Krisisanswered grow question a year ago
If you have humidity issues and/or lack of airflow that would cause mold or something then yes. Otherwise, no, and also no.

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? 😁

What should I do with my plants that have grown thicc to receive more light? - First GrowMy 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).7 months ago

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?Week 6

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?

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?7 months ago

Too many colas? (Serious)I'm scared that I have too many colas. I have to continuously trim leaves to avoid humidity hotspots. The internodal distance is super short. All branches are stripped from all leaves except the ones visible from above (3-4). I am afraid that the buds won't have enough spaceBuds. Other
