alright so my bottom fan leaves are slowly dying and shriveling up...my question is should I just wait and let the plant drop it off or should i pull it off since there pretty much dead anyway?? I've heard people do both but I'm just wondering whats the healthiest way

I like to pull them off, esp. if mold is a threat.
I like to break them off at the base of leaf stem, I like that clean snap!

HI SMOKE

if the leaves are dead, you should remove them.. you don't want mold growing on them!!...

Are the leaves dying becasue of lack of light? OR is it the end of flowering? or what? lol

cheers

if they're the lower leaves it is likely they're dying because of lack of light.. if not, then the plant is slowly dying and its time to cut it down soon, yay!!

HaHa...um so far its been just the lower fan leaves dying node by node...first it was the very bottom then the ones above that and so on....I'm thinking it WAS lack of light but now that I only have a couple weeks left it could be slowly dying also...I kind of goofed today though...I came home from work and the plant had gotten very dry so I watered it well I hope it perks back up...and some of the leaves started turning yellow...do you think they'll get green again????

No worries, if you are only a couple of weeks from harvest! I've noticed some strains tend to lose more of their lower fan leaves than others as they approach harvest time.
If your plant was drooping only a little there should be no problem should perk up quickly!

What if your just starting to plant and as soon as they sprout, the little leaves start to shrivel up and look like they will die...what is usually the cause? Lack of water? Light? Nutrients? I have the lights about 8 inches away from the plants but I feel like it needs more water not light but I'm no expert help a grower out!

most times bottom fans get hit wit nutes and shrivel and turn brown so i remove

between me and you i dont want to start a lot of ish but fans only needed for plant growth - does nada at flower time- i have striped a plant bald halfay through flower like drying stage and it did nothing no harm to plant

rule of thumb is if over 50% of the leaf is damaged, get rid of it.. under 50% damage, let it be..
