Remove dying leafs or not ?

electabruce420started grow question 2 years ago

Should this kind of dying/dead leafs be removed from a plant or can it just stay there until it drops naturally? Worried about mildew on the budsites closest to them

I hope you realize you have a serious potassium deficiency here, yes? That's why the leaves are dying? Wish I knew what diary this is so I could tell you what I think is going on... just make sure your pH is good.... But to answer your question, people (myself included) do a lot of defoliation wherein we trim off perfectly healthy, green leaves without harming the plant... Good luck....

Yeah granny thank you, I think you have actually helped over in other diary, tho some people are telling me over fertilization and other deficiency, I think it is deficiency but caused by a lockout because I overtilized it. At last that's what I've gathered from the responses. I will defoliate those super fucked up leaves then

Or how dead should they be before they hurt the plant more than it helps?

Help with burned leaf tips The tips of some of the leaves have begun to dry, curl, and look to be dying (see pics). I think it's some sort of nutrient burn, but I'm unsure. I water every other day w/ a solution of Miracle-Gro 24-8-16 at 50% recommended concentration. Used distilled H2O last 2 waterings.

Light burn?Is this light burn, or something else? Plants are getting very close to light. Leaves not directly under seem okay, so leads me to believe it's light burn.

White leaf tips and spots? Help :(Im using spring water from a mountain near by,but it is pretty acid (~4.8 ph). Could that be the reason my plants have white tips and a spot on the leaf? Or could it be the height of the light? I will raise the ph to about 5.5-6.2 ,so hope for better results. Thank you :)
