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!

Is this turning purple from temp changeSo 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. Thanks6y ago

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.2y ago

Leaf problem and purple stemsHi,
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 answerLeaves. Curl up

Yellow and purple leavesI 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?Leaves. Color - Yellow

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.

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. Color - Yellow

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.5y ago
