Need Help!

Well I can say my plant is over all doing great. I just have one question. The very bottom fan leaves of my plant keep turning yellow and falling off. after that pair falls off then the next pair falls off but the budding branches don't? Is this natural or something I need to look out for. I'm not sure whats going on. It's and outside plant as well.

How old is the plant? The older leaves tend to fall off after some time and if the budding branches are doing fine then I wouldn't worry.

Yeaup, the budding branches are doing fine, the water leaves kept falling off so I was just wondering if it's natural for the plant to do that to give the budding branches some light.

mine is doing the same thing, figured i was fuckin up somehow, glad im not as far as this is concerned

It shouldn't be happening during the veg cycle unless you are just vegging it for months and months. The bottom leaves will be the first to go mid-late into flowering because they've done their job and the plant uses their reserve energy to create buds and other lovely things.

if your in the vegging cycle you may be over watering

I'd like to pitch my view in on this matter.

during the course of the grow you might notice any amount of things going on and post about it on the forum . we are doing this because it's part of the process- reading your plants, seeking more information and feedback, and ultimately revising technique to grow better plants. But almost always, it doesn't boil down to any single fact in my view. The best I can suggest then, is to read your plants, based on your thoughts and feelings, try to interpret what your plants are telling you.

A maestro of the growing arts once mentioned to me, that Any thing going on above the soil line is a direct reflection of what's going on below it. You could have seen your plant from day to day and experienced a flash instinct, that something is amiss. You come on the forum mentioning yellowing leaves and someone says don't worry about it. But your respondent has not taken a microscope and viewed a few slides of your soil or hydro medium. So really, you're closer to saying how well your plant is doing than anonymous internet forum contributors.

spend time to exhale with those plants. get right up with the soil line and give it a poke and sniff around. the independent work you do in your garden, along with lurking the forums and receiving feedback about matters of concern to you, will make your grow better and the final jarred product will speak volumes to this progress.

enjoy!

This plant has been vegging for a while, probably sense august as a seedling. I also water it a lot.
