trimmed off fan leaves and a few days later the rest of the leaves lost all color and are drying out and getting crispy. Is this the result of trimming the fan leaves everything was fine until the trim. This is my first grow just wanted to know if I ruined it
thanks

You did something and something else happened. I'd bet a small wager that trimming the leaves did it. You can trim leaves, a lot of folks do it, and it works for them. But you need to know how much and when to make sure you don't hurt the plants.

It is also possible something else is the cause, it would be very helpful to give us more information on your grow. In my sig is a link to a post that describes one of the better ways to get good help. Follow that and we'll see what we can come up with.

At the moment I would just keep going for a few days to a week. You should know by then if you killed them or just maimed them. They are fairly resilient.
