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.

Leaf colours
Some concerning leaf colours beginning to emerge.I suspect it is some kind of nutrient deficiency, which I accept as I'm not feeding, but would be good to know for sure all the same. Weird that its just on the one plant despite them both having in the same growing medium etc

The insides of a small number of future bud sites are showing some strange purple discoloration. My initial thought was that this could somehow be mold however under the microscope it is very purple. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. (see images week 11)

Is this turning purple from temp change
So it looks like what I thought was a brown spot (under the grow light), appears to be purple when I pulled it out to get a better look and stake it down. I did switch the light to something cooler, could this be from temp dropping. Not worried yet, just curious. Thanks

Purple'ish hues on leaves
My leaves are getting some purple'ish hues at the tips and some of the leaves are getting a bit of a more limegreen'ish color. Is this a deficiency/toxicity or just normal aging patterns of the plant?

Purple/dark under the seedling leaves

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

Autoflower Selective Harvest?
Should I do a selective harvest on an autoflower? My plant overall is pretty uniform in height outside the main. Is it safe to harvest so that I can drop my light to give the rest of the plant the light it needs to finish strong?

Reason for red / lilac stems of fan leaves?
The stems oft many of the fan leaves turned lilac over night. Not only the top ones, so I don't think it's stress from the light. Could some light defoliation the two days before be the reason? The only other thing I changed were 5ml of bio Hesi bloom nutrients. Otherwise healthy
