to lots of great advice from here she’s already looking much better.

Removing big fan leavesLast night I began removing the lower big fan leaves, but only the ones that are over 75% yellow and brown, and leaving all that are green. I saw more growth this morning so I think I'm fine so far. Should I remove the big green fan leaves or wait till they turn yellow?Week 13
