first 2 fan leaves dying off...... for my fellow n00bs

so my little vanilla kush plant has started losing its first 2 fan leafs on the bottom. im not talking the embryo leaves. but the first 2 single fans that come right after those.

i started freaking out a little and did some research online. suprisingly there wasnt much information on this but i did eventually get something out the ground (pun intended )

basically its just the natural process of the plant growing and is completely normal. they are there just to help the plant get going into its pre-veg growth state (like the embryonic leaves are there to kick start photosynthesis). as the plant grows, each set of leaves on top of the other will keep growing more fans in its structure until it reaches the genetically set amount depending on the strain (usually within 3-4 nodes if growing from seed). once that happens, and the nodes are growing alternately all growth from here on is classed as 'vegging'.

this is just a general rule of thumb but certain factors can change this (strain/clone etc), basically once your plant has dropped its first 2 fan leaves, your baby girl is up and away lol

you learn something new every day lol

Nice info homie!!! Thx

It usaully takes a while before my bottom leaves die, but yes could be strain. What lights r u running?

^^ its an outside grow. so i guess im running sunlight lol
