I'm finding this true. Been over 110 the last week. Ran out of useable sunlight I didn't have to monitor every couple hours. To go along with this conversation. I have auto seeds coming in tomorrow and a 4x2x6 tent coming in there next couple weeks. My question is I have about 200w of lighting, but only one fan. Would it more acceptable to plant with current lighting and upgrade climate control first and get more lights before bloom no or try to go for a bit better lighting first. The other option is to just waiting until everything is here.Spek made a pretty good point and i would expand it like this...nature does what it does...we can artificially create an environment. Either one has challenges.
If you go inside and outside you are combining those challenges. Growing has enough challenges that you will find it harder to manage imo.
The environment must be stable and in the appropriate ranges. This is most important because the environment creates success or failure. Temps, humidity and airflow must be "in range."I'm finding this true. Been over 110 the last week. Ran out of useable sunlight I didn't have to monitor every couple hours.

AppreciatedI'm a noob too, so take this with a grain of salt. But, my understanding of leaf health is that if the leaf is continuing to grow nice and green, then cutting the brown off is ok...once the leaf is to a certain size. As in, there's enough plant/ leaf material there to deal with the minor stress and open wounds you will be allowing access to your plant. While the plant is so small, I would guess that minimizing the stress it experiences would be the most important.
Once you start seeing more aggressive growth and she's definitely strong enough to fight off any parasites/ disease that might enter through those open wounds, clean up the tips. Or don't cut into the yellow part of the leaf, leave just a touch of brown as that material is already dead and should be protected from disease/parasites.
But, for now, I don't think that the brown on the tips hurt the plant at all.
Again, I'm new though. This comment is really to begin gathering feedback from a more experienced community on my comprehension of these things. btw... I'm in Vegas and am really interested in your experiences growing in the desert. Good luck!
