what are the details of your grow? lighting, soil, ph, temps, water, etc. the general rule of thumb for flower time of cannabis is 9 weeks, give or take.

possible nute burn? regardless, you should cut the dead portion of leaves off. not the entire leaf, just portion of leaf that obviously isnt coming back... keep your ph at 6.5 or lower, use only water from here on out to flush the plant of nutes, keep lights as close as you can without harming plant, and that's all you can do... let nature do it's thing at that point....

thanks for the help im going to cut the dead portions of the leaves off tomorrow morning when it wakes up. Ill probably let it go till the 9 week point. Any other tips are much appreciated. Overall how does it look for a first timer?

Leaves die in flowering because all tha energy is going too tha buds so its no biggie but leave m til tha whole leaf or most of it is brown &| it should come off by itself if not jus a gentle tug should do it .....btw ur plants looks sweet bro good shiet!

this is not really true. most plants, especially indicas will keep healthy green leaves until harvest if fed properly.

it looks like an overdose of phosphorous combined with high temperatures (those bubble looking leaves are stress leaves). you've plenty of nitrogen (look at the color) so your leaves are not being used as plant food.

take all info with a grain of salt. most members only regurgitate what theyve read with little or no practical experience.
