Badly damaged

Do you know whats causing it? Looks like maybe a nutrient issue.

 

Looks like light burn

 

That did cross my mind too but i haven't experienced it yet, the light burn. I have a little wind burn and nute contact burns on mine but it doesn't look like that at all.

 

Something to consider....you don't have to buy these $26 per bottle nute combo packs to grow pretty and healthy plants. Order yourself some "Jack's" by J.R. Peters. It's a water soluble powder (2 part formula...veg/bloom) that mixes up very easily and is super cheap. I got the veg/bloom combo pack for $14.99. For a person who's only growing 2 or 3 plants at a time, this would be more than enough to last a couple of years. I had never heard of it before but absolutely detested dealing with multiple bottles of chemicals every time I needed to feed. A grower friend of mine in Southern California recommended this to me after she had been using it for many years successfully. I've been using it for about 9 months now and haven't been happier as far as the nutrient side of things. Not even one burned leaf tip since I started using it and my plants have been totally healthy and happy. Hey, if you can get something that will do the job just as nicely for about 1/5 the price and money is an issue...like it is for just about everybody, I'd say that's a pretty good deal. LOL I would love to load up some pics on this forum but their data limit is so tiny that it takes me days to go in and resize them to fit, but I promise you that my plants are just as beautiful as those grown by users of anything GH or any other nutrient company makes and sells. So much of this stuff is just a racket to fill pockets. Heck, we're growing WEEDS here. LOL Good luck with your grow! TWW

 

the leaves are fine and are still providing the plants with food. The marks are splash damage and although will brown over time, won't spread


Or at least wouldn't have if you didn't cut them off lol

 

Not to mention sometimes i read if there's a lockout or a deficiency the plant will cannibalize the lower leaves sucking nutrients out of them and moving the energy to the top growth, if that's happening the plant will simply move on and cannibalize a different leaf for nutrients. That one read is the main reason i would wait until the leaf was near dead to trim it up. Is this good info, no idea. I read a lot and sometimes is good info and sometimes it's just bs.

 

I normally wait until leaves are 50 percent damaged before I cut them off unless its in the later flowering stages and the leaves are blocking the buds.

 

I very rarely pluck a leaf off. When the plant has finished with it, it drops it by itself and I sweep it up on clean up day (day after harvest day)

 

Still panicking I see...

 

It's so hard not to on your first grow, i can vouch lol.

 

please don't just cut leafs off your plant. It is beat to get your nutrients resolved rather than cutting off sick leaves. You are stealing more energy from the plant, and inducing stress to her that you don't need to be doing!


NUMBER ONE RULE:
KISS
KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID


NUMBER 2 RULE:
LITFA
LEAVE IT THE FUCK ALONE

 

also, it won't let me quote goldgrower


But I agree with what was said.
Let the plant naturally let the leaves fall off, do not pluck them off


Train them, bend them, tuck them, do whatever, just don't cut off your plants solar panels. There is a reason why she continues to create more leaves! She wants more energy so you can get fatter buds!

 

in addition to what Dazed said above, the leaves are very valuable when diagnosing problems. If you cut them off every time they show signs of ill health, diagnosing the real problem becomes impossible

 

The FF trio if that's what you mean? Is not all organic, only the Big Bloom is organic. FFOF is, so they say. That's what I have been using, your gonna want to flush before harvest!
Good Luck
