Damaged leaf. Cut or not?

Leimmannstarted grow question 9 months ago

This particular leaf is heavily damaged by sunburn and the leaf miners are having a go at it. Should I trim it off or let it do its job until it dies completely?

when it happens to my plants, i cut off the leaves with such damage. the plant can then take care of more important things and put its energy into the buds

I say remove it, but only because it has leaf miner. https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/blog-how-to-identify-prevent-and-treat-leaf-miner-invasions-n574 In all other cases it a small damage, would leave it till 50% or more of leaf is wilted, went yellow or has other big issues..

yes, the end of the cycle is to fall from the leave to the soil to complete the cycle (I guess from what I remember)

since it has a pest, remove it. (pest or infection - more benefit to avoid the spread than what little you lose from cutting 1 leaf off)

Yellow Spots on Leafes Some leaves have developed yellow / light spots. I also have thrips in my tent, but I doubt they are the cause of these signs because they have been there for a year, and I have always been able to keep them under control and the spots they cause look diffrently. Ty for advise.

First time DWC, day 70, 3 weeks in flower. Nasty rusty spots appear on lower leaves. Is this CalMag or else? Please help understand and fix, thank you :)I'm using TA Tripart, current EC is 1.6 - ph 5.5-6.5. Everything was smooth until week 10. Two weeks ago I started adding Plagron Power Buds and Green Sensation. Yesterday added CalMag to see if it helps, but it doesnt seem to... She drinks a lot, ph mostly goes down, EC static

First grow with autos, are these growing too slowly after a week?It's the start of day 7 and compared to some other posts, I worry these may be smaller than what they should be after a week. Are growing slower than they should be, and is the discoloration on the 2nd image a cause for concern?

Super thin leafs at the Top The leaves at the top are super thin, different to the others, the leaves are also darker green, I think it has some kind of problem! It looks like I overwatered it because the leaves are drooping, but that's not the case! Can anyone tell me what the problem could be?

Help, what are those weird yellow spots in late veg?Hello everybody, I've checked in on my plant after I was away from home for 2 day. Now I come back to see these ugly yellow spots? During day 23°C / 55% humid. During night 18°C / 50% humid. Checked the whole bud, but no insects. My other ideas are mold or stress from the light?

4 times same genetic but one has hanging leaves The top right plant´s leaves are hanging down since ~10 days. Don´t think it´s because of over-/underwatering, since I water & feed every plant the same and the others are doing great. Was it maybe too stressfull to set the LED from 160W to 240W on 35cm distance when going 12/12?

Not sure what's causing these purple leaves and leaves drying out. Plant overall seems unhealthy near the end of flowering, any suggestions appreciate This Dos si dos Auto has been struggling over the last couple weeks with upper leaves turning purple and drying out/breaking apart. The buds also look strange to me but that may just be from my inexperience. I'm growing in organic soil and have dry amended twice, 18 days apart.
