Old growth turning yellow and limp
Sup3rNov4started grow question 4 years ago
Hey Farmers. A quick question for my current diary. I'm currently at the start of week 8, 3 weeks into flower leaving 2 - 3 weeks left until harvest my query is the bottom fan leaves are turning yellow and limp. I think this is normal this far into flower. should I remove them?

yes this process is normal in a plants life, the plant using the energy up in these leaves, in turn they turn yellow and start to die off. yes you can pick them off as they are no use to the plant any more, you are right on track and soon you will be on track to your harvest. happy growing you did a great job on this one.

It’s normal, the plants eats the stored nutrient into the lower fan leaves , leave them on until they are fully dead.
Can’t see nothing in your diary pictur about that but if u have only others 3 weeks of flowering there is no problem only nature ✌️🏽 Hope to be clear and useful

The tips of the leaves are yellow and there are lighter green stripes on the leaves themselves.
