Hi there, You should only defoliate if there is a good reason.Like do some defoliation to lower down tent humidity,to make a good air flow if too bushy.Defoliate some leaves If they are damaged or shaded below the canopy.May be some lollipopping if there are too many pop corn buds underneath.Other than those, I wouldn’t do.Happy growing... ✌️

Hi, Personally, I remove those leaves. The plant is using the sugars from the dying leaf as food so some people leave them on. I prefer to have increased air flow and light penetration as I am not worried about the plants getting enough food. They always have acess to nutrients and can make the sugars when they need. Hope this helps,

😀This is my 1st time at growing Autos. I've done photo period's before. I'm growing in big air pots with soil and using the Bio Biz range & Cal Mag. I see most of you guys use many different combinations of nute's. Any tips would be really appreciated. Sauce

Many of my plant's fan leaves, especially lower down in the plant are turning yellow. Is this normal? I think I'm on my last couple of weeks for flowering, so I'm not sure if it's just part of the process towards the end. Should I remove them, or just leave them there?

Calcium Def/Wilting or other issue?So after 24 hours of feeding it CM Plus it doesn’t look any better. I’m hoping there is not another underlying issue. Environment remains the same. Pics are 24 hours apart. Or will it take a few days + before seeing improvements?

Seem to be having overwatering issues - moving forward I’ll definitely wait a little longer before adding more water, but anything that I can do at this point to try and improve things? Or is it just a wait it out scenario? Any insight would be appreciated.

I am on day 53, I know it’s normal for plants to yellow later in flower, mine turn yellow very early like week 7. Some people way later and theirs are still very green. I recalibrated my ph pen week 6. Happened in under feeding too. Makes bud look awful. What am I doing wrong??

Leaves are turning yellow from the bottom up and I'm not sure if it's the natural death of unessery lower leaves or a nitrogen deficiency. It's not a ph problem. Thoughts?

Nutrient Burn, Leaf Septoria, Nutrient Deficiency? Or something else?I have been having issues with the Purple Haze. I've tried adjusting the Temperatures, adding additional Cal-Mag, changing lumen intensity etc. I believe this may be nutrient burn? Added an old image of leaf before mainlining, the plant is 1 week old after mainlining was done.
