Purpling sugar leaves
HappySkunkstarted grow question 6y ago
I’m seeing some of my sugar leaves turning a purple-ish colour? Is this genetics or some bad news?
I hope the pictures shows it okay.

Genetics, nutrients and lights might give the purple hue to stems and leaves, also cold temperatures.
On peppers/hot peppers, purple pigment is generated because light is too powerful sometimes (is a good sign) and in cannabis too, it's probably more efficient than green at that stage of growing.

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

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

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

Look At This Pigmentation!Lower fan leaf vs upper fan leaf in the canopy. The difference in pigmentation is wild! It almost looks like its bleeding.
