Pull leaves or not week 6 flower

[Jimski]

Hello RIU.
Have a concern about some leaf damage. I have what seems to be a calcium deficiency on a white widow plant 6 weeks in flower. It started 10 days ago after an improper watering took place. It has affected only 2 stems on one plant. The majority of the plant is not effected
Here is diagnose pic on Feb 14th. Pics from the 12th do not show this

Here is a pic yesterday

Should I pluck these leaves as they are starting to go necrotic and I am afraid that can lead to bud problems.

2 weeks out.
Sigh

 

[go go kid]

what are you growing in?
what food you feeding them if any?

Personaly i only prune what is need to allow proper airflow and light penitration, unless it is dead. Damaged leafs are still proforming phoyosynthsis.
Best quess for diagnosis, you need some calmag

I agree with @VaSmile, leave the leaves for now and try some CalMag to try and stop the damage from progressing. They look like they have longer than 2 weeks left, best to fix the issue.

Don't do anything crazy two weeks out. Looks like you used enough nutes during the grow already imo. The yellowing is natural towards the end.. if you only got two weeks left it is what it is let it ride.

Wow I did not realize I did such a poor job posting.

Happy frog ocean forest 50-50 with perlite for soil. Topped dressed one time with fox farms conditioner , EWC and vermiculite.
Flower nutes are poured organics called foop.
9 days ago started cal-mag plus as foliar spray on lower and brushed on leaves with buds. Due to feeding cal-mag plus started with nutes at 4ml per gallon and then 5ml per gallon. 4 foliar sprays and 2 adds to poured nutes.
Always pH to 6.3 lights at tops 65k lux to 50k lux with a few button buds at 40k
I have pushed lights pretty hard the last 2 weeks. Only the smallest of the 2 plants has the cal mag issue.

Fox farms makes two soils.
Happy frog is a started soil with a nute density of
0.2-0.2-0.2 meant mostly for sproutlings and rooting clippings

And ocean forest is is its more standard potting/garden soil dont remeber the ration off hand think its 13-6-9.

I go about most grows as you discribed using happy frog, its as close to a cotrolled feed as you can get while still having the protective properties of soil.

If your using ocean forest your feeding is quess work as you dont know how much food is left in the soil.

If you got ocean forest i would skip the salts and feed with a top dress.

I do not use salts. Foop nutes is fish poop on steroids. I love the flower nutes and as my first grow shows it does need some tweaking.
Next grow I start the foop at week one strength 1 week before the light flip.
Due to high led output cal-mag starts at week 3 of flower when the lights get bumped up.
The question has been should I pull the leaves that are necrotizing off before it gets to the flowers. I have an electrical terminal tool that can reach down the stem and cut it flush with the flower stem or just before

My suggestion stay the same. Keep they damaged leafs and try and correct the issue, only romove mass that has died or is so weak it has become a target site for infection/infestation

Just like we do with normal fading leaves.
Strange how this presented. Only flowers on 2 stems were affected. Rest of the plant showed no issues. Lights pretty level. It has not progressed to other parts of the plant but it keeps creeping on the ones it has affected.

The damage on your leaves is 100% nute burn

I agree with others, you’re more than two weeks out. Good luck. I’d wouldn’t pluck that leaf yet.
