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!

Possible overfeeding nutes?Could someone possibly identify the issue on that one leaf? I had another like that a bit worse that where the edges started to curl. They were fan leaves so I ended up removing them as they were a bit worse off. Doing much better now, only guess is too much nutes.5 years ago

Leaf discolorationThere is a purple/blue tint to the tips of my older leaves. New growth coming in lighter green. Slightly red and purples stems only at base of oldest leaves. Leaves also taco curling slightly. Thinking phosphorous deficiency at this point, maybe combination N toxicity and heat?5 years ago

Autoflower week 9, not floweringSo what should I do, there's no signs of switching in week 9!
I've tried changing to 18/6 lighting, but have only been running it for a couple of days.
Besides that she is really droopy and the soil feels really hard (maybe lots of roots).
Any advice is appreciated :)5 years ago
