Problens with new growth, strain: la confidential

Everything was going good until I looked at the garden today and it seems like the new growth has damage and is weak. I'm thinking a caterpillar maybe or a deficiency? I'm not sure on this one. I'm infox farms ocean Forrest. I feed with water and a compost tea containing of seaweed squid ewc and mollasses. I just fed it with cha ching to get the budding going. But what does it look like to you guys

Oh and just a fyi they are just beginning to stretch"again" could that have anything to do with it? The reason why I say again is because they want into flower early then back to veg. But I think I see stretching again

Well they entered reveg a while ago and they want through that gaze already they started growing half leaves haha. I have other plants in the garden that entered reveg and threw out a oak leaf haha no joke. I wonder if that's because oak leaves were falling on it. Or just a coincidence but it looked exactly like a oak leaf

the only thing wrong i see with that plant is that she needs trimmed out down below. looks good man, don't know what you're concerned about with those couple funky leaves... they have nice color and show no signs of a deficiency.

Should I just trim everything on the bottom. Like the bottom 3rd leave bare?

And should I cutoff the lower bud spots as well?

Should I attempt to cut off the bottom dyingbuds

you dont have to do the bottom third but i would get anything that is within 6-8" of the soil (leaves especially) away. splash ups from watering with plants outside (and inside too) can spread unwanted spores to the leaves of the plant creating problems!! Also stuff that is tucked way up inside the lower portion of the plant wastes energy on small buds that dont see much light. If you trim those innards outta there it will trigger hormones in the plant to send the energy from those areas to the areas above them (the tops of the plants!). Not to mention it will aid in air circulation through your plant.

the call is up to you, but i would do it for sure.

Thanks man. Guess what I'm doing tomorrow haha
