If your not getting enough good air flow through the plant it may be advisable to remove them lowest leaves touching the soil.

Now is the time to clean them up. You can take a few leaves off that cover bud sites and will help with air flow.

Hey mate, You can but they will come off on their own. I'd just leave them. It wont cause any harm. Mine actually came off today coincidentally!

Best way to tell when harvest ready. 2 were planted at same time but experience different major stresses and stunting. They seem to be growing at different sched as flowering is around week behind the other. Does early stress affect auto flower " clock "

Hello all, I am into organic or (natural at least) nutrients, I am wondering if there could be a 2 part resolution. Such as A- Fish Fertilizer 2-3-1 when veg and, B-liquid seaweed or seaweed powder 0-0-17 in flowering. And some of recharge. I don't want to buy colored H2O :)

This plant is behaving differently than my other plants (Northern Lights, and Somango XXL) in that it is stretching for a second time this late into flowering. I can notice it the most in the center colas, but also in the exterior ones. Is this normal? Does it want more light?
