Problema con mi Runtz MuffinBuenos días,
Tengo un problema con mis hojas, (puse fotos para que podáis ver).
He visto que podía ser un deficiente de fósforo. Pero también puede ser un problema de calcio y de magnesio.
Alguno podría ayudarme con eso ? Que tengo que hacer ? Añadirle un PK 13-14 ?5y ago

Purple leaves -- copper deficiency due to pH falling below 5.0 for a few days? Or natural color coming out due to light and age? Thoughts?Week 18

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

Why is the new growth turning purple?Is a night time temp of 15degrees the cause? I can't keep it up without making it too hot, or could this just be a phosphorus def.? I fed her well yesterday and yet to see any difference, as far as I can see this isn't typical for the strainWeek 5

¿¿Consejos para cuidar bien esquejes sin higrómetro????Tengo 9 esquejes dentro de una caja transparente con tapa para mantener la humedad. Pulvericé todos los alrededores. Después de 1 día, unas pocas hojas amanecieron con bordes morados, quizás por exceso de humedad. No tengo higrómetro para medir bien eso ¿Qué debería hacer?5y ago

Is it time to flush? , could I benefit fade from flushing at just the right timing?When a plant genetic says 8 weeks. Does this mean 8 weeks and chop. Or 8 weeks and flush. I'm still confused as this is only my 2nd grow. reason I ask is I'm experiencing a lot of fade. Ihave kept my ppms very steady. So I'm sure it's not deficiancy creating this at week 6Week 14

Can´t figure out what´s this.So, it appeared today after the night hours.
She´s and auto amnesia, 4-5th week, GHF BioGrow mixed in the substrate.
I can´t figure out what is this, does someone know?

Leaf underside Veins going purpleSo the plant I was worried might have a cal-mag deficiency coming on had slightly more yellow leaf middles and undersides. Tonight those have all started to go a deep purple color like some of her fan leaf stems. Does anyone know if this is common with the Forbidden Runtz?Week 7

Two problems in a week. I diagnosed the first one based on similar grow questions (: maybe not right )First three photos appeared a week ago, I decided that it is calcium and took a more reliable Ph meter, maybe not right, but no new spots appeared.
Second problem at the end of the week, 3 days after defoliation 2 large lower leaves and 2 leaves inside. 30 hours after watering.2y ago

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
