Is it safe to remove some of the 5 pointed leaves from the top of the plant to maximise light penetration on the lower vegetation? Thanks Crew, GH

Hi there, IMO, your plant doesn't seem to need any defoliation yet.You can still tucking the fan leaves.Those fan leaves are acted like extra sources of energy for plants.Recommend to defoliate at the start of flowering circle and again at 3rd week of flower or at the end of stretching period.Later that period ,you shouldn’t stress the plant anymore and defoliation at late flower stage could even lead to hermaphrodism.Happy Growing... ✌️

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?

What to do with the leaves? Let them grow or use a specific method to grow?My baby is finally starting to grow and expand fast. I'm unsure what the best thing to do is with the leaves, as there seem to be so many. Should I take down some leaves? Should I leave them? It's the first time growing in such a small tent and a auto.

Curly young leaves (help)I have a little problem with the plants in my indoor (70x79x160 with 4 airpots each of 12 litres) since 2 days ago are decayed, 3 days ago (Friday) I changed the lamp mars hydro ts600 (100w) for a more powerful mars hydro Fc300 (300w) I do not know if it is the change of format, the power of the knob I left it at half that is in theory 150 watts of its total capacity 300w and at a height of about 40 CM. The next day (Saturday) I saw that they were the same so I proceeded to leave it at 40 degrees of power and I gave them biofish fertilizer to see if it was a question of hydration but today Sunday I realize that they are still the same. I don’t know if it’s the light intensity with the new lamp or that I over watered them 3 days ago on Thursday (I watered them with around 550ml of water per pot) and as I said before, when I saw them like that on Saturday I gave them biofish fertilizer, but nothing…

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.

Possible Over Watering. Can I get an experts look?My plants leaves are looking droopy and condensed. I am worried that I may be watering them too much. I water them with a gallon of water every 3 days with 3 teaspoons of "Grow Big" added and mixed into the water pot. Do they look normal for a 4 week old plant?

LST trim??Things are getting a bit cramped with my LST. Some fan leaves are buried under others or are on the ground. Should I trim some lower fan leaves to give it room to breathe? Or should I let it rock as long as they are not blocking any light?

Topping very bushy plants with low node distance This plant is very bushy already in this stage, is this normal? I wanted to top them and ask about the timing, if its right or not, but it's getting hard to count the nodes and take photos , because there is so much in the way. Happy growing!

Defoliate the center or leave her alone?My girl is short and dense due to early manifolding and LST. The center is crowded and there's not much light penetration or air flow there, though I do have fans going. I'm tempted to defoliate some older leaves crowding the center. Don't want to stunt it, though. Thoughts?
