Should I remove these leaves? Only the ones with the worst signs of the Deficiency?

Basically I’m going throw a calcium deficiency in week 7 of flower, feel like I’ve already fixed the issue by flushing with pH balanced water and reading the right nutes to the medium. Overall should I trim these fan leaves with deficiencies? And does my plant look good?

The really bad ones, that look like they are dying back yeah, but if they just a bit yellow ish then leave em a bit longer. Plants do store nutes in leaves too, and as they die back the plant takes the nutes back and puts em to use, say into building buds. So I like to leave the leaves on as long as possible, but the second they look like they may be actually dying and at risk of picking up mold - I snip em off.

No need to trim them, just remove them when they finally go yellow. Until then they are still making energy for your plant to use for making those buds. Just remember, less leaves = less energy being made = less growth. It really is that simple! Hope this helps, Organoman.

I would trim a few out for better air and light. And add a little more potassium as well to feed. Would be what I would do. 🌱👍

You dont have to until they shrivel up and turn brown. The plant will pull all of the nutrients out of them as they die. Defoliation is only needed to open light to budsites or increase airflow
