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

In preperation for a long warm med summer, I'd like to finally grow a BIG tree oustide where she belongs :) what strains would you recommend for as discreet smell as possible? Big trees smell but I've heard rumors of unique scents that aren't as easily recognizable.

After loosing my amg (covered 30%) I putted a net over the left 3 plants to cover the hole room. I still have some space, would you switch back to veg for 1 week or just let her bloom and start a new run? Every advise is welcome 👍 10 days of flower ~ 50cm hight left I hate it

Got some tiger bloom coming and it's a 10 week flower so plenty of time. Being my first grow I guess my questions an easy one..Hows it looking? I'm going to start at half nutes and increase until I see a bit of nute burn then back off. Very small increases.

How much time do I have left before I can harvest these ladies? Today is day 42 of flowering and according to Sensi, the flowering time is 45-50 days. Tomorrow I am going to start week 11 and I am wondering if I should start flushing the ladies or feed them for few more days.

Hi everyone, anyone have any suggestions on when to put this little beauty into flower? I’ve never grown such a small plant and I’m not going for quantity here just quality. On one hand I’m thinking I could flower right now at 8 weeks but I also do not have experience mainlining.

Did I remove too much growth?
Did I cut too much? She was getting so bushy that there was water puddling on the leaves. She’s in very early stage of flowering and didn’t plan on cutting again but she’s growing like crazy. Pictures are before- After and after top view

Its spring coming into summer and humid in my area. Since my tent is in the garage, my conditions are controlled by outside conditions. Any home remedies for bringing down the humidity besides just buying a bigger humidifier?
