Trim sparingly. You want your plant to suck out all the nutrients from the leaves connected to bud sites, when it stops up-taking them from the roots.

Any large fans that block sites I will take if I'm unable to tuck and hide them. Just don't do any massive defoliation this late in the game. 🤘😤

Noticing slight brown spotting on a couple leaves accompanied by the tiniest little bit of yellowing/tip burn on the very tip edge, any advice?Noticed today prior to feeding that i’ve started to get some slightly brown spots on 2-3 fan leaves and also noticed lots of tips starting to show the tiniest amount of burn on the tips. Dropped nutrients to about 80% dose and added some calmag. Any advice would be great.

Still to early to tell? Noticed yesterday and have slightly worsened today. Not sure the issue but potentially magnesium? Getting close to top dress also.Only on 1 of 3 plants so far. On older growth after getting dose of Recharge the other day. Maybe an N problem as I also use 484? Or mag? Using CalMag every other watering in RO at 150ppm as the soil has some cal and mag. Also getting close to top dress time maybe something else?

Early flower leaf oddity Noticed odd markings on leaves, some top or mid canopy some below. They vary also - from heat stress, shiny spots, residue from Insecticidal soap or wind burn in odd spots. I’m about 2 weeks in flowering. Temp was 27 degrees, had to defoliate massive fan leaves... see b4/after

Curiosity question: My tent shares space with this plant being grown in soil. The seed is the same. Germinated at the same time. Very few mistakes or problems with either plant. Both seem healthy. What does the color difference say to you?

Been struggling with leaf issues for weeks. Initially thought lockout due to N toxicity. Plants improved after flush in Week 7 but then promptly started worsening a few days ago. Is this a continuation of a lockout issue? Would you feed? Flush? Advice is welcome! 🙏
