Defoliate AUTOS?
JoeShmo420started grow question 2y ago
Can I trim off stressed leaves on auto flower plants or should I leave the plant be so that the it's less stressed in general.

Considering the early stage of development of your plant I would not defoliate as of now, as it looks more like nutrient issues to me tbh. Those could be caused by PH through nutrient lockout. Maybe. A fully vegged plant could get away with it more easily, matter of fact, I take all leaves which are blocking any of the smaller budsites, even on autos. When the plant has a "stable base" its not a problem at all, IMO.
In your place, Id tray to hold VPD relatively low, so you put least stress on your plant and try to (slowly) lower PH to around 6-6.2 range. You will see if it helps.
Keep it up!

Do not defoliate any plant of that size............just leave them be.
Just remember.........
less leaves = less energy production = less growth.

you can cut off dead leaf material, that's possibly a net positive. Otherwise, let the plant suck down any leaf it sheds.. when you can gently pull it off, that's a good time to remove a leaf.

Did I do the right thing? Pls check my update on this week!Can my Growmies check my update on this week please? Ppm shot up and I noticed nute burn. Weird bc I have only added water since last week. I cleaned the pump, removed air stone and lowered ppm. Definitely seems like too much nutes - hoping they’ll perk up.

Browning of leaves, heat burn or pests?Plants are showing signs of browning, and other weirds leaf markings, kind of grey-ish not too pronounced. It's been very hot and sunny here for 5 days, temps reaching above 37°. I left them in the sun during this period, is it heat stress? Otherwise growing nicely.

Any idea how to fix this. I'm lost.

So our upper leaves have been developing some burn along their edges but are now yellowing too. I've increased the gap from light-plant to 75cm but is there more to it? Unlikely a deficiency as she's fed 1/4-1/2 recom. nutes every water. Root ph is ok so maybe nute lockout? Chur.Week 11
