leaf spots and curl

Hey, buddy! 👋 You're killing the plant with nutrient overdose, and on top of that, you're making it worse with unnecessary defoliations! 👆 Understand one rule - as much is below the surface, that's how much is above the surface! The more roots it has grown, the more it wants to grow greenery on top! This can be expressed in different proportions, but the idea is the same! 👆 The plant uses leaves as batteries for the leaf nodes and for future branches! Leaves are always necessary for the plant, as a natural reserve of essential elements and moisture! The plant always relies on having those leaves! You can remove them completely 3 days before harvest, but overall, that deficiency is very unnatural; the plant experiences such a strong shock that it can even stop emitting smell! The plant closes its pores with terpenes and tries not to breathe! Nature has designed it so that its smell attracts birds and predatory insects to fight off small pests, but if it senses too great a threat, the plant turns off the scent lure and stops smelling. There's logic everywhere, brother! This plant is too old to teach it how to develop properly! You can mess with it however you want; if it's mature, it will always show you its talent for survival, this plant is over 40,000 years old! 👆 After topping and trimming, your nitrogen levels spiked due to element imbalance from your training! You have elevated nitrogen in the tissues, and because of that, phosphorus deficiency is progressing! The leaves are deformed, like melted, with brown spots! Check your runoff ppm! You can't keep adding extra nitrogen until you've done a flush properly! 👆 Try to keep the Gro:Bloom additives in a 1:1 ratio, don't overfeed the plant; half the dose recommended by the fertilizer manufacturer is enough!!! 👌 In soil during the vegetative stage, before flowering, the acidity should be 6.2-6.3 pH! 👌 Good luck, buddy! ✊😇
