Mancanza di fosforo in stadio di crescita avanzata, amico mio! Cerca al tuo growshop di fiducia qualcosa per correggerlo ;) buon raccolto, e controlla la chat!

temperature can be a high factor or maybe something about nutrients

Autoflower Selective Harvest?
Should I do a selective harvest on an autoflower? My plant overall is pretty uniform in height outside the main. Is it safe to harvest so that I can drop my light to give the rest of the plant the light it needs to finish strong?

Spots on lower leaves. Edges.
I have spots on lower leaves. Already trimmed some off. Thinking it's cal as I'm growing in coco. But as I switched to 12 and 12 could use some advice. Seem to be mostly on edges and tips of leaves ( where lights hitting ).

Only one plant has these very purple stems. It’s almost every large fan leaf. I’ve read that it’s a nutrient buildup or something? I don’t PH my water which I know is bad but any guesses on what is going on?

Should I be concerned about the purple spots showing on the freshly sprouted seedling? What could they mean? And when should I start looking to transplant ? And what would be a good height to start training the plant with garden wire?

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 strain

Small leaves, purple leaf stem and veins. Newer growth drooping
Second time this is happening. Plant grows beautifully until it starts to flower and then I get purple leaf stem and veins, small leaves and grow slows down. Exactly the same issue I had with my bubba kush. What's the problem ladies and gentlemen ? Temp day 25 humidity 45-50 %.

Purple Leaves RQS Organic Grow
Hi everyone. This is my first fully RQS organic grow. So not sure normal or not.No cal mag used only organic fertilisers from RQS Organic Easy Boost and Easy Combo Booster Tablets. I have some purpling on the leaves? Is it normal for Organic grows? Or it's Calcium deficiency?

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?
