Hey all is this a deficiency?
I got a LED light, I read that sometimes LEDs turn stems and leaves purple.

Could be a phosphorus or potassium deficiency, its pretty common at this stage. It could also just be genetics. Check out other diaries of the same strain and see if they had the same changes around this time.
They're looking great!

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

Calcium Deficiency???So this is a Calcium Deficiency right? Noticing on top leaves. Not bad yet but want to stop it before it starts as this grow has been my best so far. I have been using CalMag every water but I did lower the dose for a few days as I was told I was using too much for flower.a year ago

The stems began to turn redGuys, I need your help!
The stems began to turn red. Yesterday it was less, but today it is more saturated and spreads to the veins of the leaves.
Could it be a phosphorus deficiency, or am I worrying for nothing? And what is better to do in this case?Plant. Stem - Red or purple

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.

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.9 months ago
