Discoloration around buds
The8thChevronanswered 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.

Yellow and purple leavesI stopped feeding beginning of the week because I had yellow tops on one of my buds. I think it is causing yellow leaves. Does that sound correct? Also I am seeing sort of a purple colouring on some of the leaves. Is that okay?Leaves. Color - Yellow

Why is the new growth turning purple?Is a night time temp of 15degrees the cause? I can't keep it up without making it too hot, or could this just be a phosphorus def.? I fed her well yesterday and yet to see any difference, as far as I can see this isn't typical for the strainWeek 5

2 part question about harvest and flushing. I read that if most leaves around buds are turning color (purple in my case) you need to harvest soon before plant dies, is that accurate? If so my runoff is still the color of an ale after 3 weeks of flushing, is that normal or bad?Week 15

Is it time to flush? , could I benefit fade from flushing at just the right timing?When a plant genetic says 8 weeks. Does this mean 8 weeks and chop. Or 8 weeks and flush. I'm still confused as this is only my 2nd grow. reason I ask is I'm experiencing a lot of fade. Ihave kept my ppms very steady. So I'm sure it's not deficiancy creating this at week 6Week 14
