Long time reader first time poster!
Right to business,
I'm growing a couple little buddies for the first time. From everything I read, most newbie mistakes are from people trying to do too much, so I've taken a pretty hands off approach so far.
Recently, using this site and some others, I diagnosed my little buddies with some nutrient deficiency, most notably nitrogen (slowed growth, yellowing older/low leaves) and phosphorous (slowed growth, sort of shrivelling older/low leaves with graying tips).
Anyways, I bought some nutrients with a good nitrogen ratio and applied that, then about a week or so later I put some stuff on with a good phos ratio.
Some of the leaves more or less died on their own and kind of just fell off, but there are still some that had turned yellowish (the nitrogen symptom leaves mainly) that still seem pretty healthy other than the yellowing.
Do I trim these leaves off? Will they ever restore to their natural healthy green color? Does leaving them on risk somehow spreading problems to other parts of the plant?
All the leaves effected are very small "baby" or early growth leaves, so it doesn't seem like a big deal to trim them, but like I said I am really holding to the less is more philosophy when I do things to the buddies.
Thanks in advance for any help!
