leave them. The air will prune them naturelly. air pruning will also cause a more natural thicker rootbase.

Ich würde sie in Ruhe lassen, durch den Sauerstoff werden sie abtrocknen und auf natürlicher Art absterben anstelle sie zu schneiden 😅

Do not cut them........they will dry out naturally. Cutting may cause shock or initiate diseases. The leaves curling up at the edges is often the first sign of a magnesium deficiency.

Better let air and sun prune roots, than cover it with plastic or foil. Fabric would work if you still want to ;)

Kein Problem. Sobald die Wurzeln an die Luft kommen findet die Luftbeschneidung statt. Kennst du vllt von Stofftöpfen. Achte nur auf die Folie, da diese nicht so gut ist und für Schimmel durch "schwitzen" sorgen kann.

Fan leaf deficiencies during flower. To cut or not to cut?Day 85 Update: G13 has a ton of fan leaves turning fast. Pretty sure it's a PH issue. Should I wait until they're dead to trim them off or get rid of every fan leaf that is affected more than 50 percent of the leaf?

So a bunch of my babies are getting this extreme leaf curling. It happened when the lights were off for only like 3 hours. Could it be windburn or Humidity? Nothing is out of whack in the Grow room temps were under 80 and humidity was >70 because I have a dehumidifier. Thanks
