Crushed egg shells on the soil around the plant helps a bit. Had so many slug problems.

1. Ash on top of the soil around the stem. 2. copper wire on top of the soil around the stem. but haven't tested any of them by myself.

I won’t personally recommend pesticides. You can put some diatomaceous earth on top of the soil around the stem.

I'm hesitant to defoliate since this is my first auto grow but the blueberry is damn bushy the tangerine dream could use a touch up too. Would you remove all the big fan leaves, half of them or what would you recommend? Tucking/tying down leaves is no issue if low stress is key.

Yellow in the leaves, I've been feeding until runoff on a Sun - Tues - Thurs and just letting it sit in-between. Feeding with a 1.8 EC solution and my runoff starts at 800ppm and then drops down to 500 by the time it's finished. Increase nutes? nutes every day? do nothing?or???

1/3 plants has leaves that are almost pointing straight up. I have read two opposing things. One being that the plant is actually “happy” soaking in the sun and directing it to the bud sites. The other being some sort of deficiency- either calcium or magnesium? Any thoughts?

Strange leaf deformation
Does anyone know what the strange leaf deformation is? I am guessing it is VPD related or perhaps air movement? I added the big fan after it appeared, and it is run on a lower setting. TIA for the help!

Plant with strange "leaves schema"
A plant (1st veg week) grown from old RQS AMG seed has a strange "leaves schema" very different from the other plants: leaves don't grow in couple but in a messy way with no order. Is it something going wrong or this plant is healthy like that?
