answered grow question 7y ago
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!

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.

Should I try to further defoliate in the middle and lower parts of the plants to let more light to all budding sites? The plants are extremely bushy and it is difficult to reach into the middle to remove leaves.

Too many colas? (Serious)
I'm scared that I have too many colas. I have to continuously trim leaves to avoid humidity hotspots. The internodal distance is super short. All branches are stripped from all leaves except the ones visible from above (3-4). I am afraid that the buds won't have enough space
