16017656098053117810740418404116.jpghey guys, realized i haven't been on here in awhile and i needed some help anyway so i figured id ask. Ive been growing this one for about 2-3 months in my fridge-turned-growroom with proper lighting and humidity, i lined the walls with tinfoil and also inserted a green LED strip ( nothing wrong has come from that so far btw ) . question one is why are my leaves looking as though theyve been burnt? Or eaten? Question two is why have those smaller nodes and leaves on the bottom been growing so compactly? Should i try to get them to lengthen? If so, how?

check underneath your leaves for bugs or eggs of bugs. You'll need to look close, using a magnifier of some kind even to be sure you dont have bugs or larva eating the leaves.

Could also be heat spots from the crinkles in the tin foil, or maybe splattered nutrient solution on the leaves that created a heat spot... something along those lines.

As for why the growth is so compact, it just looks like a lanky plant thats flowering at a pretty young age. She wasn't given the time to have internodal growth prior to flowering, so all your flowers are growing compactly against the main stem, instead of on one of many side branches you'd usually see on a plant that had longer vegetative growth cycles.

Yeah, the growth isnt too small of a space but im worried about vegging it for too long then sending it into flower then it gets too big. Thanks for the tinfoil bit ill remove it for awhile and see if that changes anything, as for the bug thing, i already checked and couldnt find anything, even with a magnifying glass. Every now and then a moth might get into the space somehow i dont think they eat cannabis.

yellow sticky traps help a ton for me too if I ever am concerned. If I see leaves damaged like urs sometimes ill brush some diatomaceous earth under the effected leaves. rub my fingers gently under each leaf effected it hopefully crushing whatever is eating my dank. The DE stays on for a while until I choose to brush it off or if I'm foliar feeding last min.

Just did this yesterday in the garage spot and found a couple tiny clear caterpillars I have never seen before :eyesmoke:

Heat+Low humidity+High wind can dry out your leaves.
