@LadyLollipop, I hate to mix nutrients, check out Earth Dust, I think you will like it, the same scenario create a super soil and only water, I think it is smart and easy - :)

Hey another quick tip :) @LadyLollipop, Gelato buds get fat and sticky if they are to close they will stick together, prevent airflow to prevent that I built this cheap mini trellis's they worked great - a few zip ties and bamboo steaks, check out this to a previous grow growdiaries.com/diaries/49598-fastbuds-gelato-auto-grow-journal-by-mrjones/week/262204

@MrJones, You are awesome! I appreciate your wisdom and time. I won't be using the soil again next grow so that's a great idea about making tea. I was hoping that the soil blend would eliminate the need for extra nutrients and being my first grow I went with simple. She's growing fast since I started the feedings. Even has some frost. Again, thank you!

First @LadyLollipop, I would try and find out why this is happening, trimming bad leaves do not fix the issue - here is a link to help diagnosis issues, I always start with checking soil PH even with organic style growing - what I also find when not using amendments, nutrients or fertilizers by week 5 or so the plant has used up what was in the soil at the start of growth - in your case you amended Coco Loco with Natures Living Soil for Auto Flowers and placed that into the bottom 1/3 of your container and the rest Coco Loco / if you have any of that left you can top dress with it and water it in, even make a compost tea with it, I have never used Natures Living Soil product, but at the cost, it should be good, I found Earth Dust recently and will be using it more and more since you started adding Bud Explosion and noticing improvements you may be good to go - :) sorry if I overstepped my boundaries. https://www.loudclouds.co/plant-nutrient-deficiency-chart/

@MrJones, should I leave them or trim the leaves?
