answered grow question 5y 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.

A bunch of different leaf symptoms appeared over just a few hours, can you spot the issue in my detailed diaries and solve the mystery?
Everything was well, until over just a few hours they developed all kinds of symptoms. I have 2 diaries here for the grow, the 2 called “Grow #2” and I am very detailed about what has been done day to day. So please have a look and see if you know what might be happening

Weird leaves
The leaves of my plant look strange, I'm not sure if it's CalMag or something else. I recently overfertilized the plant a little..... I am also fighting tripes on the plant at the moment Could it also be the PH value? Thank you :)

What is causing this?
What is causing this? It only seems to be on the older leaves and only on this plant. They’re all being fed the exact same.

yellow spots on upper leaves, towards the end of flowering, I grow in a Coco ,flowering 8/10
This is my second attempt at cocus I work with Plagron nutrient solutions(Coco Nutrient) I follow the table, there were no problems on my first try.. should i stop nutrients? I always mix the water in a bucket, so I can't spoil it either, because most of the plants are healthy, ph 5.5 is always between 5-7!

Leaf Spots, weak color, and leaf ripple
Please help me identify possible causes of this: small spots on leaves, minor color fade (not burn) along edges, and strange 'ripple' effect. A user commented that he thought my plants looked deficient but hasn't elaborated further yet. What might this be? Multiple issues?

White snipes on leaves... [ MAYBE THRIPS? SHOULD I USE POTASIUM SOAP? ]
Hey guys! Do you think these are thrips? The leaves have these white snipes already since some days ago. Also, If you look carefully, there are micro white things on some parts in the leaves that could be the thrips themselves. I'm thinking of adding potasium soap for this.

Been discovering these little burns and holes on all the plants, Pic 2, 3 and 4. I'm assuming the burns are the precursor to the holes but I'm unsure, maybe they're not related. Any clues as to what this is. I want to stop it ASAP Rocky

Slight discoloration in the leaves
The leaves are starting to get slightly discolored on the edges, what could be causing this? Could it be the white flies? Or could it be too many nutrients? I am giving the plant a bit of Canna A and B, although it's meant for hydroponic, it's all I have at the moment.

Plant issues... How long to harvest?
Could someone please look at my (only) diary and give me an estimate on when harvest might be? I have microscope pictures up . I think I see cloudy trichomes with the possibility of a few amber. Maybe ready now? Not sure but hope to harvest before plant gets much worse. Thanks!

I found a few holes that looked like a Caterpillar was eating my plant but I haven't found any pests. Perhaps a fungus??? Anyone know what this is due to? I sprayed bubba with neem oil just in case...haven't found anything since.
