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

Should I cut fan leaves (autoflowering)?I have this Dinafem auto (first grow ever). A friend told me to cut all the fan leaves and bottom branches. His claim is that the buds that these branches yield are too small and it is more productive to make the plant focus its energy on the top buds. What do you think? Thanks!

Cutting fan leaves Just cut my fan leaves 😳 the stems we’re turning people, if I’m not mistaken it’s an early sign of an old leave that’s not as efficient in the photosynthesis? and it was covering the new growth, Or should I have waited?

3 days from completing 12 weeks. The Top Cola looks ready with all pistils Amber & curled. However, lot of Popcorn buds still blooming. Should I wait for the harvest and let the Popcorn buds bloom longer. Will that affect the Top Bud ? Any pro tips for harvesting in a closet?

Should I defoliate?Can, should I defoliate the plant to allow light to the lower buds. It’s day 52 so not sure if this will hinder bud development. I’ve already LSTed the branches out as much as I can and tucked as many leaves as possible. Thanks 😊

Hey, I was wondering about conformation and how I should approach these potential males. Should I pull them now? It has been about 10 days, since hairs appeared on the other 2. Probably going in to flower by the end of the week. Should I leave the males until then?

I prepped my Stepwell Super Soil (500ml/G of soil) with water and mixed before planting. I'm unsure how wet the bottom of the bucket is 30 days later. My plant is using 1L of water per day. How could I check the soils wetness? Would watering until run off help growth rate?
