Should I be worried about the dark color on the leaves around the buds? What causes this?

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.

Deficiency help What deficiencies are these? I’ve flushed her, ph’ed her water and I’m giving her a good amount of nutrients - no nitrogen for the past two weeks I think. Is this just an age thing? I don’t need her to look perfect before harvest, but I’m afraid it’s affecting the bud maturity.

Hi Growers, my tent has recently hit some low temps at about 15 degrees lights off, I have now improved the temps by a few degrees to about 17 at lights off. Purple is showing on my stems probably caused by cold but purple also showing on the back of leaves? Should I worry?

Purple leaves -- copper deficiency due to pH falling below 5.0 for a few days? Or natural color coming out due to light and age? Thoughts?

Seeing some top bud leaf discoloration Starting to see small dark/black discolorations on the leaves. Since I don't know the genetics, I can't tell if it's prone to dark leaves. Could it be signs of anything else? Note: Started watering only using TopMax and ActiVera because of some possible Nitrogen toxicity

Purple leaves getting worse!?So I started getting light purple/yellowing last week, after my last grow question, I landed on potassium deficiency. I gave a healthy dose (2 tbsp in a half gallon of spring water) of Fox farms big bloom (0-.05-.07), within the last 48 hrs and the purple looks worse? Any ideas?

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.
