I would say meh unless they are covering a bud site or you're dealing with humidity issues. Leaves are good for plants!

This is my first DWC cannabis grow and I'm not really sure how long to flush her for. Next week my plan is to change the water and PH it to 5.5 and obviously add no nutrients. I have read that with DWC you don't need to flush as long so I was thinking of waiting 1 full week?

I flipped these to flower 8 days ago. 2 days ago I gave them 1/2 strength feeding of G.O. Go Box according to their feed schedule. I noticed that the new growth seems more yellow and droopy. Also, for 3 weeks the NL plant (bottom right) is half green half yellow. Any ideas?
