Fan leaves question

[hawgwild]

THis is my first grow and i am in day 40 flower and 7 or 8 of the lower fan leaves have started to turn yellow in the past week is it ok to cut them off?

just let em fall off by themselves, the plant is using up all their nutrients


probably...

unless your plant is root bound or something and its signs of that

 

[GrowSpecialist]

Yes, you can remove the yellow leaves. They serve no purpose. When in flowering, it is common for some of the leaves to die off.

It is 4 foot tall and in a 3 gallon pot so it probably is root bound....so it wont hurt to leave yellowed leaves on the plant?

there is two arguments... that one, the plant is still using the nutrients its receiving from those leaves


or that those leaves are just holding back more growing potential for the buds

id leave them on but im sure it wont be a huge difference either way


if you had any pics we could give you better answers

a pictures worth a thousand words
