    HELP! Which leaves to prune and when

    So I've got these discolored leaves on the top and bottom of my plant and I just pruned it a couple days ago... My question is whether to prune it again. Also I'm not sure if I should find a new location for it... I think it may be getting too much exposure cause it's on my roof. Any suggestions would help as it's my first plant. Thanks.

    Until you get the discoloration sorted out, hold off on pruning IMO. I usually don't remove any fan leaves until the plant is bigger and healthy.

      Since this is your first grow. Do you know the reason for removing fan leaves? Until you understand why some people remove leaves, the best thing you can do is to just let her grow and don't remove any leaves. You just gonna stun your plant. (Just my 2 cents.)

        If it were me, I'd get a 5 gal. fiber pot, some quality soil and add more perlite. Transplant with as little of the old soil as possible. Then water with 1/4 strength neuts. and cal-mag to runoff & put her back onna roof.

          Phosphorous deficiency caused by ? Could be PH, lack of available phosphorous, humidity too high, root problems, and the list goes on. I recommend making sure your root zone ph is healthy, then the environment issues (heat,humidity,airflow,etc), them nutrients.

          You may need to decide what you want to have in the root zone, as it relates to PH and PPM, and start pouring it in the top, until the same numbers (or very close) are coming out the bottom. This would be one way to know what the roots are dealing with.

          I am assuming that you are not organic in soil.

          Also note that once any leaf starts to show visible signs of damage, that leaf will never get better, and even if you fix the problem the damaged leaves will continue to die and fall off.

          what I have learned so far:
          environment maters more than nutrients
          at least a dab of nutrients in every watering
          effective flushing before harvest is critical to quality

            I'm using standard potting soil. As far as nutrients go, I have these plant food spikes I was thinking if using. But there's only 3 left and I'm not sure if it'll help or hinder at this stage. The plant is about 41 days old as well...

              I understand that the materials aren't sufficient. I don't have the funds currently to procure the ideal supplies or I would have done so already. I do have a schedule though.

                  Point taken, I guess that one should've been obvious.

                Ewww miracle grow. Is that the kind of soil you used? Decent soil isn't very expensive and a go box or 3 part nute line isn't either. It would be best to read the basics on gwe. It isn't very expensive to start plants off right.

                  No I did not use miracle grow soil bruh thanks though. And any spending is expensive for me currently, unfortunately...
