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. 🤘😤

Sugar leaves turning white I am approaching end of flowering, it's 3 weeks remaining. One of the flowers on Laughing Buddha sugar leaves turn to white - first at the edges. I did cut them, should I worry? Or is it normal and genetics related? Pic with most leaves removed but I circled some with symptoms.

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!

Green house cheese 1 Rusty plant I've been doing well, but one plant doesn't like so much cal/mag I think. I gave 10 ml each 10 liter. Will stop giving calmag now and only water for a few days. Can anybody think a bit with me about whatsup with this plant? It's the most Sativa looking plant that doesn't like it

Yellow in the leaves, I've been feeding until runoff on a Sun - Tues - Thurs and just letting it sit in-between. Feeding with a 1.8 EC solution and my runoff starts at 800ppm and then drops down to 500 by the time it's finished. Increase nutes? nutes every day? do nothing?or???

Yellow Spots on Leafes Some leaves have developed yellow / light spots. I also have thrips in my tent, but I doubt they are the cause of these signs because they have been there for a year, and I have always been able to keep them under control and the spots they cause look diffrently. Ty for advise.

Exaggerated texture and discoloured leaves Hi Guys I’ve notice that some of my leaves are extremely rough/overly textured with slight discolouration, almost looks highlighted or over exposed in colour with some light yellow/ brownish visible.

Each plant seems to be suffering from some sort of deficiency/lockout. I thought the 4AM & 3BOG looked hungry but no improvement after 2 days. Sour Stompers still losing leaves but their buds are MUCH fatter and frosty than the other 2. Maybe just different flowering times.

Please check my latest photos above. Because of taco leaves/curled, I turned off the fan last night and also raised the LED to about 16cm above the plant. When I checked in the morning. All the leaves on both my plants was raised up and still had curled sides.
