is it possible to cut the little round leaves?

Hey fellow stoners, I was just wanting to know if it was possible to cut the first 2 little round leaves you get from a seedling? and if they served any purpose after the first 5 days. I only ask because one of my seedlings round leafs has died oddly and i was just gonna clip them both off. Ill have a pic soon.

If it's already dead sure, cut it off with something sterile.

If it's a living leaf it would be best to leave it on at this point in the plants life, it need as much are to absorb as much light as it possible can to grow.

This coming from the stoner who cut a bunch of leaves off of healthy plants :D


But +1! ;)

ok so leave them on but cut the one thats dead off? ......i cant tell if that one guy was nay saying what you were telling me or not lol ,....anyways thanx for the reply.

Also since that one round leaf is dead does that mean i caused stress on the seedling at an early age and now its going to possible be hermaphro plant?

KISS*

*Keep it simple stupid

dont start pulling off leaves cus ur bored..

if u leave a plant to grow 100% untouched it will do just fine!

if it needs to get rid of leaves it will kill them and drop them :)


yes u CAN take off leave that are dead / close to dead but only 5 days old? no way dude dont take them off...

Odds are yes, you caused a little bit of stress and the plant drained one cotyledon (yolk) for food/energy. As for it being hermaphrodite, I doubt it, very much so.

My system is nowhere near light-proof. It gets about 1/8th full moon light according to my measurements, and it never interfered with flowering or sex.

There's a certain limit, it seems, to how much light will trigger a reversal of flowering or change of sex. Given a natural plant will experience two full moons at least during flowering, it makes sense that less than that amount would not cause any damage. Even pinholes should not cause issue unless the intruding light source is that intense.

Awesome so ill just leave her<--- (hopefully) alone,......thanx for the replies.^^

YES, just ignore it, it is normal. Do not cut and possibly introduce illness. Be STRONG and have patience

I agree with Washougal. No need to risk disease or stress. Those little round leaves are food for the plant when it is very young. It was probably hungry...
