People say that pinching it off closes the veins while cutting them leaves the veins open, but truth is the plant will heal up fast either way. Not going to be any difference either way. Cut them or pinch them. Whatever you prefer.

I pinch my Plants because of having my " tools" with me.....and sometimes i take asmall scissor . but only if i cant reach in the place with my fingernails.
So i do it because of having my tools always on my fingers and dont have to search it.

Sure, most people do not have a fiskars on hand or one at all. I'm sure some people could argue that unless you regularly clean your tools, you could infect your plant.

lol I love DoctorPhilgood's comment... Here's where some old school grower usually chimes in and "Iv'e grown hundreds of plant and always clip with my finger nails and never had a problem".

umm no.. I don't like to use my hands cause I feel like that's just extra chance of contamination/bacteria. If you wanna use your hands that's your choice. Generally I like to use the same pair of Fiskars and I will clean them with isopropyl in between uses.. I hope this helps and happy growing.

Normal leaves?Is this normal on young plants? Almost looks like trichs lol .. it isn't powder mildew is it? Also the leaf is weird wavy maybe after effect of the light damage caused by intensity? Again, my apologies for asking so much; I had considered myself very well informed on growing haha
