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

Sticky resinous leavesMy Purple Star Killer plant is 7 weeks old and, after topping, shows foliage overcrowding. Did LST on main lateral shoots.The leaves are quite sticky to the touch with a strong herbal smell. Is this normal for this strain? My Mochi plant of the same age is not resinous.Leaves. Too many

Should I defoliate? Is it too late to defoliate (Autoflower)?I want to use photosynthesis from leaves as much as possible, but worry light will not penetrate to hidden buds.Will buds in shadow still develop but at slower rate - or will they be airy, popcorn buds at harvest?Buds. Not fattening

One of my girls is a little stunted - what's wrong? (Wedding Cake Barney's Farm - feminized)So as you can see one of my girls is looking a little stunted, and the leaves are kinda flakey. It's still making progress but way slower than the other 3, they are growing just fine. PH is alright, i didn't use too much nutrients, i think maybe i could have over watered it a bitPlant. Too short

Wedding Glue auto has WAY too many leaves. What do i do with her?What do I do with this overly leafy plant? I'm pretty sure the foliage caused very airy buds and tops. What should I do here? Major defoliation before 48 hours of dark? Leave it, cut the branches off when harvested and run a dry trim or with this should I run wet trim? Thanks!Week 14
