I personally give them a lil tug. If they pop off then take um. If it feels like you have to force or cut it off. Leave it till it's ready! 🤘😤

if they are 50% yellow than yes because it takes some nutrients from the soil waisting it...if you take them off the plant will grow better

possible deficiency?Please help. Noticed some yellow leaves, some misshaped, fallen off. Should I water to correct deficiency or wait for normal watering cycle? I watered 24hr ago but starved them for 4 days prior thinking i had fungus gnats. Temp dropped to 15c usually 25.

Anyone experienced leaf burn from a high intensity LED? I think that's what has happened to a few of the plants and I hope I caught it in time but the yellowing leaves don't seem to be getting any greener. They are starting to get a few random rust/dark spots on affected leavesWeek 8

Discoloured main leafsSo in three of my pictures I show leafs growing directly from the main stem. They are discoloured and have dark and brittle spots on them. I haven't seen that in any plants from the past jet and the rest of the leafs look fine. Does anyone have an ideal what that means? Thanks! �Week 9

There seems to be some paleness/yellowing on the upper growth. Upper leaf tips are slightly curling upwards and show some dark purple color. Last week runoff PPM was hovering around 1150-1250, so I'm dialing it down closer to 1000 ppm this week. Too much nutes or light intensity?Week 9

Do I have pests?I’m growing a Zkittlez alongside an OG and Gelato. Some strange holes appeared on the Zkittlez 4 days ago. I don’t see any evidence of pests other than the holes. Does anyone recognize this or have any suggestions for fixing the problem? No damage on the other plants. Thank you.Leaves. Other
