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.

Leaves are getting dark
Leaves are getting a little dark and cotyledon seems a little sad. I suspect it is caused by not watering her enough (i was only spraying her with water the first 4days) Any advice?😀

Starting to fade? Or nutrient deficiency?
One of my plants has several fan leaves that are turning yellow/purple, and I can't tell if it's low on N or starting to fade. The plants are 2 days into week 5 of flower with a 9-10 week flower period, so it seems a little early for it to be turning colors like this.

Deficiencia o exceso.
A qué puede deberse el aspecto de esta hoja? Las hojas están sanas y no tienen manchas de otro tipo a parte de esa decoloración. A mi me parece deficiencia de magnesio pero no estoy seguro. Gracias.
