The cotyledons are enclosed in a little sac. It usually sheds with the shell but sometimes it sticks to the leaves like yours. If you moisten it then it will get soft, but it won't hurt anything. Good luck on your grow!

Fan leaves in early
I’m only 5 days into flower but could do with some fan leaves removing to let light in underneath. However I only just defoliated the day before flower roughly 6 days ago. Would it still be ok to clip a few off?

Hello fellow growers! So, i heard that removing the big leaves from the plant at the beginning of flowering stage is good because it will help for the buds. Is it true? Its my first time having it right and i dont want To screw everything. Thank you ! :) Your canadian buddy, D

I thought this would be flowering by now! Should I switch to 12-12 lighting hours Or should I just keep it at 24?

Dear reader, I have 3 plants: the one with the blue badge is looking good but the other 2 are short in my opinion. They have lots of leaves and branches but they are like 12 cm high. Is this a problem? Solution? (Lights higher maybe?) Thanks!

Should I defoliate?
Should I defoliate more at this point in flowering or wait until a later stage when buds start to form? Also airflow is good on undergrowth and sides but is my room overcrowded?

During this crucial switch between veg to flowering, plants are unhappy about the $2000 stim check. Must appease them, pls help
Switched to 12-12 and damn... that preflowering stretch is no joke. My 3x3 is overflowing with fan leaves. Humidity has gone up on its own since the switch, from ~20-30 to 50-70%. Idk why. Reading about flowering. Any pointers? Start adding flow nutes?Room up,maxed horizontal

Leaf mutations in Northern Light Automatic (RQS)
Hello. Could this leaf mutation in Northern Light Automatic (RQS) be dangerous to the plants? What could it be caused by? Could this be caused by too much light for the sprout and the Top Crop Green Explosion fertiliser? The leaves grew very strong in a few days after fusion.

Weiter entlauben?
Hallo Zusammen, Ich habe ständig das Bedürfnis weiter zu entlauben, weil mir die Pflanzen viel zu dicht vorkommen. Was meint ihr? Sollte ich die Pflänzchen einfach mal machen lassen, später nochmal zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt entlauben, oder fleißig aller paar Tage? (s. Report)
