Greenishstarted grow question 7y ago

Is the Durban Poison doing alright? The leaves are quite dark compared to the other varieties. My guess it's either a difference in the variety, or a nutrient issues.

I think it will be fine. Especially when the plants are young like that they can be impacted differently by relatively small stuff. I'd check to ensure that whatever you're watering with is pH'd properly to make sure nothing is getting locked out. If everything is looking solid with your pH it's likely just some growing pains for the Durban. I'd expect that it grows out of it within a week or so and stabilizes.

Looks normal to me. It could be temperature related, 20 to 22°C (68 to 71°F) is a little low for seedilngs and veg stage

Hi @Greenish! This is nothing to worry about, probably genetics, since Durban Poison is a "dark" strain. I won't worry at this stage, your plants look really healthy, but pay attention to the coloration, darker would be suspect. Hope this will help, keep us updated and happy growing! 👊

What's going on with my clones? Do not have much information to add. VPD is not terribly off, DLI around 25.What's going on with these clones? Not sure what it could be. They could possibly be rootbound. They should have been transplanted a few weeks ago but I did not have the space.

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.

What do purple/blue marks on seedling's leaves mean I noticed some purple/blue marks on leafs of my seedling. Yesterday I left it outside for too long and it was colder than 15°C (but not colder than 10°C) for around 3 hours before I put them inside. Did that affect it?

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.

Is it time to flush? , could I benefit fade from flushing at just the right timing?When a plant genetic says 8 weeks. Does this mean 8 weeks and chop. Or 8 weeks and flush. I'm still confused as this is only my 2nd grow. reason I ask is I'm experiencing a lot of fade. Ihave kept my ppms very steady. So I'm sure it's not deficiancy creating this at week 6

Small leaves, purple leaf stem and veins. Newer growth drooping Second time this is happening. Plant grows beautifully until it starts to flower and then I get purple leaf stem and veins, small leaves and grow slows down. Exactly the same issue I had with my bubba kush. What's the problem ladies and gentlemen ? Temp day 25 humidity 45-50 %.
