answered grow question 6y ago
perfectly normal. it has to do with the amount of light reaching the bottom of the plants. most growers prune the sucker branches and fan leaves at days 21 and day 42 of flower to allow light to penetrate through out the plant.

Is this septoria or alternaria? The plant is doing well, buds are not affected (at least not now) so I hope it’s septoria. Few weeks till flowering complete, do you think I can carry on with it? Please tell me it’s septoria and not alternaria. Thanks to anyone that will respond

What are this yellow spots? They are getting worse each day, and if they are on the edges the leaves start to break.

many problems with the leaves
the leaves have been turning yellow and falling faster and faster, especially those below; the upper ones curl and become burnt with dots and turn yellow should I try to put the lamp higher? (I haven't given fertilizers for a week)

Mottling shiny spots in leaves/ nitrogen claw
What is the cause of the mottling on these leaves is it some sort of toxicity? Please look at my last diary entry (week 4) for info on recent feeding.

Brigh little spots on bigger leaves
Hey guys, i noticed today that very small brighter spots have appeared on the bigger leaves. Is this something i should be worried about? Is it because of the 20hrs light schedule? Should i switch to 18hrs? Thanks 😨

Why do my plants only have that light greenish yellowish look at the top and why is one of my plants also having those sick leaves at the bottom?
2 of my 3 plants are a bit yellow-ish at the top since about a week. Plant 1 also had a couple of sick leaves at the bottom that I did remove. Those leaves had brown/dark spots, felt dry like paper, had very purple stems and did smell more like hay. More info in my report.

Am I right that the brown spots on one of the plants are an indication of calcium and/or magnesium deficiency? I ordered some CalMag Extra from Advanced Nutrients; should arrive soon. Would/should I apply this only one time or add to the regular feeding schedule?

Brown Spots on Leaves
I’m noticing some light brown spots on my leaves. After researching it seems that it was either 1) Manganese deficiency 2) calcium deficiency or 3) overwatering. I don’t think I’m overwatering. It could be the nutrients but would like input!

Sick plant, could be temp, nutes, too much water?
Leaf tips looking burnt and wilting in flower ... keeps getting worse no matter what. pH 6.8. Raised light. Too many nutes? but a couple days with water only and it's still getting worse. The other plant seems fine. The buds seem OK. Maybe heat? Soil is 69F. Overwater?
