It means you can feed a little bit more with nutrients. let's try to raise up with 200 ppm to see if it goes to be green. good luck.

Early growth sick plants - photoperiod
Purpling stem, yellowing leaves, droopy leaves - I’m thinking nitrogen deficiency, but I’m not sure if I should add more nutrients or not to my current solution or if I should flush completely. PPM is at 850, and the PH is 6.3. What are your thoughts? Any GH nutrient schedules?

Please help. Last plant died exactly like this. Yellowing drying leaves from the bottom on all fan leaves while shoots get stunted / eventually affected.
Transp recently from 1g > 5g. Seemed ok at first day after (no wat) then leaves started rapidly yellowing / drooping. Tent is fairly small 40x40x120. Could it be the heat ? Also took out humidifier but still in same room tent vents. Is Canna Pro Plus watered between 5.8-6.2 ph ?

Stunted Growth, Continue?
Hello growers, My plants are 14 days from breaking soil, my question is will these young plants survive with the temperatures they're experiencing? I'm not sure why else they would be so small for how old they are. Thinking I might get a heated seedling pad and start over.

Purple stems on some seedlings?
Why would the plants on that edge of the tray have purple stems? Nutrient deficiency? I noticed the one I checked with a purple stem had more roots showing from the rockwool cube than any others... think they're trying harder to get to the juice cause they got shorted?
