1st Timer Here...Need Help!!! Lower Leaves Burning!!!

The soil does look low, and a bigger pot will definitely be better. You'd be surprised and find that your babies tend to grow faster and get pot bound sooner that you think! Also depends what soil you are using. I use a mix of ffof and happy frog which I don't feed until three to four weeks into veggin. They grow nice and big without the nutes. It is easier to add a bit of nutes if your babie shows signs of deficiency than it is to over nute and burn them. I know some people that, depending on the soil they use, they don't use nutes at all for vegging, heck they dont even own veg nutes, all they use is flower nutes. I agree stay off nutes for at least one week, preferably two, if your soil is heavy in nutes like ffof. Transplant to atleast a true 5 gallon, better yet a 7 or 10, or bigger the better.

Dont do both! Flush and stop feeding and they will starve. Id just stop feeding and cut off the damaged leaves.

Listen to hotrodharley, he's on the money. As for the advice above, ttttt second time I seen you suggest cutting leaves off, not a "cutter" irl are you?

use roots organics u dont need to buy seperate soils and ive run an autoflower with no nutrients and it turned out perfect and 3cubic ft bags of formula 707 u can get for 25 from the right shop
and hes right to say cut off damaged leaves.. they stress the plant more when they are damaged if over 50% damage you cut the leaf according to jorges bible

this is what i thought as well. but someone told me that i should like the plant run its course. it will cannibalize its own leaf.

im am unsure as to what to believe. clarification?

In veg I like leaving lower leaves so I can see any problem early, and watch it progress...or not progress if I did my job right. Deficiencies start at the bottom. Don't cut the leaves off and bury your head in the sand, figure out the problem and fix it.

Has the OP stated what the soil and nutes are? How old are they? Light cycle? Feed cycle? Do you have a ph and ppm tester? Are the stems purple?

They probly need a transplant. To me looks like bad PH, or they are hungry. Transplant, fix the PH to eliminate the possibilities...& go from there. Good luck~

I'm going to transplant this plant to a bigger bucket with more soil.. And I'm going to try the Epsom Salt treatment!! ..hopefully with getting my pH problem in check i can save this plant..thanks for the advice guys!!! I'll keep you updated and ill have some new pics to show you how shes doing!!

cut the dead leaves or half dead its simple as that dead leaves stress the plant and there are no benefits to keep them whoever told u that is a jackass
