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. 🤘😤

I'm thinking of cal-mag def, mixed with other trace elements such as Mn, now followed with phosphorus (red-purplish stems), maybe even potassium? combined with too small pot (somekind of root problem?), more info in my last diary log. tnx community!

Brown spots - can you tell what that is?
Brow spots appeared on middle to top leaves (lower leaves are perfectly fine). I'm using a common soil "ready to use" from a gardening supply store + Earthworm Humus + some inert substrate, and didn't add any veg fert Can you tell me what it might be happening and how to fix it?

Does yellow leaves with red tips mean my plants need more nutrients or less? Jacks 3 2 1 on Auto
Week 8 (flower) top leaf tips are reddish and the leaves are more yellow than green. Does this mean that my plants need more nutrition? I am using Jacks 3 2 1 for two autos and using it at 65% strength (650PPM / 1.2EC). Should I goto 100% at 990PPM / 1.9EC or 50% to 550PPM/1EC

Rust and a few claws on leaves, thick dark green leaves
Best way to easily solve a potassium problem, I think 🤔, also some leaves getting claws, it didn't get overwatered So it must be the soil which is too rich? It only happening with 1 out of 7 plants.

Nutrient burnt leave removal question.
Should I remove all the burnt leaves? Worst ones are 25% burnt. Some just speckled throughout. Do the flowers still need exposure to the sun? Or will the leaves exposed to sunlight keep the buds growing? Can cutting the burnt leaves cause enough stress to hermie or stunt growth?

Any reason to be worried? I have 7 plants going, 5 on the same feed. Only 2 plants are doing this but they are on different feeds. One has been mostly water and the other has been on the same feed as the rest but they are all fine.

Do these random spots mean nutrient burn/deficiency, or is this normal?
I have been feeding my plants 1/2 strength FF once weekly since week 3. The plants seem to be doing well. One has twisted leaves but seems healthy. But the plants are displaying random spots of yellowing. Is this normal or indicative of some kind of nute issue?
