Too many? Too big?
Puffdamagikchillum
started grow question 6y ago
Are these huge fan leaves gonna create a problem with the growth of this plant?? Can these be taken off to give new growth underneath some light without damage to the plant?? Or just leave her be?

Don't take them off they absorb a lot of light. Wait and LST if there is a problem.

Topping very bushy plants with low node distance
This plant is very bushy already in this stage, is this normal? I wanted to top them and ask about the timing, if its right or not, but it's getting hard to count the nodes and take photos , because there is so much in the way. Happy growing!

Defoliation - 5th week flowering
Heey gardeners!! I'm into 5th week of flowering with three healthy beauties. After the stretch they got bushier than I first expected, and now I'm worried there's too much shade covering the buds. Should I defoliate them? How much and how should I approach? Thanks and stay high

In the photos above there are some deformed leaves. Not really sure what the cause is. If any of you have experienced this and no how to correct it, it would be greatly appreciated.

Is my seedling a mutant or could this be due to half the seed husk taking longer than usual to fall off and deforming the growth of the first leaves?

Popcorn/ mini branches keep/remove?
Buds are tiny not fattening at week 6. I also have lots of popcorn nugs. Being first growth not sure to remove them or keep them at this late in flowering (week 6), might stress the girls out or might even help fattening buds? Should i clean up the leaves as well?

Blätter und Triebe im Zentrum meiner Lady
Jetzt muss ich doch nochmal nachfragen. Im Zentrum meiner Lady sind die Blätter sehr dicht und manche Triebe werden verdeckt. Sollte ich jetzt vielleicht doch besser ein paar Blätter aus der Mitte entfernen? Vielen Dank für eure Unterstützung

Lot's of malformations. Second pair of leaves never appear. Then two heads... maybe a natural topping? There are little bulbs everywhere... she's lost? I prefer to wait but I don't know.

Reflecting on 1st grow: when should I have started pinching the side growth? There are lots of small buds on thin branches that are not going to develop as much. I thought that leaves help plants grow, so probably I kept too many of them. What the basic wisdom on pruning?
