okay, well this is my first grow and it has been a crash course for sure, 3 diff soils, several diff light set-ups, 2 different growboxes (soon to be in a grow closet).
injuries to my plants:
-1st soil was CRAP just cheap crappy shit (i think it may have been $1.50 for a 40 pound bag of the shit)
-nuted with first two waterings causing pretty strong nute burn
-switched to scott's potting soil which further contributed to nute burn
-overwatered at least twice
-temps were way too high several times (up to 100F)
-plants grew into lights burning a few leaves
bottom line is my 6 week old plants are a little bit stunted and funky (they are about 10-11" tall), i have a 10 day old and a 3 day old in with them and they are doing fine.
i ended up repotting all of them in MG organic soil and improved ventilation and figured out when to water and I haven't nuted except for the first two times and they've recovered nicely, started throwing out healthy green foliage all around except for the leaves i've already abused and on the plus side the root system is really well developed.
so my question is whether or not to remove these fucked up leaves. i removed some that were almost completely dead at the base of the plant and i noticed a TON of new growth in their place really starting to fill out the bottom and reach upwords (not to mention new bud sites!), so my question is should i sacrifice these huge fan leaves in favor of new growth, they aren't very dark green and are thin and papery and dry if anything they seem to be bringing the plants down and making them look like shit to boot.
i was planning on beginning 12/12 tomorrow when my 150w HPS gets here would pruning now be bad timing?
sorry this is so long but i am eager to hear what everyone has to say!
