Defoliate AUTOS?
JoeShmo420started grow question 7 months 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.

Yellowing edges and brown tips in 7 week of flower.Hello, fellow growers. Need some help. I'm in 7th week of flowering and upper leaves start yellow with burnt edges. The lamp was too close(30 cm) for 3 days. I raised it to 50 cm ten days ago, but the symptoms are stil progressing. Is it light burn or potassium deficiency?

What is she telling me?Anyone know what she’s going through? Four weeks old, using tap water with hydroguard and GH FloraTrio nutrients. PH seems to go up from around 5.6 to 6.1 in a matter of hours. Ppm=635 EC=1.2 right now. Been going very easy on nutes, about half strength still. Could that be it?

What is that?Yesterday evening feed 0.5 litre EC 1400 pH 5.9. Runoff was EC 900 pH5.6
Increased light intensity to PPFD 600.
This morning larger upper leaves are in "praying" position, one leaf closer to bottom looks sick.
If it's a light burn, why not on upper leaves?

Suddenly, massive problems. Tried a lot already, nothing helped yet. Any ideas what I'm missing?Hey guys, I've been growing for a few years now and something like this has never happened to me. Long story short, as soon as I move my plants from the veggie box into the flower box, they slowly start showing these symptoms (see pictures).
The box worked fine for several grows

Nutrient issue or high heat?I believe I have an over nutrient issue or could this be due to high heat?
My green house maxed out at 122 degrees, typically it reaches 105. The burnt tips showed up a day after the first nutrient feeding. Plus I have sheep manure and Iron earth in my soil. Did I over do it?

Is my plant giving a warningI'm not sure if I have a problem or it's normal. Some tips show damage I think it was the light to close so I moved it back over 12 inches away. I am giving the bloom every other day but half of the water i give. No nitrogen is being given,hardly any ever she doesn't like it.
