Cotyledons branching
korn420liestarted grow question 10 months ago
Is a branch growing from one of the Cotyledons (first leafs), should I removed it for symmetry?

Yes, remove that weird branch.
In my experience, any branches growing from there never amount to anything.
Removal will not harm the plant in any way.
Symmetry really does not matter, some plants grow with missing branches/nodes, or even extra branches/nodes.
BTW, cotyledons are not leaves, the first true leaf is the first serrated leaf, usually single bladed, but at times, with three or two blades.

Eventually plant will lose symmetry anyway.
Plant is looking good, but small.
If you'll remove that leaf now, that can stunt the growth of an auto.
There is also a possibility that you will damage a cotyledon - never ever remove cotyledons, they should dry and fall off by itself

Happens on my autos mostly. I just leave it until the plant gets ready to defoliate. Chances are it wont compete with the others and you will just end up cutting off a little twig of a couple inches.

It's a young plant I personally would not mess with it yet. Maybe in a week or two once the plant is more established.

¿Por qué no se desarrollan lateralmente?Tengo algunas teorías:
1) Exceso de riego (por problemas varios, he tenido que regar 1 vez por semana en gran cantidad (demasiado)
2) Estres por movimiento (debido a tormentas y otras razones, muevo las plantas de ubicación varias veces por semana
3) Exceso de fertilizantes?Week 6

What do you guys think?It's my first grow (automatic, 6 weeks old) and compared to other plants, my plant looks a bit small/ridiculous. I give her 24/7 light (I read that on guides) is that maybe too much? What's your impression of her? I use two growlights (one from above and one from the side).Other. General questions

Why dont my plants grow towards the middle/light and instead concentrate near the walls?Looks like my plants are growing towards the wall and not towards the middle where the light should be the best.
Why do the plants behave like that and what should I do?
Raise the net, rotate some of the plants, then redo the net?
Remove the net completely?
leave it as it is?9 months ago

18 weeks, but I'm not sure she's ready.The plant is 18wks old. Leaves are getting yellow, some buds are so fat the branches bend under the weight.
I'm worried some pistons are still white and I can still see some clear trichoms, but she's 3 weeks after the recommended date of harvesting.
Do you think she's ready?Week 18
