XxBILLZAxX
started 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.

Need help diagnosing leaf loss issues with the G13 Haze strain (problem has been over 5 weeks now). The one in the smallest pot (7L) has lost a majority of its leaves. The leaves start yellowing and turning brown then crispy. They have white speckles on them like salt.

Fertiliser burn
A few leaves of my bush have this little brown spots on them, I googled this and made a conclusion that it is a fertiliser burn. I assume it was done with “Root booster”. Can I continue using vegetation fertiliser? Do I need to remove damaged leaves? Any other actions needed?

Light patches on leaves, from middle specifically
Light patches/spots on leaves, as pictured. Occurring on both plants :(( I've discovered what I think are fungal gnats today (not a huge infestation thank god haha), could it be a symptom of those? Or is this a known deficiency/burn? Thank you!

Unbalanced PH Water on Leaves
I just sprayed my plants with an IPM solution but forgot to PH balance my water…I went back and drenched the leaves again with plain ph balanced water to get rid of the ph unbalanced water. Is this ok or did I make a major mistake? I took photos of the ingredients I used.
