Topping problem

XxBILLZAxXstarted grow question 6y ago

Hi growers, Decided to top one of the plants and a couple of leaves have grown with snip marks. Keep or cut? Both germinated at the same time & maintained pretty much the same growing technique. Thanks :)

This is common. Treat them like normal leaves. Don't cut them for looking funny, only cut if for a normal reason. Good work!

Keep, they still photosynthesize and provide food for the plant.

Leaf Septoria?Can almost see the end in sight on my first grow, and I think I have a problem. Noticed a few lower leaves weeks back with spots, so I removed them and kept cleaning the bottom of the tent, but I think it’s spreading. Is this bad enough to worry about end result?

Heat stress? Light stress? Nute burn?Hi y’all Since my girl started to flower the top leaves near bud sites have this weird cupping downwards look. I doubt it might be a nute burn since I already gave her a good flush. I think the heat might be the main issue (86-87degrees during day). What do u think? Day38autoflwr

Orange spots?!Can anyone tell me what these orange spots are on my THC Bomb autoflower? They're only on one leaf (the very first one) - the plant has since grown and there's no further sign of it... should I worry? Grow medium is ProMix, using Fox Farm Grow Big (lightly so far).

Trying to fix my plant after faulty pH meter...Hey guys what do I think I should do.. so I had a pH problem and first I tried to fix my old one but it still didn't work so I might have given her a messed up ph again. So now I got a completely new one. What should I do? Give the girl a flush or some nutes to fix this?

I read around that a plant if sent into bloom and then when it was re-planted it could have lower yields ... but only if it continues to grow with a small leaf ... like this plant .. which has been growing for 1 month with only a leaf with 1 tip .... now it is returning to 3 ..5 -7 ... I wait until a good size and we are there ?? .. or do you think it is not to be cultivated and is it to be thrown away? will have lost power? or this is similar to a moster cropping .... technique which consists in cutting cuttings from a mother plant just entered into bloom? is similar ? no ?
