Yellowing leaves.

Yooo! I have a few lower leaves starting to yellow I’m pretty sure its because the plant has switched all the energy to bud production so my question is, is it ok to defoliate the yellowing leaves at this point?

Yes. Fade is natural. Take em off as they yellow. I was hella worried too... When it came time to trim there was still SO many leaves. this late in the grow its mostly bud production and even alot of yellow leaves are pretty fine. At least thats what I've learned.🙌

I would recommend looking into defoliation for cannabis plants online. Some do it, some dont and both have their advantages/disadvantages, in my opinion. Personally I defoliate quite heavily as I believe they dont help the plant much after they begin to droop and yellow. The plant will drain the nutrients from the leaf but with plenty of nutrients readily avaible to my plants, I prefer to remove them to give the plants room to breath. It will also encourage more top growth which I believe pushes the plant to develop a larger footprint. This is a highly controversial topic so i recomend thorough research. Happy growing

Hi friend,For me, I will only take off if the leaf becomes completely yellow or wait until they fall off by themselves.Like u said let the plant use the energy.Happy growing... ✌️
