Don't worry much if the rest of the plant is healthy, even the best kept plant loses the odd leaf due to age, not getting light down there etc etc. When they're that dead it's definitely worth gently removing them as they can go mouldy and you don't want too many fungi getting funky in your GR.

e2a: they look like they should have been in bigger pots by now, by the way. Worth remembering for next time.

pot size is relative to plant size , the bigger the plant the bigger the pot, 6.5 ltr works for me smile.gif

H i Farmer G am feeding them with bio bizz bloom every 5-6 days or when too dry altho in the last 15 days they have only been watered twice. we've been away. I
must admit that the light intensity is really bad towards the bottom not much getting down there.

mornin mrn mrs , i think you just awnserd ya prob , i feed my girls every day or every other day if they dont need it , i no you have been away
so from now on try to give them little feeds every day if poss or every other day and if you got some bio grow start usin that with every feed too , i`d say 1ml/ltr should
do the trick and give your plants a better colour , also the light intensity underneath the canapy doesnt effect the health of the leaves , we affect the health
of the plant , so if you feed how i have stated on a regular basis i think you should see an improvement realitivly quick , hope this helps , all the best

no problem matey`s , like i said try get them on a routine on a frequent wet/dry cycle
when plants are smaller try evry other day obviously as they grow they will want more ,
this way you will learn how to read the lants and what they want , i prefere to give ma girls
a waterin little but often instead of givin em a shit load and waitin 5 days !! got 6 girls
around 4.5 weeks 12/12 and all looks rosy , have a lil look in ma diary and see what ya think
all the best
