Hey tick tock,
So anytime i got those rusty splotches it ended up being lack of a calmag supplement or i had a ph problem once that reeked havoc. Since your ph # is good, unless you want to recalibrate just to check, look into a calcium/phosphorus issue. Maybe drop your bio grow and pick up the bio bizz calmag supplement and the problem will probably sort itself out. Unfortunately the damage is usual permanent but you can stop the spread and make it through flowering. You could possibly up the bloom nutrient for a higher phosphorus level since purple is often caused by that...but being in the mix already I'd lean more towards a small calmag dose each week.
Happy harvesting. ✌️

I believe when this happens you can give them a light compost tea when the roots dry out and raise the lights, let them chill hopefully in low temps. I call this putting them in the infirmary. When they recover give them just water until they grow fast hen give them 600 ppm nutrients or an organic amendment.

Your plants are a bit high on nitrogen hence the nutes burn and dark color of the other leafs
The rusty purplish leafs are a sign of phosphorus or potassium..not really sure witch it is..but treatment stays the same..first flush out old nutrients and the last flush you give halve a dose bloom nutrients (cut back n and add something like pk 13-14 a bit more) let her dry out and then you fill your pot back with full dose nutrients
✌️Happy growing and stay safe 🌱

Hello.. Hope you are well.. It looks like a case of overfeeding and deficiency.. 1)Give her a complete flush thru at ph6.2 if in soil.. This will help get any nasties out surrounding her roots.. 2)give her nxt feed at ur normal dose minus 20% of nutes then slowly bring her bk.. 3)if u dont mind then use a root stim to help any damage.. 4)take off damaged leaves only wen u see signs of improvement (unless they totally crispy).. Stay safe n gud luck.. 👍🍀

Hey my friend :-) This can be genetic, but it can also be that your temperature is a bit cooler, since some strains tend to stain, which is not a problem as long as you don't get far below 18 degrees Celsius :-). I would watch something. Let it grow, it looks wonderful from 👍🌱🍀

Catching a fade?Is this fade normal for a Crème de la Chem? Or is this some other kind of deficiency. This plant has not had any issues. She’s the most healthy of all of them. In the pics I’m trying to illustrate the purple color showing up on some leaves.

Strange discolorationThe plant is becoming less green, more yellow, dark green/blue, and the tip seems necrotic. She received a little more light intensity (TS1000 at 50cm, 25%dim to 50%dim) when she was repotted on the final DWC. T.A. (Growing on FeedChart) was used to create the nutrient solution.

2 part question about harvest and flushing. I read that if most leaves around buds are turning color (purple in my case) you need to harvest soon before plant dies, is that accurate? If so my runoff is still the color of an ale after 3 weeks of flushing, is that normal or bad?Week 15

Hi Growers, my tent has recently hit some low temps at about 15 degrees lights off, I have now improved the temps by a few degrees to about 17 at lights off. Purple is showing on my stems probably caused by cold but purple also showing on the back of leaves? Should I worry?Week 3

N tox in full swing. Lowered feeding from 1 Tsp to 3/4 Tsp Cal/Mag, and Grow/Micro from 1/2 Tsp each to 1/4 Tsp each. Hoping this helps correct.
Is it possible that overwatering also contributed to excessive N uptake? I let the coco dry out a lot more (~4 days) this time.Week 4

Is the Durban Poison doing alright? The leaves are quite dark compared to the other varieties. My guess it's either a difference in the variety, or a nutrient issues.Week 2

The insides of a small number of future bud sites are showing some strange purple discoloration. My initial thought was that this could somehow be mold however under the microscope it is very purple. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. (see images week 11)Week 11
