Hungrypotato123
started grow question 5y ago
Heat stressed plant leaves. Should I defoliate them from my auto during flower as they're blocking so much light from leaves which can actualy do something with it.

You should take care of the heat issue. The other leaves will have the same issue.

Bud rot?
Can leaves be an indicator of bud rot without seeing actual bud rot? Day 65, day 35 of flower. Looks bad...question really isn’t what I can do from here, I think I need to ride it out and harvest early. But is she a lost cause or likely candidate for bud rot?

Brown leaves - what am I doing wrong, folks?
They look yellow in the photo, under 250W of blue light, but they are brown. This starts at the tips of the large lower leaves and spreads quickly to the whole leaf. Also modest edge curl. What am I doing wrong here, folks?

Curled up leaves on day 7
I started a plant ten days ago and from the 7th day some leaves started curling upwards. I flushed the soil one day before planting the sprout and watered it again on day 9. I use the Fecida 600 lamp 16/8 day/night. Does someone know what could cause the curling of the leaves?

Any ideas on my lower leaves cupping? I'm thinking a root issue from overwatering. I last watered 6/11 and this started showing on 6/13 and has progressed. Soil is still moist and fungus gnats popped out of nowhere this week as well. Have SNS 203 for next watering

Yellowing, curling tips?
I'm in the middle of week seven and noticing significant yellowing, curling tips, especially on the top colas. Is this cause for concern and what could be causing? Feeding low-dose (1/4-1/2 tspn/gal) of dyna-gro bloom and the plant is growing in MG soil. I know, rookie mistake

Curled leaves and brown spots
Please help! My Acapulco Gold suddenly showed leaf symptoms today. Shouldnt be a lock out, I always water with drain and use lower doses than the BioBizz chart recommends. Used Molasses two days ago, could that be the cause? Its the only plant that shows this signs.

Infected Leaves. To remove part of the leaf or whole leaf?
I had had pests and disease issues my second grow of Autoflowers. I believe it was hemp russet mites which spread disease on parts of many of my leaves. Would it be alright to remove only the part of the leaf that was infected or to remove the entire leaf?

What’s Happening Here With My Leaves?
Not sure what’s going on here. It’s happening to 3 of my plants and I’m not sure whether its good or bad. I haven’t watered in 3 days so I don’t think it’s overwatering because it just happened today.
