Should I remove dead fan leaves before harvest?
MrPotatoeanswered grow question a year 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

Big difference in first true leaves' sizeBig difference in first true leaves' size
Its almost day 5 after emergence. Is this normal? Should I be concerned?
ALSO: It's still a seedling but, I maybe think the cup in which i'm growing it in is too small, or rather I put too little soil (9cm diameter , 4cm tall dirt).

3 days in, only cotydelons with no sign of the first true leaves. Have you seen this and has it recovered?This plant was stunted at the start after he couldn't get his hat off, but now looks pretty healthy however it's been 3 days of just cotydelons and absolutely no sign of the first true leaves. Have you had this before and did it recover to eventually grow true leaves?

First Grow 4 weeks into Veg - Let my humidity get too high for 1 night. Need help with mold/septoria/?Last 3 days I've pruned diseased leaves every morning, foliar sprayed peroxide leaves & topsoil, & added some to watering solution. Is only affecting one plant in tent. Humidity no longer issue (was waiting 4 inline fan). If I keep pulling off leaves it's going to die anyway.

Anyone recognize this leaf mutation?Anyone have any information about this leaf mutation? The leaves seem to overlap under each other.
Not environmental issue, clones exhibit the same growth pattern.
Besides the strange leaves and complete lack of stretch, the bud formation is looking really nice

Help me Gods of educationHello boys and girls ✌️
Could someone help me on this green decoloration. I raised to 300ppm and the conditions stay the same as above. I just sprayed them with tap water (6.7pH) for like 3 days to raise some humidity. Could it be related? Could it be a lack of nutes?

Disfigured leaves on one plant, same strain as second plant, should I worry?Hi, could you look at both plants, one looks slightly disfigured. Both are the same batch of seeds. Is it something I should be concerned about? They are like, I don't know, have more teeth than the other plant, have holes on edges and are narrower. Or is it normal for first?
