Can I remove 1 leaf?
I've got 2 bud sites that are covered by 1 leaf, I'm itching to take that one leaf away to expose those budsites as I can't bend it out of the way because the stem is still too short, will this shock the plan at a critical stage? Am I better waiting a few days?

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!

Popcorn/ mini branches keep/remove?
Buds are tiny not fattening at week 6. I also have lots of popcorn nugs. Being first growth not sure to remove them or keep them at this late in flowering (week 6), might stress the girls out or might even help fattening buds? Should i clean up the leaves as well?

Weird growth
This plant keeps growing in a weird way, the main stem is not straight and the new stems are not symmetric as normal. I've had similar growth problems on beginning of my other Blue Bullet grow, can this be only genetic problems?

Hey all! Any ideas what is going on with my #3? If you look at previous weeks, she had some white spots start on the cotyledons, but it didn't seem to effect the new growth. #2 was planted at the same time and subject to the exact same watering and conditions and is thriving.

Early flower stage advise
So the branches are kind of short and my lighting area for bloom iss also 30x30 in a 60x60 tent. Should I try to open the canopy more with LST? Defoliate more in the middle? Or maybe both? Maybe I should leave it like that... Im excited about the flowers and don't want to f*ck up

Plant not flowering
After 13 weeks this lady is not flowering- every time I see the new growth it just develops into more leaves! She has also streched massively over the last 4 weeks as if she's just about to flower but nothing. She was a free auto seed I got but seems like she's a dud?

Sticky resinous leaves
My Purple Star Killer plant is 7 weeks old and, after topping, shows foliage overcrowding. Did LST on main lateral shoots.The leaves are quite sticky to the touch with a strong herbal smell. Is this normal for this strain? My Mochi plant of the same age is not resinous.

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.

I could use a little feedback about my variegated leaves. I provided pictures. I would say she has about 10% variegation. Ph, PPM, Temps, Humidity, are all within normal parameters. I'm running a 260wQB in a 4x4 tent. She is about 20" from the light. Other plants are fine.

Defoliate lower fan leaves on Autoflowering Lemon Haze???
Should I defoliate a few fan leaves towards the bottom of the plant? She is very very wide and bushy. I feel like the bottom would produce some large branches and buds if there was more light penetrating. And there are so many leaves tucking only gets so much light through.
