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.

Dry yellow tipsI've noticed a few leaves have developed some dry tips on the ends including some of the new ones coming through. Can anyone tell me what could be the problem? Feeding bio grow 2ml per l at the minute. Is it a deficiency of some sort? Or nutrient burn? Worth sticking to water?

I've been having this problem with the browning leaves on the bottom.
1. Every time i do DWC from seed, the picture as shown on Week#2 Day#11 happens. Why is that?
2. What do you think is causing the browned lower leaves? Is it calcium deficiency? Or potassium?Week 3

Bottom leafs getting dryThe last two pictures show some sights of deficiency after getting a little bit dry before repotting. Any recommendations: should I do something? I will definitely use some ph-down and water with 6.0 to 6.5 ph to help the microorganism get going :)

Is this sign of over feeding?Few of my babies in vegetative stage are encountering this problem. Some of the leaves are showing like those in photo. My guess is overfeeding the nutrients. But before I making any decision, I want to hear some professional opinions. Nutrient feed interval is per 4 days.

What could it be?I'm a relatively new grower and I don't have a diary setup yet. I know it's hard to diagnose a problem when there is no diary, sorry!
They were good until they started to yellow. They are in their 5 to 6 weeks of flowering. Some are good some are yellow and I feed them the same.

Just to confirm, this looks like nute burn, doesn't it?Burnt edges, tips curled up, canoeing. I've been having trouble balancing airflow and heat in such a small tent, and as a result the tent is on average about 28 degrees celcius daytime and the plants still get a lot of wind. Looking for whatever advice you can give! :)
