Defoliation

NG420started grow question 4 years ago

So, I've read this and that, the other and another, so I wonder what do you think guys? My autos just got to 8th week today, I have some yellow leaves in the lower nodes and some good leaves that prevent the light from going to the lower branches Thanks in advance!

If its healthy and growing fast, there's no problem with removing a few leaves here and there, just don't over do it👍🌱

@Elgar I don't know if I should reply here, but my problem isn't the stress, I've read that in late flowering plant takes nutes from from leaves and not from soil

Just defoliate. Don’t worry for the stress, autos are stronger nowdays. Others top them, so you’ll be fine. It’s important to chop the yellow leaves and some big fan leaves. Just remember to chop up to ten leaves each time.

Small marks on leaves a concern?I noticed only a couple leaves out of a 4x4 gg4 grow show weird marks. Just wondering if it's cause for concern since it's my first grow. Otherwise they appear to be perfectly healthy, growing great and praying going on 4 weeks into flower.

Leaf stems change color Greetings, dear Growmies! Growing NL auto by Sensi On 2 of 3 plants the petiole (leaf stem) turned red on upper (facing the light) side. The bottom side is green. Is it a sign of any deficiency or disease? Couldn't find on the web.

Leaves darkening after flipping to flowering nutes. D55 Auto.She seems to have gotten a much darker green over the last week or so and leaves have begun to take on a different feel. Assume this is just part of entering full flower, but given it seemed to coincide with switching to flower nutes I just wanted to make sure its not a toxicity.

From previous post just some more infon on what I feed and how, on a 12 So I use 5 ML per gallon of fox farm Grow Big Liquid Plant Food, And 5 ML Per Gallon Of Fox Farm Buds And Blooms Fertilizer. I'm barely staring to Introduce Cal-Mag so I don't think the Cal-Mag is causing the issue, I water every 2-3 Days. Temp is Right Around 80 during the day 7

Same Strain - different coloration?Notice how #1 has a bit of a darker color outline around the fan leaves while Plant #2 does not have that. What causes that? Should be the same strain on both plants.

Which deficiency?So I've asked before if it was a magnesium deficiency on the GC and got confirmation based on the early pic, but now I'm starting to wonder if it is? Buds don't seem to fatten up either. Maybe calcium or potassium? Lights too strong? Overfed? Shouldn't have given Vega just flower

I noticed that the lower 2 leaves are yellowing and I think that are a little crispy. I topped the plant at the beginning of the week ago and I removed the first pair of leaves three days later ( yesterday). Do you think is this a problem? What can I do? Thank you. Peace

Is this pH related?Hello, mates! Anyone knows what this could be? Searching I found that it could be pH related. I use pH controller from ferts (pH perfect from advanced nutrients) since the beginning, so I think it's odd that it could be a pH issue. p.s. 3.5 weeks of flowering Thanks 🙏 🙏

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?
