Leaf diagnosis 3wk flower

Deejay_scuffstarted grow question 4y ago

Urgent!! Help needed! My leaves on one plant are turning purple and not looking great. I can't seem to narrow it down. I was planning on a kelp foliar spray but read not to do it past 2 weeks of flower. Anybody know what to do? I'm at a loss and don't wanna throw nutes at her

Low temps or you are pushing girl to some unwanted condition. You said you did flush and girl never finished cycle by getting dry. It is very important to follow wet, dry, wet , dry pattern. All issues starts from that, pH, lockouts and stuff. I was growing some time with pro mix, it's Coco based still soil mix, you have to let it dry. Now colouring could be sighns of unhappiness or future issues, but at same time, they can change colour, go into funky ones, especially if any grandparents had those genes. Hope you'll find your answer ! All the Best !

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.

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.

Brown spots on leaves! To Flush or not to Flush? That is the Question.Hello, Seeing lots of brown spots developing around middle tier leaves. Reddit is telling me I should flush with 15 gallons of water to get rid of salts around the roots. That seems extreme but if that’s the cure I’d like to know more and can I use my tap water (7.1pH 133ppm)?

I gave a healthy dose (2 tbsp in a half gallon of spring water) of Fox farms big bloom (0-.05-.07), within the last 48 hrs and the purple looks worse? Any ideas?
