Nobody has asked indoor/outdoor? I see bud formation, how far are you into flower?
Every girl in my outdoor/container grow is well into flower, buds coming along good, and ALL are losing lower and middle leaves.
This happens every year and I accept this as a natural part of the grow. I end up with fat, mature colas and have never seen this as a problem. Good luck & good grow.......BB
I think this site needs more growers and less chemists, and please don't beat me to death for that, it just came to mind and I thought it was kind of funny.....BB
