So my cat chewed a leaf off my plant this morning while she was getting some sun by the window... Will it be okay? she's already been a slow grower... should I cut off the entire chewed leaf?
Will this plant be okay?

Sure. You can take it right off. There are sufficient leaves on your girl for continued photosynthesis. In a few weeks you won't even be able to find where that leaf was.

alright... but is that better then leaving it? im trying to avoid more stress since shes been growing slowly already

My dog has removed a couple of rooted clones right out of the soil going after the little fan leaves. I've put them back in the pot and within a few days they continue on their journey. Those plants never went hermie on me ...
Removing one leaf won't shock it - but the choice is yours. You can totally remove it if you want and it won't hurt the plant. You can leave it if you want and that also won't hurt the plant.

Im just a little traumatized as I just went thru a batch of 3 seeds that all turned out to be male
now I got 3 more going but they're being slow and tha one was the best looking out of the 3 so far.. do you think it could benefit from removing the whole leaf? or could slow it down more?

I think the grow turned slow because i planted the seeds in the old soil from the male plants ( with leftover fertilizer etc). I'm using the same light I did for the last batch, a 600w (pulls less) LED in a 2x2 cab.. I transferred them into new fresh soil a few days ago and they been looking much better since, so I was about to start noticing if they'd start growing faster but now hopefully this wont slow her down again
this is what it looked like last Thursday, so it's def made good progress (it actually grew a lot now looking at it)
Plants not growing... (pics)
MY plant's are over a month old and they're just not growing. I can't figure out why. My setup is fine I used it for a first batch already where they got to flwer (turned out to be all male) and I started this second batch and here I am. First I thought it was the soil ( I started them in the...

My blurples are 600W as well and they will pull about 260 - 270 true wall watts. One of those blurples will veg a 2' x 2' space quite nicely.
I see from the other post that your LED has a deep blue tint - I wager that the BLOOM switch is off. I recommend that you flip both VEG and BLOOM switches to ON. That deep blue tint will go more pinkish and the red should help with elongation. Also recommend that you keep the light about 20" - 22" above the tops.

nice, I did bring the light down to 18" since that post and that's probably why it helped since then. I'll turn on the bloom switch. How many plants do you grow with that light? Do you top your plants? Should I be topping this one soon?

nice, when do you decide to top? early veg?

I topped before and never had problems with it, but Im debating if I should top this one as I'm starting to run out of weed and if this batch doesn't make it to flower I'll be dry for a while.. or if it delays too long.. do you think it'd be safer to just yield less and not top this one then start new seeds?

decided to take the risk and topped it, also going to try and clone it
