Shall i cut the bottom leaves and stem?
TeesTreesstarted grow question 2 years ago
Ive noticed today that the bottom leaves started to wilt and look kinda dead. Shall i cut them off at the stem and allow the rest of the plant to grow. I dont refer to colour much as im colourblind but i can see there lighter, very light green or yellow.

There's this pruning method called lollipopping that works wonders with cannabis plants!
You take off any growth that doesn't get good light. Shade leaves and even some small off-shoot branches might need to be removed. But, don't worry. It will help your plant grow faster and develop new bud nodes in better places.
Also, another good practice to get in the habit of, in my opinion, is removing shade leaves that cover bud sites. This will also encourage growth in the right places.

High,
Yes you can cut the lowest 30% from your plant.
The reason why is that these leaves do not get enough light from your lamp and the buds will never develop into fat ones. You want the plant to focus on the big fat ones at the top!
Happy Growing! 😋

If its the leaves not getting light than that's pretty normal I'd say. Plant will drain it and it will drop off by itself, or cut it.

There's nothing wrong with trimming off those lower leaves... it will actually help the plant put more of its energy into the rest of the growth and the buds...
Good luck!

Leaves point down/slow growth/ maybe rootbound or root rot? Did I fuck up transplanting too soon?I'm on the 3 week of the grow. The leaves started pointing down and they are growing very slowly. Since I have seen the roots on the bottom of the vase early on I thought the problem was rootbound so I transplanted them. But they are very small. Did I do wrong? Signs of root rot?

Older leaves are yellowing, brown/red rusty spots, dying tissue, red stems.Older leaves have brown/red rusty spots and looks like dying tissue in between the veins.
Burnt tips, and yellowing leaves.
The soil was really dry and my PH meter was 0.4 too high.
I gave each plant 3L of water with EC: 0.0 PH: 6.4 to check runoff.
Runoff was PH: 6.1 EC: 0.8

Moin, bei meiner Größen Pflanze fangen die Blätter an von außen gelb zu werden und braune Punkte zu bekommen. Ist das ein Zeichen von einer überdüngerung? Alle anderen Pflanzen haben dies nicht. Oder zu wenig?

What's the problem?Hi guys, basically for the last few days the problem hasn't varied too much but I can't figure out if it's my light or if it's coming from somewhere else. Some of my leaves are curling with stains either on the leaf or like a burn on the tips.
