pulling off cotyledon leaves

[ringohaze]

basically im just trying to figure out if other ppl do this, if so do you just pull them off, or do you clip them w/ scissors. i know they eventually just fall off, just trying to figure out if anyone else does this.

no
I dont mess with them
just curious as to why you would want to

 

[Desr]

yeah why would you do that?

You should leave them all on,Until they are brown and crisp then you could remove them.Your plant needs all of them.

There were no flies around at the time.

Only remove leaves covering budd sites , anything else, let it fall off.

Last week before harvest I remove most leaves covering the buds. Gives em more light and makes it easier tto trim during harvest.

So leave them on untill they are fully brown. Some strains have a hard time dropping dead leaves so u can trim them off wiith sanitized clippers.

very true , also some strains will auto shed fan leaves that are covering budd sites ...

I have a plant that's about 3 months old that still has these leaves! They are nice and green too! ha ha

I heard people say the same thing. Never happened to me...but. My luck they're like the worm at the bottom of a Tequila bottle.

I use cotyledons as a barometer for adding nutes. When the cotyledons yellow and fall off, it's time to start giving the plant light fertilizer. My plant's first meal (so to speak) is those leaves. But that's just my method...your mileage may vary.

They drop off naturally. Trying to tear them off doesn't do anything beneficial, and can hurt the plant.

I find that weird because the cotyledons and the skin they are attached to always peel off my plants when the main stem gets bigger......
Maybe its just me

thats kinda what started happening to mine and i noticed the skin was getting old and stringy, but after that i said what the hell and pulled it off the other ones that looked older, i was just wondering if anybody else had done this
