Defoliate dead leaves during early flowering?
Burmeseanswered grow question 4 years ago
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,

Brown/yellow/purple leaves inThis started out as brown spots on big fan leaves and has turned into what you see on the pictures. I've been ignoring the discoloration until I was greeted by some wilted, dead leaves on plant #2 today.
I'm not worried at this point, just really want to know what's happening

Yellow sugar leavesI am waiting for a low-THC strain to develop amber trichomes and I found two buds with these yellow sugar leaves. There is no bud rot, should I wait longer to harvest? Also, do CBD strains develop amber trichomes, or should I harvest now? Additional details available in growdiary

Fatal ovewatering? Will she survive?Ugh! One of my two plants Is dying. I suspect overwatering associated with some other issue I can't spot properly. 58 days flowering. It was my first flushing session, not a good start.
Her sister has no problem. Poked holes in the dirt, raised temp, maxed the fans. What else?

Yellowing and lightening of leavesMy back-left plant started to slightly yellow on me from the bottom up. Front-left is also lighter than the rest. Is this a feeding issue? Do they need more nitrogen or did I overwater them? Appreciate your answers :)

Slight lightburn?First pair leaves on left plant turn slightly lighter, first sign of yellowing a bit. Also I think they are a bit in a V/praying shape.
2 full weeks old under 75% of 200W leds about +-45cm. Should I dim them a bit more/hang higher?
Other suggestions maybe?

Yellow blemishes1 week old seedling is starting to develop yellow blemishes on initial leaves. Soil is biobizz lightmix, PH 6.2 from bottled water with no nutes, 150w led light is at 50% and 25-30cm distance. Is it a cal-mag deficiency, light burn, genetics, or just too soon to worry?
