Cutting off deficient leaves

Should I cut off the yellow leaves on the right plant? Will those ruin the smoke of the top colas? It just seems like they look super unhealthy.

I agree with Berry. Hold off. Find the symptom that the affected leafs show. Fix and wait a few days. If the leafs that drew u to the issue are not any worse. Than you've fixed the issue But, even a leaf with symptoms, once fixed, it is still a productive leaf. So, all in all. Id only remove if they're really bad or you want to check has your issue been solved.

Hello my friend, you can cut the leaves that show deficiencies of but you first need to make sure that it does not get worse. When you cut the leaves off before you solved the problem then the deficiencies will simply move on to other leaves. When you found the reason and your plant does not show new signs from deficiencies tgen you can cut those leaves off to prevent rotting. Because you are really close to harvest I would let them all for what it is and when you trim for harvest just make sure that you cut away all the death leaves in between the buds. The fan leaves are not a problem in your case, but the sugar leaves are. You want to cut them when they are damaged and show deficiencies before drying! Merry Cristmas buddy! 💚
