These things started dying after re-potting. Will it affect the growth?

These things started dying after re-potting. Will it affect the growth?

Not at all. The primary leaves die and fall off after the secondary leaves come in. It's normal.

is that a sunflower?

Also, is it generally healthy looking?

Thank the lord

Yeah

Clip them off. Just wasting energy doing nothing

As it keeps growing you're gonna want to pinch off the leaves closest to the ground, otherwise they can get fungus if they get/stay wet

check'd
also pretty

Thought about it. Might just let 'em fall off naturally.

Yeah I'll need to read more into clipping. First time grower here. She smells beautiful at the moment.

Obviously it needs leaves to photosynthesize, but think of it this way.. The more energy it focuses on making the leaves grow, the less energy it'll have to make the flower itself grow. One of the reasons we trim fruit trees

Newfag tip. Don't over water. Only water when the top half inch of soil is dry.

Sold. Thanks dude.
Any specific way to remove the lower leaves?

The ones in the picture are gonna fall off within the next couple days... But yeah generally you just pinch them off.. You don't wanna peel the stem

I grow hydroponically in a perpetual harvest setup. I use fiskars or if the stem is thin enough just clip it off with my fingernail.

Yes.

Yeah. Sounds easy enough

>dying

Will death affect it's growth.

Dead things don't grow.

>Obviously referring to the two individual dying cotyledons in the picture.

Nice deductive skills kid.

Should add more perlite to your soil mix for additional drainage. Otherwise root rot may occur.

Yeah. Don't want to stress out the plant too much though so I've been too scared to. I underestimate the resilience of plants too much.

Good luck OP!

My plant @ day 71 almost ready to harvest

Thanks man.
She is beautiful. Damn
