NG420started grow question 4y 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.

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?

Seltsame Färbung einiger Blätter Hallo zusammen! Ich beobachte seit einiger Zeit eine recht eigenartige Färbung einiger weniger Blätter an meiner fetten Banane. Die Musterung beschränkt sich ausschließlich auf diese Bereiche, die Pflanze entwickelt sich sehr gut und zeigt keinerlei Mangelerscheinungen.

Random Stoned Thoughts!!!!!Here is one of the 1st leaves from the GSCE's life "Scars" and all. Has anyone thought about or actually purposefully let some of the 1st growth grow til harvest as kind of a timeline to look back and see what the plant has eventually overcome? Thanks for feeding my high thoughts

I have a cool mist humidifier in my tent, using RO water. Two of my plants that are close to the humidifier have started to get leaves with rust colored spots and yellowing. The left two are fine. Any ideas? The only difference is the mist may have been spraying on the first two.

I believe I fixed my nute lockout a couple of weeks ago. But since flowering has started I’ve been getting a deficiency on the older leaves from the bottom moving to the top. I’m wondering if this is A nitrogen deficiency as I’ve backed off on the nitrogen since I’ve switched to flowering nutes. I’m not really sure how to proceed or if I’m even right.

Leaf damage There is damage on the leaf in the picture. I haven't seen any signs of pests besides a lone gnat. It could be from lst but it is at the very top of the plant and can't see a reason why it would've gotten damaged. Anyone have an idea what it could be?
