Hey friends, in past cycles I've always removed the cotyledons, but I don't want this to harm the plants even though I've read online and heard from other growers that by removing the two little leaves, the stem can strengthen better. Thoughts?

Hey Growmie, I wouldn't advise doing this, cotyledon damage causes plants to grow small and creates a delay in the initiation of flower. Hopefully, this was helpful, and remember ... "Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time".

Absolute rubbish, just leave the cotyledons, they do no harm, unlike trying to remove them might, and for absolutely no purpose or benefit.

Dont cut young plants for any reason unless you really, really have to- it allows infection in. Leave em on til they are yellow and shriveled and them remove them with clean snips. They dont bother the plant if left on too long-they will fall off on their own eventually also, but if removed too early they leave a wound that lets infection in. Just let them be for now as long as you can.

They are the storage for the plants first week of life. I leave them till they become unused. Plus it causes extra stress early on to cut.

How much / often should I be defoliating?Currently on my 2nd grow. How often should I be defoliating? I did a big defoliation at the start of flower, but it seems like after a week they've grown it all back. I'm worried I will stress them out if I defoliate too much. Do I hold off a week or 2 before doing more?

I have germinated some auto seeds and started sitting them outside but I want to move them inside to a grow tent and grow them there. Is there a problem with starting plants outside then moving them under led lighting for the veg/bloom? Anything you need to watch out for?

Advice on defoliation/LST - getting too chaotic here Is it fine to cut off some of the big fan leaves this early or should i just tie them down to expose the tops to more light? If defoliation is fine already please let me know which leaves can be cut off, and if not i also kindly take advices on tying them down. Thanks!

Which pots to use? Considering the limited space here I could perhaps (A) put one of them in a 3 gallon pot and 2 in gallon pots but that might be a squeeze. (B) Each in a gallon pot and replant later into bigger pots when I move to my veg tent? I'm thinking A..what do you say?

As you can see in the pictures, the grow tent is super packed and full of green. Its the beginning of week 5 of flower and one of my concerns is the light not penetrating through the top. Should I defoliate or trim large fan leaves to thin it out or just let it grow?
