Why is new growth purple at only 3 weeks old?
maybelaterstarted grow question 6y ago
Some of the new growth has been coming in purple. Is this something I should be worried about?

Hello
Sometimes that red or pink tinged growth can symbolize over watering and root bound...which could be possible, but more in the way of adjusting to being transplanted, sometimes the new environment of a big pot that's very moist and the roots re-situating can bring funny symptoms. I think this color is just temporary though, let her fill in and relax and i expect the leaves will grow out to a green color over the next week.
Happy growing. ✌️

Hi friend. Try lowering your ph to 6.2 or 6.3.... 6.5 is where you want to be after your girl has started flowering. Cheers friend

Nope, it happens. When the leaves actually develop, that color will probably disappear. If it doesnt or if you notice others that color, the cause is almost always cold night time temperatures. The other possible cause would be genetics.

Discoloration progressing from old fan to colas, is this a concern/requires action?I have some discoloration happening to OB5,more pics in week 6. Started first on few old fan leaves with yellow & brown/purple patches and now is occurring to the several of the colas and is spreading to more fan leaves. Water pH may have been in the 5-6 range last week. HlpPlz6y ago

Purpling close to harvestHey 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.Week 14

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.

What's going on with my clones? Do not have much information to add. VPD is not terribly off, DLI around 25.What's going on with these clones? Not sure what it could be. They could possibly be rootbound. They should have been transplanted a few weeks ago but I did not have the space.3y ago
