Many of my plant's fan leaves, especially low...
marcus98started grow question 2 years ago
Many of my plant's fan leaves, especially lower down in the plant are turning yellow. Is this normal? I think I'm on my last couple of weeks for flowering, so I'm not sure if it's just part of the process towards the end. Should I remove them, or just leave them there?

This is totally normal behaviour considering your plant is halfway through flowering. When cannabis plants start to reach the end of their lifecycle it's natural for the lower leaves to start turning yellow similar to what happens with a nitrogen deficiency.
Its perfectly okay and quite effective to remove any leaves that are yellow from your plants. Typically as plants mature the lower leaves will start to yellow as they are no longer being used to convert light into cellular growth

I agree 100% with what Roberts wrote.

This is not normal. Sounds like you are having nitrogen deficiency or a ph issue. Likely ph lock out from description. This would only be normal if you stopped feeding. So anyone saying it is did not understand or read your question right. Once the leaf is dead you can remove it. As for now that is the stored energy the plant is using to grow with roots not working right from I am figuring ph lock out.

This is normal if your getting close to the end of flowering.
You can pick them off, they should come off easily.

Surplus or deficiency?Can't tell if there's a surplus of nutrients or a shortage of potassium? One plant looks like nitrogen burn and the other two look like theyre maybe a little k deficient. Was thinking of chilling out on the feed on the burnt one and just feeding micro to the other two. Thoughts?10 months ago
