answered grow question 5y 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.

Leaf underside Veins going purple
So the plant I was worried might have a cal-mag deficiency coming on had slightly more yellow leaf middles and undersides. Tonight those have all started to go a deep purple color like some of her fan leaf stems. Does anyone know if this is common with the Forbidden Runtz?

Some sort of deficiency?
I'm thinking it's lacking phosphorus, but this is a first for me. I gave bio nutrients yesterday, which also contain phosphorus. I've read that bio nutrients need a bit of time to become available to the plant.... Any other feedback is also much appreciated

Purple tips
Hi! I'm finishing up flowering and I was wondering what happened that made her tips turn purple. Nutrient burn? Deficiency? Cold (she was exposed to 3 C for a few days)? Genetics?

Strange discoloration
The plant is becoming less green, more yellow, dark green/blue, and the tip seems necrotic. She received a little more light intensity (TS1000 at 50cm, 25%dim to 50%dim) when she was repotted on the final DWC. T.A. (Growing on FeedChart) was used to create the nutrient solution.

Curling leaves with purple tinge
Had to leave plants for four days. Watered with 1L of water before I left. Arrived to 31c temps and leaves curling with a purple tinge to older leaves. Assuming heat stress mixed with overwatering. Thoughts?

Discoloration and Spots
I'm still not sure if this is a deficiency or some sort of burn. It's definitely spreading a bit more, and I'm unsure if there's time left to address it in the grow. Video of full plant in week.
