Purple Leaves (not purple bunds!)Noticed some purple patches forming. Im sure this happens every grow and I end up with a range of answers, but as I'm using some utes this time, I wondered if its more likely to be one answer over another this time.

Seeing some top bud leaf discolorationStarting to see small dark/black discolorations on the leaves.
Since I don't know the genetics, I can't tell if it's prone to dark leaves.
Could it be signs of anything else?
Note: Started watering only using TopMax and ActiVera because of some possible Nitrogen toxicity6y ago

Reason for red / lilac stems of fan leaves?The stems oft many of the fan leaves turned lilac over night. Not only the top ones, so I don't think it's stress from the light. Could some light defoliation the two days before be the reason? The only other thing I changed were 5ml of bio Hesi bloom nutrients. Otherwise healthyWeek 5

Purple stems-curling tips leaves point downGuys the sides stems seem really purple!even the central stem..
Why? magnesium deficiency?or genetics?
And that leaves tip pointed down; they are a problem..
Maybe N deficiency?(due the early preflowering for the wrong light cycle) Thanks :)5y ago
