Why are the branches turning purple?
Frigaultanswered grow question 4 years ago
I go with sunburn as well. It is very normal some strain are more prone to this then other strains. . When there is a limiting factor causing purpling of the stem or leaf you also notice a slower growth related to it... From overwatering to nutrient deficiency or excess to ph swing. But in many cases it is either genetics (happen in shaded parts of the plant has well) or sun burn happen only to parts exposed to light and dosen't interferre with overall general growth nor health of the plant.. everyone likes their girl with a little tan in the summer don't they.

I agree with Nor_Cal_Kannabliss, definitely plant "sunburn", something as an outdoor grower I see once in a while on exposed stems. Not much to worry about in the grand scheme of things.
One litre every other day sounds a bit light on for water, in my opinion.
Also, be careful those wire ties don't cut into the stems while she grows, even if they are rubber coated wire, for if they are too tight, they can end up "strangling" branches. Hope this helps...... Organoman.

I think in your case, its the start of a phosphorus deficiency. Uses a lot during flowering and can cause branches to turn purple, follow by parts of leaves, switching to brown and crispy leaves as it gets worse. Looks like your leaves may have already started this.
Unless this is your last week before harvest, id definately up it until then.

They can do this for a few different reasons. Most likely is is just the plants reaction to your light. Think of it as a sunburn. You removed all it's protection so it's building its own. 🤘😤

Deficiency or toxicityStems are really purple, leaf stalks and veins also purple. Something is up. Some leaves starting to show burn spots but not many. She's a bit down because she needs a feeding. Is this magnesium deficiency? Should I be upping my nutes at this point this late in veg end of W9?

Spider mites?My partner just cut some clones off of a pre-flowering plant & put them in a root rain spray cloned. Been 2 days since he cut the clones. No roots yet but he’s wondering if he has spider mites & if so what he should do. Do you all notice anything wrong?

Is she too far gone or can she come back?Week 8. Biobizz Light Mix, Biobizz Grow, Biobizz Bloom and Top Max (1ml/L up to 2ml/L). Ph 6.2-6.5. Leaves started yellowing just over a week ago so I started to feed with CalMag at 0.6ml/L. Some of the top leaves are starting to die and new growth is turning yellow quickly.

Leaves bright greenSo I have ruled out the fact that this is not a ph problem, have been properly watering at a consistent ph of 6.5, tested the run off today and it's at a pH of 6.4, also there is purple stems and the main stock has purple running through it as well?!?! Is this lack of pk? ca/mg?

Leaves from this VANILLA KUSH are crispy and they aren't "smooth." since last week I didn't gave any nutrients but only ph water.
Syntoms may be a calcium deficiency but I don't know if it is the problem. Please, what I have to do to? 🙏🙏🙏

Leaf colorWhat you think about it? Is she getting too much? I’m not giving her too much in my opinion. Her stems are purple and the leaves are yellowing a bit. Watering always with ph 6,3-6,5 growing in soil. I have a diary from her too. She’s like 47days old. Happy growing!
