Should I remove dead fan leaves before harvest?
MrPotatoeanswered grow question 2 years ago
Removing the dead or fully yellow leaves will force the plant to suck into greener leaves, which also means more sugar and a better smoke. It's just a few ones, it won't hurt them.
The dead leaves can also bring mold if the humidity is too high but cutting them off, even is the stress is small, does injure the plant - so mold too.
I think it's just a matter of feeling, preferences and grow conditions, some will tell you yes and other no.

i take the thinking out of it... if it falls off with little to no force, that's when i remove them. the vascular tissue is about to fail at that point anyway. let the plant suck it down, first. you fed all those nutes, it stored it, might as well use it.

Also once they start to decompose they can spread disease and issues to the bud.

Once they’re yellow and curled up, they’re not contributing to the energy of the plant. I’d pull em

Hello Prilyfe13, next to appearance there is not any reason to cut the yellow coloured or dead leaves off. The plant is sucking the nutrients out of her storages (leaves) so when you cut leaves that still got some nutrients left in them off then the plant is just going to suck the nutrients out of the other leaves. Enjoy your harvest!

The answer to your question is absolutely. Me personally I will remove all dead leafs especially being close to harvest and any other leafs that are more than half way bad because I'd rather the plant focus its energy on swelling the buds up then trying to keep a leaf alive while pulling nutrients from it. Happy Growing

Possible nutrient deficiencyHello, I'm having some issues with what appears to be a nutrient deficiency (?). I have detailed images on my most recent grow update. Wondering if anyone can help me out on this one, other than these spots on a few leaves the plants seem to be healthy.
Thanks!

Brown spots due to light height?Brown spots on a few leaves close to the light that had yet to be super cropped to control height. Not noted on lower leaves. Temps/humidity OK, no changes in nutrients.
Thinking this could be from being too close to the lights, but would appreciate some expert feedback. Thanks!

Is it really a problem?Hi people. It's my first growing so I'm trying to figure things out yet.
Today I noticed some indentation on 2 new leaves on the plant. Can anyone shed some light on what this could be? Could it be some kind of pest?
Thanks in advance!

Brown spots and holesHad snails and aphids earlier, but knocked them out. I'm these brown spots / holes in my girl. Don't think they're the snails and don't see any bugs.... been rainy and fairly cool, 60-70F. PH is currently high at 6.9. Any thoughts or recommendations for a mostly clueless newbie?

Outdoor aphid removal suggestions?Looks like I may have aphids on this plant. Small holes nibbled through, spotted one tiny critter and knocked it off, and then sprayed 1/4 spirit vinegar + 3/4 water mixture on the underside of the leaves, hoping to be rid of the pests. Any further suggestions or thoughts? 😐
