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

Hey - Big time noob here. I was going to grow on a 12-12 from seed but didn't realize how much it would stunt growth. I changed from 12-12 but in my grow diary I can't change from that. I only had 12-12 for a couple of days. I'd like to remove the strategy from my grow diary to p

Too much trimming up top?I read defoliating throughout week 3 of flower is around the last time you should trim. I cleaned up the bottom real well, but Do you think I trimmed too many fan leaves up top? A lot my bud sites have one fan leaves and the nodes under it have none at all?

Seem to be having overwatering issues - moving forward I’ll definitely wait a little longer before adding more water, but anything that I can do at this point to try and improve things? Or is it just a wait it out scenario? Any insight would be appreciated.

How do you guys quickly battle gnats naturally if you’ve came across them? I was thinking about letting my top medium dry out then mist the surface with a water/organic neem oil and then cover the top with sand and diatomaceous Earth

Aplicar defoliación??Veo que ya tienen muchas hojas. ¿Me recomendáis una defoliación? No me atrevo, ya que no quiero extresarlas mucho y frenar el crecimiento en ésta última semana, aunque creo sería bueno para que penetre mejor la luz. ¿O bajo mejor un poco el foco?

To defoliate or not (auto flower flowering stage)?Hi All, As per the title, the plant looks great to me (week 9), but I do wonder whether I should defoliate? I'm running 200w of LEDs for the one plant so no shortage of light. I realise 200w is rather over the top based on the daily light integral. Thoughts?

Shes very bushy &lower buds don't get much light. Tricomes are 10%amber, so i don't have much time left. Any suggestions very welcome. :)
