Excess leaves!! Can I chop?
Samanistarted grow question 5y ago
I’m currently in week 5, slowly starting the flowering stage. Our plant has a lot of leaves and I’m not too sure if I can remove some as it’s taking up too much space from my grow room which is big enough to store a 25L pot. Could you please assist me with this.

I wouldn’t cut leaves during flowering. The more leaves, the more light it can absorb, the more it can absorb, the more bud.

You can remove fan leaves that are blocking light to lower branchs / bud sites. If you are growing autoflower then don't over do because they short life time gives them less times to recover from an excessiv defoliation

What do you mean by removing the shaded ones? I have bigger leaves and some new leaves which have grown, can I cut them too?

You can safely remove leaves that are shaded by others above them

Small white-yellow spotsToday I woke up to a terrible news. One of the leaves of one of my American Pie has small whithe-yellow dots. I can't see any eggs and there are no holes yet. I've been doing some research but I haven't found answers yet. What may it be? What can I do to prevent a bigger problem?

Slow Growth and Leaf IssuesTransplanted outdoors over a week ago and have noticed slow growth and new leaves have little holes and yellow spots on them. I've checked for bugs but can't see anything. Could this be nutrient-related? Or shock? Ph levels? Too rich soil? Any help is appreciated. Cheers.

Week 1 Day 5 picture-I'm concerned about the leaves praying to the sun gods and slight yellowing. What's happening here?
Is it due to low humidity and possibly light burn. Humidifier has been added to the tent and light distance increase to 20 inches as a precaution 😉Week 1

Pitted leavesHi I have a problem on three of my four plants. In practice the leaves are starting to be pierced I don't know if it is for the wrong mix of neem + soap that I gave a few days ago by mistake or some midges that have popped and that I'm trying to exterminate.

I sprayed them with black soap, it seems to slow down damages on one of them, but the other plant is getting worse.

From previous post just some more infon on what I feed and how, on a 12So I use 5 ML per gallon of fox farm Grow Big Liquid Plant Food, And 5 ML Per Gallon Of Fox Farm Buds And Blooms Fertilizer.

Anyone experienced leaf burn from a high intensity LED? I think that's what has happened to a few of the plants and I hope I caught it in time but the yellowing leaves don't seem to be getting any greener. They are starting to get a few random rust/dark spots on affected leavesWeek 8

Leaves on one side are dying but don't feel crunchy.Due to slight nutrient burn problems I've given this plant less nutrients than usual.
But last week the leaves on one side of the plant were hanging and dying off.
They don'y feel crunchy and don't break off when you touch them. But they're thin.
