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!

Defoliation during first weeks of flower?
Hello growers, hope you are all doing great! I have a question about defoliating: What and how much? I know the theory, big fan leaves blocking light for lower bid sites, but how much is too much? Could i take like half of the fan leaves today, and another big amount next week?

Looking at other plants, mine seems to be full of big leaves and prevents light to prime bud sites. Growing an auto with the lowest amount of stress I can give I am wondering if I should trim the leaves that prevent the most light to prime areas. Thank you

Reflecting on 1st grow: when should I have started pinching the side growth? There are lots of small buds on thin branches that are not going to develop as much. I thought that leaves help plants grow, so probably I kept too many of them. What the basic wisdom on pruning?

Looking for opinions on a try of LST and a thought about taking off big fan leaves from the top
Had a shot at LST training one of my girlfriend plants, just wondering opinion from people if it has been done correctly. Also had a thought to take off two big fan leaves from the top to get more light onto nodes, not quite sure if that would be good idea

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

Defoliation Advice
Should I start pulling the leaves at the bottom that are yellowing/dying? I've read that first time growers shouldn't attempt defoliation on the first grow.

Could someone give me accurate information regarding the exponential growth of my one plant. All three are the same strain, is it the pheno type or unstable genetics?
