Can I already cut off these leaves?
kiffgrasstarted grow question 3 years ago
Ho guys,
these old leaves obviously dont look healthy at all. Can or even should I cut them? The problem is that I cont have any experience with cutting leaves so I dont know if I should do this and how I should do it.

Actually, if this were my grow, they'd be gone... let the plant concentrate on leaves further up the stem rather than the little, beginner leaves! Just take a sharp pair of scissors that have been cleaned with rubbing alcohol and snip them close to the main stem and throw them away. They don't add much to the photosynthesis and rob the other parts of the plant of energy... and for what?!
I guess MY question is why they are showing the symptoms they are... did you have a nitrogen deficiency that you cleared up? If these leaves are on the grow you're running a diary on, just get rid of them - the plants look magnificent and these little guys are not needed...
Good luck!

Leaves are silos of energy for the plant. Cut them when they are crispy

The guys are right , but i cut some leaves sometimes and nothing gonna happen , as long as your plant is not sick.
You can cut if you think you have to , but remember , the more leaves the plant got the the better it can carry out photosynthesis.

Wilting leaves and copper spots? Save Me!These copper spots started appearing around 2021-01-28, and the wilting leaves started 2021-01-29. The newest additions to the environment were the much stronger MarsHydro 300w light. I've had to water more often because it dries out pretty quick with the rampant heat. what next?Leaves. Wilting

Tip curling on new growthMy largest plant has a lot of curling on the new growth. I have never given any nitrogen nutrients other than very little cal mag with an insignificant amount. I am using natures care mg soil so I don’t know if that’s it but some of the older leaves even have curled edges.Leaves. Wilting

Why have the leaves on my plant turned pale and crispy?4 weeks into veg with auto and all of the leaves (including new growth) have turned very pale and dry, starting at the tips and receding rapidly.
I’ve used the same two part nutrient solution in the same quantities as I did with the previous same auto, so Disease maybe?Leaves. Curl up
