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 💪

Early signs of Calcium deficiency?
See a deficiency here? The whole leaf is very mildly spotty, like just a shade off... seems to be getting worse but very slowly. I had to filter the pics I took, were over exposed.

Summer is super warm and not windy. I have a humidifier, i am foliar spraying her with aloe vera and liquid kelp but unfortunately the 3rd node leaves are already burnt. How can i make sure the leaves will still help her going through the mainlining training stress properly?

Leaf miners
I spotted leaf miners' damage on a couple of leaves and an adult fly. What can I do to prevent them to spread and get rid of them at this stage of flowering? For now I'm trying to low the humidity a bit more to make the environment less ideal for them.
