Should I trim yellow fan leaves?

shiptonystarted grow question 3 years ago

would anyone bother trimming off the yellow fan leaves or just leave them? I have no issues with space or airflow - plus I kinda like the colours they have right now as they are getting near harvest time

Oh I certainly would... they're not contributing anything to the plant and it will allow more light into your lower bud sites.... GREAT looking grow!

Sure, take out all these yellow leaves, they already did what they could/should. More energy will be directed to flower, and more light penetration will impulse the flowering!

you dont have to but i personally pluck them off with the petioles as well. a single downward motion breaks it clean off from the mainstem. i do it because dead plant matter is a breeding ground for fungi and i dont risk it indoors.

Soft hanging yellow leaves, some with brown spots in the middle. Deficiency, Nutrient Burn or what could cause this ?Hey guys, I got a problem with two of my 4 plants. They started to develop yellow droopy and soft leaves that start to fall off on their own. I’m not sure if it’s a nutrient deficiency or blockout from ph or something else. I watered them only with water ph 6.5.

Lower leafs getting yellow tips and spots I just noticed that the lower leafs are dying, while other leafs are getting yellowish spots. Is this some kind of nutrient deficiency? The leaf with the yellow spots is near the air intake. They didn’t get any fertilizer except root juice since the soil is still somewhat fresh.

Yellowing leaves Lower leaves are turning yellow, these seem to be one that are hidden a bit from sight, so possibly not getting enough light, but it seems to be spreading, and one of them has fallen off. Is this some form of nutrient difficiency, or something simipler?

Yellowing, wilting, stunted growth Can anyone please help me identify whats wrong with them. I've done a flush, adjusted the lights, reduced the nutrient strength, I've pretty much done everything and still stunted growth and they are still looking weak and frail. I'm lost and I don't even know what's wrong.
