I'm having 2 problems on my plant at the moment and I am not sure if my plant has something majorly wrong with it or it's a minor issue? :wall::wall:

My plant is about 6 days into flowering and the stipulates on the stem are dying, they are going brown at the moment.

The 2nd problem is the fan leaves from the bottom of the plant, like going yellow then brown and dying and I end up picking the dying ones of.

I expected to looose leaves in flowring but seems like they are dying from bottom, like the older leaves but it feels like it's working its way up plant even the majority of plants is nice and green the bottom is a bit fooked up, very confusing as not sure if it's a problem or not

First of all you may want to give more info on your grow setup so that you can receive better answers from more knowledgeable people than myself. Also sometimes you can figure out these things for yourself. here is a a good link make sure you scroll down to see OmegaVermelho's comments as well as Rollitup's.

However i'll still give you my quick two cents. Over watering and not checking ph levels seems to be the major problem in grows. make sure to check ph and not to over water your plants. In hydro only submerge the bottom third of the roots to water and for soil don't water until the soil is dry and i don't mean just the top i mean the soil. Also flushing is usually the best way to solve these problems as well as fixing the other two things i've stated above.

Also NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER PULL LEAVES OFF YOUR PLANT WHETHER THEY ARE DYING OR NOT. WHEN YOU PULL THESE LEAVES YOU ONLY QUICKEN THE PACE IN WHICH THE PROBLEM WILL HIT THE NEXT SET OF LEAVES. SO WHEN YOU PULL LEAVES YOUR KILLING YOUR PLANT. ALSO THOSE FAN LEAVES ARE THE MOST ESSENTIAL TO THE PLANT. THINK OF THEM AS SOLAR PANELS THEY COLLECT THE LIGHT AND DISTRIBUTE IT EVENLY TO THE PLANT. WITHOUT THOSE LEAVES YOUR PLANT WILL NOT SURVIVE STOP TAKING THEM OFF IF THEY DO DIE FINE BUT LET THEM FALL THEMSELVES DON'T HELP THEM THERE.

This info is essential to every grower. i hope this helps you...there is also another page that tells you about how certain ph levels trap out certain nutrients from getting to your plants which can easily change the outcome of your grow. wait found it here it is this one's great from Bonz.

Please remember to leave rep for these people as they have gone out of their way to help strangers.

Hope this helps you fix your problem.

If you don't have a pic, I suggest you also take a look here:

Also, the yellowing of the leaves is very normal and always starts down and moves up, so there's nothing wrong with that.



This pic is not my plant but looks very similar to this, almost exactly same....

you see the yellow leaves at bottom, thats what mine is doing.

I got told to pick of the brownish leaves, as I got told if I left them on the plant, the leaves can start to mold... thats what I got told, not sure if it's bull shit or not but got worried.

Don't ever ever ever pick leaves or break them off under any circumstance. Let them fall naturally. If they're still attached, they still provide valuable nutes for the rest of the plant. Breaking them off will only be shocking and if you're suffering from a problem, it will start affecting other leaves sooner.
Not cutting off leaves does not apply to ScrOG or other growing methods where pruning may be necessary, but still, if a leaf is showing problems, don't pick it unless it is necessary for your grow method.

PS: leaves with problems usually dry up, so chances of mold are 0%! I may be wrong, someone might have experienced mold once, but it was definitely not because of a leaf burn or deficiency, but because of high humidity...

What are your temperatures in your flower room..that would be one question. The second question would be are you monitoring pH judiciously. Third question is your light source penetrating your canopy to illuminate the bottom portion of your plant. Usually yellowing of leaves in flowering state occurs after the third week of budding ( of course that is dependant on strain, actual nutrient cocktail, and the three aforementioned factors).
