You can always remove a couple fan leaves without stressing out the plant. Just always ask yourself why you're removing the fan leaf. If you can't think of a good reason, then leave it alone!

Nutrient lock out hot soil question - stunting starts on 3rd set of leaves always?
I noticed that they always deteriorate when the third set of leaves are forming. If these are in fact stunted from the nutrient lock out due to hot soil, does it make sense that growth is vigorous until the 3rd set of leaves form?

Wet shiny spots on leaves.
I find occasionally such wet shiny spots on leaves. Any idea what the root cause and how to fix it? They are not sticky although look like. I cannot say whether they smell because smell of the leaf is too strong 😶 I can rub them off with the thumb with no sign

Should I cut the first leaves to maximize the grow
Hello everyone A friend told my that I should cut the first leaves of my plants (the first that came out from the plants, not the cotyledons) What do you think about this idea ? And can this really maximize the size of the future buds ? Thank you for your responses ! :)

Stains on the plant
Hey guys, first of all, thank you for taking the time to read this. I started growing my first canopy and since I am little excited, I started before everything I ordered arrived. For that reason, I am still using the soil I used while planting the seed. Did I fuck up already?

Why are all the leaves on the upper half of the plant perky and the half way down start drooping off? Even the ones getting plenty of light. The soil is not that dry yet either.

Glossy lower sword leaves surrounding colas
I noticed on some of the lower buds, the small sword like leaves clustering around the buds have gone a bit glossy. Isn't this usually nitrogen related but there's no evidence or much tip burn. Should I lay off the nutes for a Few days?

Bites or stress?
Could this come from any stress? like nut. overdose after/while defoliation? or wrong PH? Because I can't find any flies/bugs which could eat my plant. I count 6 leaves which are "infected". Should I cut them off? And is it recommended to use neem oil at this point?

Faint Purplish Spots
Leaves have faint large spots in the center/top of the plant. Light is 8” from the center of the plant. Almost purplish/gray color. I have a mid grow flush coming up this Saturday. Long flush? Is the light distance to blame, something else?
