maybe where bending isn't enough to avoid daily condensation where/if you have leaves physically overlapping each other. leaves do more than just absorb light. keep as many as you can.

I'd leave her as she is for now unless they are causing a high RH. Looks spread out enough to leave as many leaves as possible.

Big Cat Kush -
The Big Cat Kush has some very thick, small growth near the base (lots of small leaves). Never had this happen before. Is this normal for BC Kush? Should I thin it out?

Defoliating FastBuds Autos
Hey Auto Growers. I am wondering what you think about defoliating autos. Iāve had differing results and donāt want to stunt them. Mostly the AH & JH to let light in. Iāve tried tucking but they just pop out in the wind. If yes when is the best time. Thanks, Happy Growing š±

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?

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!
