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

Has anyone every tried having regular live ground worms in their pots while growing your plants? We use worm dropping in our soil so why not have live worms?

Defoliation??
When is the best time to defoliate when scrogging? I know this question might be a bit vague but just wondered if there was a more suitable timing with the plants cycle.

Hello guys!! This is my very first grow and I just would like to have some feedback and suggestions about how it is going. This is the plant after 15 days. It seems healthy but maybe a little small. Do you think is doing fine? Thanks for the help!

Mainline/Manifold: Trimming fan leaves after done with topping.
Finishing up the topping portion of mainlining. P2 to be Nebula-Haze style and P3 to be Nugbuckets style. I'll be trimming growth tips other than from the 8 cola sites on each. Still keep un-shaded fan leaves below those levels? A lot online shows all lower fan leaves trimmed

I currently have the secondary CFLs (2x65w) sort of below the canopy (see pictures) in an attempt to get more out of the shorter branches. Would I be better off moving them up towards the top or will the lower portion have some use for the light?

Is this normal?
Hey guys and gals, it's my first time growing so I just want to make sure this is a normal looking Seedling. It sprouted about 2 days ago and is smaller than the rest of my seedlings. Maybe genetics? What's your opinion?

Do Autoflowers double in height upon flowering?
Should I expect this autoflowering strain to double in height once it begins to flower? I'm a little surprised that it has not flowered already, but I'm also really happy that it's taking a bit longer. Curious what you think!?
