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

Hi growers! Should I change my light schedule for my plants when they come to flowering period? Now I have grow-LEDs (300W) at 18 hr/day and daylight-LEDs (120W) at 24 hr/day. Plants start to get bushy and start dwarfling - i'm concerned I have too much light on them.Week 5

Autoflower defoliation questionIs it safe to pluck dying leaves on autoflowers this close harvest? It’s ztrawberriez by fast buds. It’s a little after week 8. Based on my naked eye and looking at hairs I’d say about 3 weeks to go and 1 more feeding.

Should I remove these leaves? Only the ones with the worst signs of the Deficiency?Basically I’m going throw a calcium deficiency in week 7 of flower, feel like I’ve already fixed the issue by flushing with pH balanced water and reading the right nutes to the medium. Overall should I trim these fan leaves with deficiencies? And does my plant look good?

So... in the middle of week 5 I've noticed tiny pistols on my plants. I wonder if I should change feeding to bloom nutrients? If yes, should I flush it with AN Flawless Finish first for few days or go straight to blooming food? Appreciate any suggestions ;) Regards to y'all!Week 5

I have a pretty decent heat wave stretch coming my way late next week after the 4th. What’s the best way to protect an outdoor crop in full sun during a heatwave? Obviously the easiest way would be to move it, (she’s in a container) but I have a tarp on hand as well.Week 6

Плохой стартIt's interesting to find out. The way I messed with the little one and extended the veg stage will affect the quality and quantity of the final product. It seems like I ended up with a photoperiod specimen contrary to my expectations. The parents were two autos and a photoperiod AK-47 dad.4y ago

Should I remove some of the dense foliage as I start LST, or wait? Other suggestions appreciated!The Durban Poison and Jack 47 are very dense, with tight nodes. I’m beginning LST this week to get more light to more of the branches, but should I prune some of the excess foliage? If so, how do I decide what to remove? Thanks in advance for your help!

I've got some handymen coming over to fix things around my apartment in a couple of weeks time. The closet lights I ordered won't arrive until after they've gone. I was wondering, how long can I leave the plant without light?
Ideally, they'll be without it for at least 36 hours.Week 1
