Can I already cut off these leaves?
kiffgrasstarted grow question 4y 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

Anything unhealthy should be removed to avoid spreading desise and waisting plants energy trying to fix it

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.

Hello weed doctors, I need help identifying the problem and gathering advice how to enhance my second grow. It's only day 29 and my girls are sick, whI'm in biobizz lightmix. Started biogrow on D24, the dose was 50% in 400ml water. Until D24 only rootjuice. Yesterday gave 1400ml each, with 100% biogrow, pH6.4 EC 1.1. My water is hard pH7.7 EC0.8, so I wasn't adding calmag yet. There was 400ml runoff EC 1.9 - why? What do I do?

Why does this happen sometimes in late growth?
There are no abnormalities in ph or EC.
It was fixed after flowering.

Перелив? Кто думает, что кокос невозможно залить посмотрите на это!Watering 1.5-2.5L every other day, drainage is about 0.5L, using Bagpot containers. I think the circulation is all good since the humidity dropped to 35% at 25° (light ~1000W) and considering that the outdoor humidity is 50°, so there’s no steam room effect. Airflow from a 15W fan.

Sickly start to hydro growI don't think this seedling looks good. It's been like this 2 days (pics above) with a slightly wilty look and sick looking leaves. pH is 5.9. Weak nutrient solution above flushes the rockwool for 30 minutes every 3 hours. Rockwool never gets fully dry. What's wrong?

Leaves bloated, wavy and clawing.My Mimosa Cake is growing OK, about the same of the other 3 autos I'm growin.
Nonetheless her leaves are a bit bloated, wavy and clawing. I'm 100% it's not overwatering and I haven't feed her yet, and since she's on BIOBizz Light Mix I doubt it's nitrogen toxicity.
Any ideas?!TIA5y ago

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?
