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

Early flower and plant too small?
Multiple questions: Is this the first sign of flower on the picture of D21 from sprouting? Doesn't the plant look to small for it still? How do I promote new node growth? Is watering roughly about 1.5L per week too little for nutrient influx? Royal Critical Auto - RQS

Defoliation for better ventilation?
Should I defoliate/prune to ensure better ventilation? I am going to flip the plant soon. It is quite bushy with big leaves and sometimes it is difficult to water it as there are a lot of leaves down there. And when is it better to put the net? Before of after the flip?

Time to flip?
Is it the right time to install trellis net and flip her to flower? It's day 43, she is 23cm tall (the highest point), looks well-trained already with many branches. Should I defoliate before flipping?

Is my plant delayed in growth?
Do you think the growth is slow for its age? It's going to its 7th week and it looks pretty small to me (I'm the gf) and this is my first grow and I'm not sure if we could have done something better to make it more bushier and bigger. Any advice?

What should I do with my plants that have grown thicc to receive more light? - First Grow
My plants (1 auto, 1 photo) have grown a lot and are now pretty thicc. Should I remove some leaves to allow more light directly on the new growths from the nodes? More agressive LST? Leave them alone? They have grown in a weird pattern because of my LST attempts (see pic).

Height Difference when growing different strains in one tent
Im afraid my Gorilla will outgrow the Lemon Cherry significantly in height, will that be a big problem? or will the lemon cherry maybe catch up a bit in full flower so the difference in light intensity wont be that big? both same age. Spiderfarmer SF-1000 (2024 Version)

Share your mutant experience! I have a three-leafed beauty!
Whorled phyllotaxy, apparently! Definitely a sign of good fortune :) Did some reading up and my impression is that there's nothing special to be done about this, including feeding regimen. Maybe I should build a hexagonal tent for her? 😁 Share your experience and urban legends

Slow growth-Any ideas
Hi, 2 Blue Dream+1 Bruce Banner, same day germinated, sprouted, same Light Mix BioBizz soil, same conditions. The only difference: soil for 2 Blue Dream was waiting in pots 2 months in dry space before the seeds were put in. Any ideas why are so slow and how to speed up growth.

Why is one plant lagging behind the others in growth?
Does anyone have any idea why my plant no. 3 is stagnating in growth? She had always the same amount of watering and conditions (except different medium) as the other two plants. Yes, she is younger, but in relation to her age she seems to be developing much more slowly.

When to flush and harvest and should I defoliate again?
When to flush and harvest? I think I am close but my gut tells me to keep it on the current nutrients and feeding schedule for another week or 2 and then flush but also don't want to leave it too long.. My stash is all but empty. Also, should I defoliate again?
