Cutting off droopy leafs

There is a few leafs that are droopy and curled on the lower sections of a few plants. I'm on day one of flowering and wondering should I cut off all droopy leafs ? Or will that cause more damage.

Many MANY people remove lower leaves/brances for various reasons. Shock the plant? maybe but not much if you ask me.

Tell the plant before you lop of the leaves, nothing to shock it anymore :P

I would leave the leaves on, just so they can take the abuse rather than the next pair of leaves up.

Wow....hope this helps ease your mind. First whats your RH? 25-40% is too low IMO 55-65% is Ideal. I'm sure your keeping an eye on the soils PH I use promix,hyponics,perlite and mushroom compost as a mix shoot for 6.5 in veg and let drop to 5.8-6.0 in flower. If there is NOT enough light getting to lower leaves they will be consumed by the plant and used to help form new growth, but my best guess is she needs a little food....high in P or as flowering continues she will continue to eat herself from the ground up. I prefer organic nutes as its hard to burn alaska has a product moorebloom, you can get it at ace hardware 0-10-10 but be ready to ad alot of ph up to balance acidity of the stuff, but no nitrogen or very little during flowering as it slows flowering down hmmmm anyway keep an eye out some times phosprus def will make them droopy look for brown rolling tips...and eventually she will eat all those leaves late in flowerbongsmilie

My advice is if you have to use any force, the plant still wants to suck them dry. They'll fall off effortlessly when the plant has no use for them.

Leaves are solar cells for bud production.
Could be humidity, nute issue, ph issue, check your stats there.

Do not cut them, your buds will need all that stored energy later, just like batteries, if you cut them off she will have less to use and you less to toke.

I made that mistake already, if you must wait till they are atleast 50-60 damaged/dead.

Thankyou everyone I have been giving them the low dose of nutes and am using the complete foxfarm nute pack. There realy starting to look pretty. There's just a few droopy leaves that don't get a lot of the light anyways. So if it's true that the buds will eat them up later well then now they're my friends and they can stay. Damn I realy love this site and everyone on it. If I didn't have rollitup I would be in trouble. Anyone else feel this way? So. BIG THANKX and if my plants could talk they would say the same
