problems with low leaves
Grrrowerstarted grow question 5y ago
in the lower part of the plant some leaves are yellowing, others are drying out and even detaching.
can it be due to the fact that since flushing (a week ago) I have not given anything to the plant anymore? I hope this does not compromise flowering

The lower leaves will always die off first. Its normal. They don't recieve much light anymore but if its happening aggresively and to lots of leaves, the plant is searching for nitrogen and can't find it in the soil. 🌱👍

This is your plant ridding it's self of useless leaves.. self pruning.. nothing to be afraid of and is quite normal! Happy growing!

yellow/copper appearance in some leaves after first run off wateringhi! after the first run off watering the girls seemed alright, sturdy and firm but some of the leaves (one leaf, 3 plants currently) experienced copper/yellow/orange tints .
this is only on old leaves so looks like mobile nutrients.
could this be cal-mag issues?4y ago

Why are there soon many brown spots all of a sudden in WK 7?I'm entering Wk 7 and the same lady is hurting again. She's been feeding heavy for last few weeks and doing great. So, I gave a light water/microbes dose w/can and Epson. Now I think its potassium or something else entirely... Brown spotting, yellow, crispy? Thoughts?6y ago

Discoloration on new growthBoth of the Sunset plants are showing some discoloration on new growth, one worse than the other. I've been watering very little and infrequently per previous feedback. Wonder if it's a nutrient deficiency. Any thoughts?Week 4
