Im in the 3rd week of flower finished work today and done a bit of work in the room... i noticed i few leaves on the floor and some others that were discoloured when touched they just fell off.. apart from the ones pictured plants look really healthy to me so I'm not sure :shock:

there is 5 plants in there

First pic is all of them... rest are just closeups not more leaves

it's probably too low of light there at the bottom beneath all that canopy. make sure you have good air circulation below the canopy as well. You should use some form of training method to put all the branches where you want them. Your canopy is too tall and free-for-all. Even just some string on those tallest branches to pull them to the side a little can let more light to the undergrowth. I also like to trim up the bottoms of the plants as I enter flower, called lollipopping.

i was thinking this because when its lights on the bottom has petty much no light... but i didn't know much about topping/fimming and lollipoping until late on its my first go so was scarred to be chopping it up....

next time round i think ill be better off doing only 4 plants in there the tent is only 1.5 x 1.5 x 2.0m

i tried lollipoping a bit aswell out of which i got 13 cuts rooted what I'm going to do with all them i don't know :-|

Seems to have slowed down at least now haven't found and yellow or dropped off leaves ... I see some people cut the top half off at harvest and keep the lower smaller parts in to get them more light to grow a bit more... I'm going to look more into this if I can but I don't have a spare tent so drying the weed else where mite be a problem only space I have spare is the loft
