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

Sudden Leaf Yellowing – Lighting Issue or Something Else?Hello! Yesterday, I noticed the top leaves turning slightly yellow, but today it looks dramatic. Check the pictures—leaves are yellowing and drying out rapidly. It’s only affecting the central leaves, so I suspect a lighting issue, but I’d like to confirm before taking action.

Upper leaves are yellow and not smooth I noticed leaves on top are closing and today are yellowish. Older plant aren’t stretching more, I thought it’s too much light or too hot but it’s kinda weird because light are at 40cm from longer plant and 50 from smaller, temperature are max 26C. So, it’s normal?

Nitrogen deficit?The bigger plant is struggeling a bit again. After some talks and readings it could be a nitrogen deficit but am not really sure how if I should react to it, since the need of the plant should get less for nitrogen in the next weeks. Please read my journal for more information.

Brown spots on top leaves - nutrients, light or something else?She went into flower, now stretching. Set light to 100%, added Bio-Bizz Top-Max and Bio-Bloom (1ml/L each). 3 days later brown spots appeared on top fan leaves, very few also on lower fan leaves. I suspect this could be light burn or nutrient related. Any ideas? Pls help

Week 2: One of the plants still doesn't look good + other beginner questions :)Second week and one of the plants has weird spots + leaves curled. Not sure what to do. Do I overwater? Is it some kind of disease or deficiency? No idea. Also, when should I start feeding the plants? And how much water do I need at this point? 😥

Bottom leaves yellowish - why? And can I top?On both of my plants (C99 & S.A.D.) the bottom leaves are turning yellowish and I can't figure out why. I'd also like to top them this week (above 3rd node), but I'm hesitant because of the leaves. Any advice on what they may be missing, and whether I should wait with topping?
