Help Week 7 flowering

[StoneyChef]

Hello all, I am not a complete novice when it comes to growing. But it is my second grow using DWC with a 300w advance platinum LED, 2 disk air stones and 10gL res. I am in week 7 of flowering growing honey banana. I have a problem with lower fan leaves turning brown and dry then dying. Is this normal or should I be worry. I think it is because the bottem of my pant is not getting enough light.

Its the plant cannibalising the lowest unused leaves this late in flowering it will gradually take effect with the fade

So to allow the plant to use this energy elsewhere, does it make sense to remove this plant material up to a specific point?

I don't know anything about DWC, but but them buds looks to me like they sure are jammed up, together, I always try to keep a little room between my buds, by removing leaves an even removing weak future bud sites.
It helps with air flow and helps prevent mold.
Your doing good for your first DWC, I wouldn't know where to start, doing that. GoodLuck

its more like the plant is using the nutrients from old leaves to power photosynthesis in the upper leaves, better wait until the leaves look fucked up to allow the plant to cannibalize them. its definitely due to no light down the bottom and strong light on top.

Looks goods, i would have personally deflated a bit.. angry big fan leaves in top an middle i take out start of flower.. then so major fan leave deflation around week 6 to 7ish for final time.. seems to work pretty good, also seems like no matter how many fan leaves i take in transition, they always look over crowded weeks later.

I don't know anything about scrogging, but aren't the buds suppose to be on the top of the wires?

Yeah they are suppose to go through the trellis net but I got the net too late (several weeks after flowering) so I’m just using it to keep top buds from falling over because of the height and weight they put on.

I think the last week before harvest I’m going to start plucking fan leaves so more light get get through the canopy. I hear the stress makes the buds produce more THC.
