You can but personally prefer to tuck the leaves.. but had a few break off my recent stardawg while really pushing the lst… not much difference noticed between it and the ones that haven’t had any leaves removed. Good luck bro 💪

Garden visitor eating my fan leaves.
This is my second grow (outdoors) and I need some advice. Saw some holes on the SSH fan leaves. When I flipped one of them over, I found a visitor that I think is a Spider Mite. The grow is looking good but I want to avoid any problems. How do I get rid of them?

Can root damage cause this?
The little f*cker has a major damage to his taproot since germination phase. I accidently broke the tip of it. But she was very strong. Fought for her life and won the battle. Now she is 12 days old and shows this. Is this caused by the root damage or from other circumstances?

Leaf damage - any suggestions?
Weather has been rough (see my notes from this week). Any suggestions on what I can do about the leaf damage to one of these Sour Diesels? I may start testing a spray mixture of water and hydrogen peroxide. Thoughts or suggestions?

Fertiliser burn
A few leaves of my bush have this little brown spots on them, I googled this and made a conclusion that it is a fertiliser burn. I assume it was done with “Root booster”. Can I continue using vegetation fertiliser? Do I need to remove damaged leaves? Any other actions needed?

Leaf necrosis and cupping. Mostly on just the older fan leaves but spreading to the newer growth.
Started out looking like minor pest damage, but turned to necrosis with some leaf cupping. It got worse after moving indoors. I’m wondering if it’s a combo of pest, disease, and some heat/light stress from moving inside. Any feedback would be appreciated.😃

Stains on the plant
Hey guys, first of all, thank you for taking the time to read this. I started growing my first canopy and since I am little excited, I started before everything I ordered arrived. For that reason, I am still using the soil I used while planting the seed. Did I fuck up already?
