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

My previous grow was from feminized seeds. Upon grinding the flowers I found few healthy seeds in the buds. Are those seeds feminized? and where did you find the answer. Thanks so much gents

Defo or not Week 3 I’m thinking I may do a heavier defoliation to expose bud sites but have had seeds in the past and am wondering if defo stress could be to blame. On the other side of it that canopy is packed and dark underneath, no light is getting through. Anybody have any suggestions?

What do you do when one of your Autos flowered super early on one side, and is now fish tailing like a mofo? You’ll see the pics where one aide looks really matured and I’m starting to see some amber trichomes.. But you’ll see on the other side, she looks great and is growing.
