I have a plant that is in the flowering stage and the fan leaves from the bottom up are Turing yellow and drying up to nothing. And it seams to be working its way up to the top. The bud seams to still be growing and crystals are forming nicely. I wandering if I should go ahead and harvest or just let it be.
during flowering all the plants energy goes into producing bud. The fan leaves at the bottom will die for two reasons the plant is putting its energy into the buds and also the fan leaves will not recieve as much light as the rest of the plant will cover them. Have u got any pics cos if u say its going up the plant it could be rot but i doubt it as u say the leaves are drying up. Let me no if u have any pics. I wouldn't worry to much, harvest when u want but as long as thr buds look healthy then leave until right time to harvest. All the best.
Thanks and I'm going to take a pic as soon as the lights kick back on in there about 10 min.
how far into flower are you
first of all,
think of this..
When bud is growing outside, it buds in late October or Sometime in November..
Go Look outside in October or November.
The leaves fall off the trees, thats what happends in fall..
When your flowering your bound to loose a bunch of leaves, thats just the way it works.
Bobby is right too, the plant is focusing way more on the buds than it is the leaves..
--I think you should be fine, just don't worry about bottom buds. I never do.
(pics?)

yeah the plants look fine. The bottom leaves (fan leaves) are dying simply cos of the flowering stage. You can either cut them or leave them. I'd advise you to leave them as it may take 2 days or so for the plant to recover from the cut and may stress the plant slightly and at the moment you don't need that. Just leave the plant and it'll be fine. Good luck with your harvest.

if the leaves are almost dead and theres just a little green and they're hanging there, cut them off.. they would just be draining energy other leaves could be taking in..
also,
next time try using some bigger pots for more root growth
a lot of root growth = big buds :D
how many days are you into flowering?
about 3 weeks
OMG lol what lights did u use ? cos that is ....lanky man lol
