Leaves turning Purple?
Fuerostarted grow question 5 years ago
Is it normal my Northern Lights Auto start some purple leaves at this point?
It's an outdoor grow, and it's winter here, so temperature at night can get around 13º to 10º in some occasions. I know that low temperatures can trigger some purple leaves. Or is it some nut deficiency?

Plants will get purple hues with the cold weather and nights, that's a good trait!
Keep on the great care!
Happy smokes!

Seeing some top bud leaf discolorationStarting 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 toxicity5 years ago

Is this turning purple from temp changeSo 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. Thanks5 years ago

Possible overfeeding nutes?Could someone possibly identify the issue on that one leaf? I had another like that a bit worse that where the edges started to curl. They were fan leaves so I ended up removing them as they were a bit worse off. Doing much better now, only guess is too much nutes.5 years ago
