N or Mg lacking ? :(
PtiteBox
started grow question 5y ago
Look like my lady got some N-Def, maybe Mg lacking. Anyone to confirm this idea ? I will add some Worm casting for Nitrogen or Epsom Salt for Mg 😬

Purple is a sign of too cold. Nitrogen deficiency starts at bottom turning leaves yellow to top. If leaves are yellow on canopy and not rest then it is light stress. Plus .004 is really light on water. Good luck and happy growing 🌲🌲🌲👊

Why are the leafs on my plants getting dark green instead of a light green? Is it because of the strain or nutrient lockout (nitrogen toxicity, too much potassium, too much phosphorus?) or perhaps not watering enough?

Dark purple areas on leaves — genes or environment/feeding problem?
What the heck is this? Is it just purple genes or a stress/deficiency or a combination of multiple factors? I have checked three visual cannabis plant health guides, and did not find a single issue which looks like this. Maybe a combination of 2 factors, but I'm not convinced 😐

Purple leaves -- copper deficiency due to pH falling below 5.0 for a few days? Or natural color coming out due to light and age? Thoughts?

Starting to fade? Or nutrient deficiency?
One of my plants has several fan leaves that are turning yellow/purple, and I can't tell if it's low on N or starting to fade. The plants are 2 days into week 5 of flower with a 9-10 week flower period, so it seems a little early for it to be turning colors like this.

What do you think is happening? It happened in 24/48 hours. This purple color looks nice but I don't think it's supposed to happen.

Purpling close to harvest
Hey guys just wondering is this a trait of the strain i'm growing or possibly environmental factors that causes this type of leaf colour late in flower? Just curious because maybe I stopped feeding nutes too early and I could have got more out of my plant if feed was kept up.

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.

All my plants have purple stems on the leaves at this point. They look totally healthy besides that. Not sure how to resolve the issue or if it is not even big deal. Just don’t want to negatively impact yield. Any advice?

Dark tips
it seems to me that the tips of the leaves have a very dark color, it looks like an excess of nitrogen but in three weeks I have never fertilized and the only additions to my biobizz light mix are a sprinkling of guano kalong and 10% of worm humus biobizz.

Strange discoloration
The 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.
