Purple tint on fanleaves
WIGOWMAKERstarted grow question 4 years ago
Purple tint on fan leaves ? More phosphorus as she in flower?

NobodysBudsanswered grow question 4 years ago
This can possibly be Phosporous deficiency.
You need to consider the mix you provide, pH and any other info that may be key and not included here.
50-60ppm is usually where you want P. If in soil, you ramp up toward that when you think you are providing 100% of nutes.
oh yeah, soilless, so you provide 100% all the time...
just ensure soem wet-dry cycle and 20% runoff... up the P a bit and it'll get right back in line. (assuming all other things are fine)

👇👇 what he said. P deficiency and high pH for flowering. Looks good otherwise. 👊👍👌

N or P deficiency?Need help to understand if this is P or N deficiency. It's on the lowest fan leaves, one is more pronounced than the other, and it's mostly on one side. Stems and veins look like they're giving hints of P def but from what I searched leaves look like it could be N def.Leaves. Color - Dark-purple

Two problems in a week. I diagnosed the first one based on similar grow questions (: maybe not right )First three photos appeared a week ago, I decided that it is calcium and took a more reliable Ph meter, maybe not right, but no new spots appeared.
Second problem at the end of the week, 3 days after defoliation 2 large lower leaves and 2 leaves inside. 30 hours after watering.10 months ago

Strange discolorationThe 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.Leaves.

Look At This Pigmentation!Lower fan leaf vs upper fan leaf in the canopy. The difference in pigmentation is wild! It almost looks like its bleeding.

Catching a fade?Is this fade normal for a Crème de la Chem? Or is this some other kind of deficiency. This plant has not had any issues. She’s the most healthy of all of them. In the pics I’m trying to illustrate the purple color showing up on some leaves.Week 10

Dark purple areas on leaves — genes or environment/feeding problem?What the heck is this? Is it just purple genes or a stress/deficiency or a combination of multiple factors?
I have checked three visual cannabis plant health guides, and did not find a single issue which looks like this. Maybe a combination of 2 factors, but I'm not convinced 😐4 months ago

Brown/yellow/purple leaves inThis started out as brown spots on big fan leaves and has turned into what you see on the pictures. I've been ignoring the discoloration until I was greeted by some wilted, dead leaves on plant #2 today.
I'm not worried at this point, just really want to know what's happening3 months ago
