Hey Guys, Alright so I woke up this morning opened my grow room door, undid the curtain I put around it at night,turn on my light, and I look and one of my leaves is like half there!!!! Out of a 9 blade leaf, 6 were there!!! It had the center blade, the ones to the left, and the 2 lil' ones. The leaf below that had a crack in one of the blades that almost took out a lil' piece of leaf btwn the veins..I look on the floor and I see the shrivled up blades....do you think she'll be okay?? She's like 32 days into flowering and I don't want this to have been a waste for some shit I couldn't control..Anybody know what happened/problem?? I'm so confused right now trying to figure it out

This is actually more common than you think.

The culprit is pests. You have a Gripe infestation. They are these little insects that saw of the plant to get the nutrients from the cut area and they usually work in the dark.

The only way to kill it is to introduce its natural predator. Snipe. Now getting snipe can be a little tricky. I had to do it once but I'm sure one of these veterans here can help.

Oh, it's not that bad. Again, someone else with more knowledge can let you know. I think they sleep and then the flowering triggers them though. Just one snipe or so and your problem will be solved. But I hear their somewhat easy to catch.

Again, I'm just a newbie. I could be wrong. You'll be fine. Just wait for one of the experts to guide you on your journey.

Maybe...but I wonder how I got that in my house(I'm from the US if that makes any difference) I'll have to try the sticky paper thing...the thing is the other half of the leaf thats still there is working and not drooping or nething it happened last night(I'm guessing) and and it wasnt drooping by the time I turned the light off today....she'll probably be fine, she hasn't appeared different from any other day growth/health wise
