First Grow

That look like root bound issues... They need bigger containers and start ur feed off at half strength they should bounce back in a wk

Hi buddy, The time and energy the plant would lose rejecting those leaves is the time you're saving by removing them. Lot's of friends of mine tend to have superstitions like that "letting it fall on their own" is better... This might not be rocket science but still science so don't be afraid and don't be lazy like my friends ;)

That should work just fine for you.

That's a good healthy plant and its over growing it container is all. I've had some plants do this as well to me. Mine where closer to harvest so I left them. Your previous solution of adding a new layer was the right one. You have two options that I can see. 1) Add in some more medium, maybe 1/4"-1/2" the pot seems to be able to handle it or 2) Transplant into a bigger pot, it's still in veg and not yet switched to flower so it will be a easy transition. option 2 is probably the better one. That plant is going to yield massive buds I bet, take a few clones maybe it will be a winner. Good luck

it is hard to tell but that last pic I am leaning towards male but not 100% certain yet. In good news they can not pollinate any of your other plants until they mature and release their pollen into the environment. You will be able to stop them long before they have a chance to do that. Are your seeds regular or feminized? I would contact seedsman and let them know if they where to be feminized and get some money back. Your grow has been looking real proper and the plants are beauties. I'm hoping they turn female for you, only time will tell. Best Of Luck and Happy Growing!
