Leaf diagnosis required
green love potion almost a full 5wks into flower and today I noticed some rusty spots on a few fan leaves as well as purpling at the tips. The only leaves affected so far are the one pictured and they are near the bottom of the main cola, is this anything to worry about?

Purpling close to harvest
Hey guys just wondering is this a trait of the strain i'm growing or possibly environmental factors that causes this type of leaf colour late in flower? Just curious because maybe I stopped feeding nutes too early and I could have got more out of my plant if feed was kept up.

Another round of Name That Deficiency
5 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.

What’s this dark coloring?
One leaf, well on fact just one finger has this darkish coloring. It doesn’t look to different from typical end of life leaf coloring it’s just exceptionally dark. It’s the only stress sign and it looks fine from below. It also feels healthy. Not limp, not dry. Anything to worry?

Deficiency help
What deficiencies are these? I’ve flushed her, ph’ed her water and I’m giving her a good amount of nutrients - no nitrogen for the past two weeks I think. Is this just an age thing? I don’t need her to look perfect before harvest, but I’m afraid it’s affecting the bud maturity.

Autoflower Selective Harvest?
Should I do a selective harvest on an autoflower? My plant overall is pretty uniform in height outside the main. Is it safe to harvest so that I can drop my light to give the rest of the plant the light it needs to finish strong?

Seeing some top bud leaf discoloration
Starting 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 toxicity

Why is one of my plants turning purple at the top?
One of my plants is starting to turn purple at the top, both leaves and the bud itself(As shown in photos 3, 5, and 6 for week 11). Could this possibly be bud rot or something I should be worrying about?
