Anyone else ever lost all fan leaves early in flower?

So I've got a Northern Lights x Shiva plant flowering and it lost all of its big fan leaves like over a month ago. This is my first grow sorta. I started the seeds along with Lowryder 2 which came out great. I guess this could be considered my first non-auto flowering grow.

I topped it midway through veg so the main stem was a nice "Y" shape. Immediately after putting her into flower, I started LST and accidentally split that "Y" down the middle a little over 1/2". I wrapped the split and it took several weeks to heal.

Of course that caused some serious stress and all my fan leaves started to go yellow and dry out. So by week 3 of flower, there were only a few dried out big leaves hanging, but all the small fan leaves started doing the same thing.

I'm at week 7 of flower right now and there are almost no leaves left. Its actually been that way for 2 weeks. The only ones that are left are super tiny and yellow or totally dried out and just hanging from my buds. Unfortunately I'm not seeing very much trichromes yet. I thought it wasn't going to make it, but I just got an explosion last week. My buds are starting to get fat so I may actually get a decent yield.

I was curious if anyone else has lost all leaves early in flower and have any pics of the results. I'll show you mine if you show me yours!

Oh yeah, I also have another batch of NLxS going. 1 clone of the leafless one, and one seeded grow. Both were put in flower less than 4 weeks ago and are looking great. The white hairs are big and dense already with tons of trichs all over the leaves!

You sure screwed something up, either PH was way off and locking out nutes, or you gave it too much ferts and burned the hell outta it. could have also been over watering.

yeah, all those things contributed But at least its not all wasted, I'm actually learning!

These are from 4 weeks ago when they were 4 weeks into flower.

Ya have a fly/gnat problem?

These are from 2 days ago

yeah i got a few gnats in there, but its under control. Fortunately I haven't had any major bug problems. I still leave the sticky paper in there though.


Ok, here's the clones from that plant that were put into into flower a little over 4 weeks ago:

And here's a 3rd clone of that NLxS that was male. I kept this plant in the bathroom on the counter.

has happended to me a few times when I switched from drip to DWC and put into flower without letting the roots develop. yours look close to harvest and should be fine

Well, I chopped it down and hung it to dry for a week. Trichromes, even though there werent much, were about 25% amber.

Its been curing in jars for about 4 days now. Unfortunately the potency is very weak.

Hopefully my next plant will be way stronger. Here's how she's doing:
