Dying Leaves

[foggylondontown]

Is it common for fan leaves to shrivel/die in the late stages of flowering? This is happening to my plant. Plus, I have seen plenty of pictures showing this same condition.

Yes Yes .... If its in the late stages of flowering I am assuming that your plant is pruning, just trim those off because it wont grow back, may as well focus more on the bud then your leaves at this point in time.

so should i trim all of the fan leaves off or just the dying ones?

No No NO do not trim your fan leaves!!! when you flower you cut down the nitrogen; or most of it...your plant then takes all the available nitrogen from the leaves causing them to yellow wilt die and fall off...let them...fan leaves are the plants temp controls
and they provide mecessary sugars for thc production during the dry/curing process
cutting them all off will leave your plants without one of their senses, so to speak ...good luck, hope this helps.

Alright. Let me just get this straightened out: I won't trim the healthy fan leaves, but should i trim the wilting/dead fan leaves?

[latewood]

I would only take them if they basically fell off in my hand. (a light pull, if it comes off take it)...if they are in the way of buds, just lightly bend them out of the way.

Alright, I understand now. Thanks for the input.
