Last Defoliation
Hey Grow Community, My Autos are now 7 weeks old and from other diaries I saw people Defoliating extremely in the last weeks to the point when theres almost only the buds with some smaller and sugar leaves. My question is, should I do one last defoliation, and if yes, when?

Weird leaves
Giant fan leaves, the leaves inside were super wet, and don’t look normal at all. I trimmed 2 of the big leaves, hoping a little more light and air flow will help. Any advice?

Should I defoliate? Autos from seedling to jungle at week 9.
Hi guys! Need some advice, I'm growing 2 Bubba Kush and 2 Blue Dreams all autos from Humboldt. They are in week 9 from seedling and they topped my growroom space, its a 4x4" and the leaves are highly overlaping preventing flowers from direct light. Should I defoliate?? 😬 Thanks!

Regretted ovewatering guy. Still bot enough?
Hi peeps, a regretted ovewaterer here. Is It normal to wait 10 days in between waterings? I must say I was out for 5 days while humidity came a little up and temp was around 16°c, now fixed, btw the smallest of the four seems a bit overwatered even with this few. I'm puzzled.

Should I defoliate?
Hello everyone my plant has grown VERY bushy and the fan leaves are crowding together and turning each other upside down. (See second pic) So I was wondering if I should just take off the fan leaves from the secondary shoots.

Big Cat Kush -
The Big Cat Kush has some very thick, small growth near the base (lots of small leaves). Never had this happen before. Is this normal for BC Kush? Should I thin it out?

Was könnte das sein? Ich habe es nicht gefunden es betrifft nur die Stiele der Blätter. Auf dem Bild das ist eine Purple Punch aber auch bei der daneben Critical Kush fangen diese Veränderungen an... es ist kein Mehltau oder anderer Pilz Kein CalMag Mangel Blätter keine Anzeichen

How is it looking?
How are the plants looking? Adding a new light soon so they can get extra space, however im a bit worried as the fan leaves are growing huge shadowing the nodes. The strain is mother gorilla from RQS

Is my seedling a mutant or could this be due to half the seed husk taking longer than usual to fall off and deforming the growth of the first leaves?

I have 3 leaf problems. Look at the Day 26 pictures. The leaf closest to the fan has two tones. A closeup on day 25. The tip of one is yellow. Furthest from the fan, a leave has brown spots (I'm thinking a water drop caused a burn). Thoughts? Also, how do I raise the humidity?

Does this Gold Leaf auto need to be thinned or SCROG'ed?
Should I thin her out? Should I SCROG? Does she look healthy? I've done a lot of LST and water with a pH 6. She's a Gold Leaf autoflower at 7 weeks, 2 days.
