Cut them off. No reason to keep them unless you want to invite some critters to munch on them.

Hi there I have looked through your diary. You have probably given nutes to early in a soil grow and to strong a dose. The leaves look like there touching the soil so I would pull them off. Make sure you alter the ph a little down to 6.2 then back up to 6.5. Also don't feed every watering otherwise your going to get terrible salt build ups. Hope rest of the grow goes fine.

Yellow bright new growth New leaves on the Candy Kush plant #1 are bright green/yellow. This seems to have started when increased biogrow from 2ml/l to 3ml/l. Iron, zinc or sulphur deficiency? Only give calmag on next feed? Might have measured pH before adding nutrients so Faber wrong pH?

Leaves yellowing These leaves are stressing me out. I’m not sure if I’m having a lockout or if I’m not feeding enough phosphorous. Either way, I’ve been using 3 ml/gal of tiger bloom, 3 ml/gal formulex, 3 ml/gal big bud & 1tbsp of molasses for feeding. What do I do ?

Yellowing and light green leaves Hello growers! My AK has been getting some yellow leaves, big fan leaves and small new leaves at the bottom, and looks less dark green. Is this a deficiency (looks like nitrogen but I don't want to give it even more nutrients) or is it just self defoliating? Any ideas?
