Looks like your lighting is too strong for this stage. As far as defoliation goes I would lst it then selective defoliate. Autos are not like photoperiod plants when it comes to their advanced speed of growth.

Does anyone know any quick and easy methods to lower the humidity? When my lights go off I’m hitting like 60% RH and I’m concerned I might start to get some sort of mould/rot? Lights on isn’t an issue as I’m averaging around 37% RH. Any help or guidance would be helpful, cheers ✌️

Do I need to trim more?Do I need to trim more? This is my first successful attempt, 2nd grow ever. First was a disaster (this one too, almost.) I am petrified that I trimmed too much. But - when I see others plants, I'm questioning if I actually need to do more. Thank you in advance!

Hi, can somebody with look at my week 6 pics and tell me if this looks like light burn, wind burn or a nutrient issue? I thought initially that it was a nutrient lockout from watering error, but the worst leaves are all on one side. This leads me to wind or light instead.

Okay, she’s compact with tight inter nodal spacing - I’m thinking of fluxing this lady! I’m nervous because I don’t want to stunt her, but feeling brave. Any advice or tips? I’ll consider mainlining instead!

Extra branches I dug up the seedling cause I thought it was a dud. I put it back in the ground and it sprouted weird shaped first sets of leaves. Now I have random branches growing between nodes 1 and 2. I don't want these branches....can I clip them?
