If you have humidity issues and/or lack of airflow that would cause mold or something then yes. Otherwise, no, and also no.

At start of light today in this tent I noticed this single top bud looking a little shriveled or curled compared to the others. What could cause this? Plant is not showing any other signs, but is getting over a very brief fungus gnat infection.

Hey there, wondering if anyone can help me out with a bit of knowledge on the cyco line with auto flowers, should I be changing anything like implementing both grow a+b and bloom a+b? Any help to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

What do you guys think about the praying leaves? The internet seems to disagree. Most people seem to think it's a good thing. Everything is in high gear and the leaves are using all of the energy to absorb light. Some camps say it's too much light and it's stressing out.

How much to trim my bush?
I've created a fairly flat canopy but I have all this new growth a few nodes down from the top that just is not getting any light. I am not sure if I should leave it since its fairly close to the top or remove it.

Leaf density, defoliation, nutes, genetics, just healthy?
My plants are very leafy compared to most I see. how can I expect bud production to unfold? Currently I move clusters away from each other. I twist off a leaf or two here and there to allow for light penetration. Is this my genetics? nutrient set? just really healthy?
