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!

Is this turning purple from temp change
So 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. Thanks

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.

Leaf problem and purple stems
Hi, I have a problem with my auto. I have purple stems and problems with the leaves. The soil contains organic nutrients and mycos sometimes I add flowering boost from royalqueenseeds so I don't think it is P or K problem. Is it a nitrogen deficiency ? Thank you for the answer

Yellow and purple leaves
I stopped feeding beginning of the week because I had yellow tops on one of my buds. I think it is causing yellow leaves. Does that sound correct? Also I am seeing sort of a purple colouring on some of the leaves. Is that okay?

Purple/red stems and petioles
Purple/red stems and petioles on upper growth, mimosa x orange punch. I think the plant looks otherwise healthy, lots of growth. Genetic expression or cal/mag deficiency?

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. . , , , . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ?Why?

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 turning brown/purple
The leaves on one plant started to turn a little pale, and with brown/purple spots. And on the other plant it starts to turn more yellow, probably Nitrogen deficiency for this one. What do you guys think ?

Stunted Growth, Continue?
Hello growers, My plants are 14 days from breaking soil, my question is will these young plants survive with the temperatures they're experiencing? I'm not sure why else they would be so small for how old they are. Thinking I might get a heated seedling pad and start over.

Deficiency or lockout
Is this a simple N deficiency or a lockout? I gave her more N last feeding but nothing seems to have changed. still stunted and still bottom yellow leaves. Should I feed her a micro/bloom mix or flush her??! Her soil ph seems to be correct and ppm so idk if its a build up of salt

Yellowing lower fan leaves, a few red stems; N/Mg deficiency or normal low leaf die-off?
Is this a Mg or N deficiency or are these leaves naturally dying off? Showing on only one of two plants so far. Appears only on lowest fan leaves. F20, 7L pots BioBizz AllMix and nutes (1mL/L Grow and 2mL/L Bloom). Temp/RH are good. Can't measure pH. Local soft tap water 7-8pH.
