What's up growers! Can anyone help me on what's causing this and I was thinking about cutting all the ugly looking leaves off but then I decided ill make a thread and let you guys decide.. if I should cut them should I trim just the ugly part, the whole finger, or the whole leaf? Or just leave it? Thanks for the help RIU!

Definitly hard on any plant to have sick leaves as the plant would use its energy to try healing themselves or atleast thats my belief and with unproper nutes it would be almost impossible for it to heal itself IMO so IMO if you have substancial amount of healthy leaves I would cut unhealthy leaves off. As if it was me I would try mayb a variation of stronger or weaker nute strength or even finding better nute source. Im no master grower but this sounds very straight forward to me IMO hope this helps in any way fellow grower!!( but dont take what I say 100%; as when Im given advice from ppl I always try to research it myself to make sure advice I was given is ok...

Well thanks for your time and help! And yes a very big majority of my leaves are healthy just mainly the ones in the pics are the only unhealthy ones. There are a few more but not bad like the pics. Thanks again for the help!

Im No master grower but my 1st grow I was 14 and am now 29 lol so I have cut off my fair share of unhealthy leaves and it has never killed the plant and IMO I find that a few less leaves is even better for letting light penetrate plant. That's my 2 cents worth and how I would look at the problem and also how I would fix it if it were my lil lady lol and it's funny when comes to ppl giving advice as my last grow was "arctic sun" great plant great strain but after growing many times I figured it was time to experiment with harvest times and ppl all said to harvest when trichomes were 50/50 amber/milky an pffft never again will I take advice with out double checking as I did not like the buzz at all as like ed rosenthal and hightimes says it's best to harvest when 5-10% trichomes turn 3rd colour( I wont say amber as who knows as all strains can have different trichome colours lol) which is how I always went by harvest time in past and Ill never do the 50/50 again lol if ya want BODY STONE GROW INDICA AND CUT AT PEAK HARVEST OR HEAD HIGH GROW SATIVA AND CUT AT PEAK HARVEST!! ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK PPLS ADVICE AS PPL LOVE GIVING 2 CENTS WORTH EVEN IF THEY DON'T PERSONALLY KNOW IT'S GOOD ADVICE FROM THERE OWN EXPERIENCE!! Well time to burn one ....

My friend was using the same food and I think its a little weak, just bump your food up a little and you should be fine.. BTW they don't look bad at all, should clear itself up once you get some more food in her

Yeah ive been wanting to cut some leaves.. even healthy ones for better light penetration but ive read so many different stories so I don't know what to do. I got a bush going and im only using 6 cfls so I just dont know what to do. It's growing more bushy than tall, secondary branches are almost as tall as the main stalk. Its looking great besides the nute def, she just showed female preflowers yesterday. New growth is all looking healthy.

Yea that's what I was thinking as well. I was going to go with the fox farm trio grow big, big bloom, and tiger bloom but the guy at my hydroponic store told me to go with pure blend pro grow. I gave her 10ml of it the first time and she burned a little so I watered twice with just water after that and my last water was a little less than 10ml. Should I full strength next time? Which is 15 ml. Also keep in mind im using fox farm ocean forest soil, I think I fed to early the first time and that's why she burned. For flower im thinkin about goin with what I learned researching and go with tiger bloom, or should I stick with botanicare flower form?

I would go with the ff, I have been using their growbig for about 10 years and NEVER had a problem with it.. You might wanna get some type of calmag supplement to go along with it cause I noticed with TB that you will get magnesium defs if not supplemented. And that dude that's shit talking is a troll, he is posting stupid shit on alot of thread, probably a 12 y o that mommy and daddy are watching very well
