My plants are 6 weeks into flower today, but have lost almost all the healthy fan leaves b/c of nute burn or have turned yellow. Should I continue to let them go w/o many fan leaves and just go ahead and trim them down?

some pics would be nice. but towards the last 2 to 3 weeks of flowering you are going to loose lower fan leaves and they will turn yellow and fall off its natural towards the end of flowering cycle

yea we can hlep w some pics. the yellowing is natural as u want ur plant to think its dying so all energy goes into bud production.

What strain is that and have you started to flush yet? Just from what I see I think you still have at least another 2 weeks do you have a scope to look at the trich's? Cant go off of the pistils. But if you havent started to flush i would start now from the looks of those fan leaves.

Well they got burned pretty bad a lil while ago and I was late on the flush, but they have been flushed since i just don't think the leaves can get better at this point. The strain is Ice Cream and they are pretty crystallized

yeaa man. your fine! =) u can still let them go. trust me.. i've seen sum plants with wayyyy worse looking leaves than taht adn tehy still finished... adn buds still grew.

ur leaves actually dont look too bad at all!! =) they're a lil yellow but thats normal towards the end of flowering. trust me.. just stick it out a couple more weeks.. it'll be worth it. some people completely cut off ALL the fan leaves at week 6-7.. and the buds still do fine. =) u got nuthin to worry about my friend. =) look pretty good too. keep up the good work!

if you want.. (this is more of a personal preference) u can cut off any leaves that are REALLY bad.. like teh browning ones. u can cut them off if you'd like.. and this will allow for more light to get to some of the budsites... soo in a way.. it would actually HELP you.. adn HELP the buds.

its up to u tho.. you will hear some ppl say NOT to cut them.. adn hear others say DO cut them.. its up for debate wetehr its ok to or not.. but u can look at my lil avatar pic.. that my White Widow plant... i trimmed alotta the leaves off to let more light get to the buds.. and it did just fine. got 3.15 ounces off her. =)
