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

1 out of 3 doesnt do as well as the othersIm just wondering why one out of 3 plants, does not perfectly well while the others seem doing awesome. Can it really differ from a strain that it shows signs of light stress or nutrient burn while other plants seem to do well with it?

Normal trichomes or something bad?Dumb question, I started noticing this on my leaves. I recently battled with insane humidity which I was just recently able to fix, and was wondering if this is normal/my usual over worrying or if it's some sort of mold/mildew/fungus or something I should actually worry about.

Identify Issue: Brown Spots, Lower leaves first, from outer-tipsShowing up on 2 out of the 5 in my soil bed. Front 2. Transplanted 10 days ago, went well enough.
Watering with tap water, never tested but didn't have an issue last run. Same soil, but I did add 8 cu ft of new soil to the top. Gently amended with b6, Kashiblend, coconut powder.

White spots on a few leavesAny idea what these whitish yellow spots are? They appeared overnight. I'm growing in ffof with perlite and ewc. No nutes added yet, just bush doctor cal mag at half dose 3 days ago with great white, recharge, and photosynthesis Plus which was the last watering of 1.2 liters.

Tiny holes!?This morning while looking I noticed tiny little holes on some of the leaves on one of my plants. I didn't see any pests with my eye, and I tried to use my phone the best I could but couldn't see any. I've also heard this could be environmental/viral. Any thoughts or ideas?

Spotted LeavesMy ladies looked good until recently, it has been very warm the last few days. Then they began to let their leaves hang down (didn't get enough water) and gradually turned yellow, now they are getting spots. This is my first grow and I am not sure what it could be.

New growth looking strange and growth slowed down (wilting?)The new growth of my plants are looking a bit strange, and growth seems to be slowed down.
Could this be that the light is too strong? Or can this happen if the humidity is too low?
I already installed an humidifier but looks like its not helping.
Whats going on?

4 times same genetic but one has hanging leavesThe top right plant´s leaves are hanging down since ~10 days. Don´t think it´s because of over-/underwatering, since I water & feed every plant the same and the others are doing great. Was it maybe too stressfull to set the LED from 160W to 240W on 35cm distance when going 12/12?
