answered grow question 6y ago
2 reasons: genetics, of course. Also phosphorus deficiency. With P deficiency, it's often caused by colder nighttime temperatures which make the plant burn through P like you'll eventually burn through the plant. Add some P and the spread will stop.

Small leaves, purple leaf stem and veins. Newer growth drooping
Second time this is happening. Plant grows beautifully until it starts to flower and then I get purple leaf stem and veins, small leaves and grow slows down. Exactly the same issue I had with my bubba kush. What's the problem ladies and gentlemen ? Temp day 25 humidity 45-50 %.

Purpling of the leaves
Leaves starting to turn purple? I assume this is due to the colder temps I’ve experienced over the last week or two. As my high temps haven’t been more than the mid 70°’s and my lows have been down as low as the high 50°’s. Agree or signs of bigger issues?

Do those leaves look a little too dark green and slightly waxy? May have to lay off the nitrogen I think.

I think i have nutrient lock out but don’t know how to fix it it, its 3th week of bloom and its an outside plant. Its getting colder 9 degrees C at night and around 20 at day. Its been raining a lot recently maybe that has something to do with it.

Should I be concerned about the purple spots showing on the freshly sprouted seedling? What could they mean? And when should I start looking to transplant ? And what would be a good height to start training the plant with garden wire?
