Should i cut these leaves off?

These leaves on the buds have turned brown. Should I trim them off or let them be for now. Week 12 from seed. Only 1 of my plants is doing it. Not sure why.

What caused them to go brown? I have a feeling that it's nutes but I don't know enought so I'll just watch until someone gives an answer.

yeah i had a post a week ago, nutes was causing some issues i had. Potassium and nitrogen, got hat fixed but these still went brown.

Should I cut them off? Its a autoflower on week 12

Have you ever done clones where you cut the tip of the leaf off to keep it from dying? I would at least think about just cutting the brown off to keep it from traveling up the leaf.

What I know about autos is this. I have just planted my first auto 28 days ago (droped a cracked seed). About the second week into it I read the instructions for autos. The only thing I did right was drop a seed.

The ones I'm growing are finished in 70-80 days. Your plant may be finished. How meny days is that one supposed to take?

says 10-14 weeks but i heard never expect listed dates to be correct.

There are still a lot of white hairs but some look orange. Are the trichromes showing milky, or amber like it might be finished?

its not ready yet, mostly cloudy, few clear.

I'd try and pluck those dead leaves out of the bud. They can contribute to rot/mold pretty quick.

I think I might be on to something, I just realized that you should not let your plant soak back up the run off. I have been doing this the whole grow. Who knows what my PPM is, lol. My next grow will go way smoother now im learning so much.

I just watered and collected the run off to dump out. It was a brown color

I think most growers work a little too hard. I use Super Soil in my pots and never flush. I get a little runoff but not much. Super Soil, most recipes anyhow, have everything you need for the entire grow. Just add water. I put a little manure tea in the water but that's all. That puts an end to all the nute problems.

Dang, I need to read up on supersoils, do you have a recipe anywhere? Entire grow soil would be amazing.

Agree that you probably wouldn’t want necrotic leaf pushing into buds.
Plant needs more time but something is going on.

I have a good SS recipe but you would probably want to scale it down. The nutes are enought for fourteen 1.5 cubic foot bags. I just mix the nutes in a bag when I need it. The soil can be used several times. Just add a little more nutes. This is enough for several years.

Interesting thing, I've been watching a thread where they are using Mirical Grow Pro. Their plants look pretty good and it looks like they don't have to feed them nutes. I've been thinking about trying one plant just to see. That would be a lot less expensive than SS.

sometimes can be an early indicator of bud rot so have a close inspection of that bud

Get you a microscope to get a close look to make sure no bugs or pests are causing the problem.
