Defoliate!
You want to direct all the plants power to the flowers. That means training the plant to be most effective:
Leaves and shoots that get no light are a waste of your plants energy. They won’t grow and in a worst case scenario promote humidity and mold.
Get rid of all leaves that take away light from your biggest colas and get rid of all leaves and shoots that don’t get enough light.
Cannabis is a weed. So you can start by defoliating a little and see how she reacts. She will recover amazingly well, I’m sure.
Two rules:
1) start with small shoots and leaves at the bottom and leave the top fan leaves as they soak up most of the light.
2) always water a LOT after defoli
Organomananswered grow question 10 months ago
Just fine, no need to defoliate.
All those leaves are making energy for the plant to grow its biggest flowers.
Less leaves = less energy being made = less potential flower growth.
You have lollipopped, that is the best situation in this case.

hello brother in my opinion from the crisped edge of leaves also a little yellowing color of leaves i think you are over feeding her if you remove leaves the stress will get double and simply will just stun her.
dont over feed and let her recover a little you did defoliation before as i can see the 1/3 lower branches are removed and did good just be a little gentle with her.
so lower you e.c a little and let her the soil get more dryer then feed with a little lower amount of water remember in growing lower is always better .

Catching a fade?Is this fade normal for a Crème de la Chem? Or is this some other kind of deficiency. This plant has not had any issues. She’s the most healthy of all of them. In the pics I’m trying to illustrate the purple color showing up on some leaves.Week 10

Look At This Pigmentation!Lower fan leaf vs upper fan leaf in the canopy. The difference in pigmentation is wild! It almost looks like its bleeding.

Strange discolorationThe plant is becoming less green, more yellow, dark green/blue, and the tip seems necrotic. She received a little more light intensity (TS1000 at 50cm, 25%dim to 50%dim) when she was repotted on the final DWC. T.A. (Growing on FeedChart) was used to create the nutrient solution.Leaves.

Two problems in a week. I diagnosed the first one based on similar grow questions (: maybe not right )First three photos appeared a week ago, I decided that it is calcium and took a more reliable Ph meter, maybe not right, but no new spots appeared.
Second problem at the end of the week, 3 days after defoliation 2 large lower leaves and 2 leaves inside. 30 hours after watering.a year ago

N or P deficiency?Need help to understand if this is P or N deficiency. It's on the lowest fan leaves, one is more pronounced than the other, and it's mostly on one side. Stems and veins look like they're giving hints of P def but from what I searched leaves look like it could be N def.Leaves. Color - Dark-purple

Dark purple areas on leaves — genes or environment/feeding problem?What the heck is this? Is it just purple genes or a stress/deficiency or a combination of multiple factors?
I have checked three visual cannabis plant health guides, and did not find a single issue which looks like this. Maybe a combination of 2 factors, but I'm not convinced 😐4 months ago

Brown/yellow/purple leaves inThis started out as brown spots on big fan leaves and has turned into what you see on the pictures. I've been ignoring the discoloration until I was greeted by some wilted, dead leaves on plant #2 today.
I'm not worried at this point, just really want to know what's happening4 months ago
