She’ll be okay, there’s plenty of growth to support photosynthesis while she heals 👍 i’ve seen peeps “abuse” their plants and the grows go stellar.

I dropped a sticky gnat trap on my seedling, cats knocked a pot completely upside down killing the seedling, also accidently crushed a seedling watering another plant. Shit happens all the time and you learn from it each time. I am much more careful these days

Should I defoliate light-blocking leaves from my NL auto?My NL auto is at D40 and is growing well. She's developing a good lot of cola's with nice bud sites. Up untill now I've been able to tuck the leaves away, but it's getting more difficult to keep all bud sites cleared as she keeps growing. Should I tactically defoliate?

Defoliate?Is it too late to give these girls a hair cut? I’ve heard you don’t want to do this in flower stage as it may shock the plant and eliminate necessary mobile nutrients stored in leaves. Also does anyone have tips on an easy way to do this with a scrog net or should I remove it ?

Should I defoliate?Do you think i should defoliate? There are really a lot of leaves for being 21 days old, and 3-4 of them are the size of a man's hand. She did not stretch too much till now, so there's a huge amount of leaves in a small space. I made LST these last 2 days, not going to top. Thx

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 ! :)
