Leaves purpling?Hello guys,
Noticed some darkening on the new leaves, from the edges to the inside.
I suspect the dark manifestation to be the result of 15-16c degrees at night. Run off ph is on point (5.9), 5/6th w flower, strain(critical either super queen)
What are your thoughts abt it?
Thx.Leaves. Color - Dark-purple

Some sort of deficiency?I'm thinking it's lacking phosphorus, but this is a first for me. I gave bio nutrients yesterday, which also contain phosphorus. I've read that bio nutrients need a bit of time to become available to the plant.... Any other feedback is also much appreciatedLeaves. Color - Dark-purple

Nutrient imbalance or healthy development?Are the colors of the leaves a sign of healthy development in the flowering stage, or a sign of nutrient deficiency/excess? After struggling a lot with the nutrition of this plant, I am not sure anymore whether I'm doing it right. Some of the leaves become yellow and fall off.4y ago

Leaf discolorationThere is a purple/blue tint to the tips of my older leaves. New growth coming in lighter green. Slightly red and purples stems only at base of oldest leaves. Leaves also taco curling slightly. Thinking phosphorous deficiency at this point, maybe combination N toxicity and heat?6y ago

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

Another round of Name That Deficiency5 weeks into flower and this plant seems to be the problem child but she’s also the one showing the most growth. PH is 6 on her, was originally 6.2 but was having a manganese deficiency so went down to 6.0. Gave 3/4 of recommended nutrients in last feeding. Not sure what to do.Leaves. Color - Yellow
