Reduce leaves blocking light?
Jack Herer. Buds aren’t really fattening up. Leaves are a lot and kind of pointing down over the bud reducing light getting in. Week 7 of flower. Should i cut off some of the problem leaves blocking light at this stage?

Need help diagnosing her issue. Not sure if it's a burn (haven't had an issues with light burn so not thinking that really, and haven't been too aggressive with her nutes). Or maybe potassium deficiency? I see a few orange spots so thinking maybe calcium too?

Weird looking leaves
Regarding plant #2. Leaves seem really deformed. Very thick canopy, very short, abnormal leaves? And then what to do with it? Continue to grow? Cut it down?

Is my seedling a mutant or could this be due to half the seed husk taking longer than usual to fall off and deforming the growth of the first leaves?

Defoliate or not yet?
The breeder (AutoSeeds) says they work better if you don't LST to much and focus on the main cola. Should I select a few of the large leaves and defoliate them to get more light in the middle. Just don't want to pick the wrong ones. Hope I have enough images to help you help me.

Lot's of malformations. Second pair of leaves never appear. Then two heads... maybe a natural topping? There are little bulbs everywhere... she's lost? I prefer to wait but I don't know.

Should I be concerned about the "hole" damage in "White Widow - Day 28 - Damage"? No bugs, checked everything. I've read that this type of damage can be a consequence of microtopping, which I've recently done. Other than this leaf, the plant is very healthy.

Hi i know its early stages but the leaves on this plant are all twisted and bent out of shape. On top of this theres a white vein going through the middle of the leaves and the stem is generally very weak and nearly collapses with little air circulation. What should i do?
