Red Petioles
I've noticed that the petioles on many of the fan leaves have turned red. They're not showing any other signs of anything being wrong. Anyone have any info on this?

issues late in flower
I am late in flower with my little blackberry kush and she has begun to fade. Shes foxtailing and doesn't seem to be putting on bud weight, has red stems and clawing leaves. Is this natural late in flower or something caused by me?

Fixed soil PH: Now from young leaves' interveinal chlorosis to all over light green
Soil Ph was off: 7.1. Switched to phosph. acid and use Epsom salt. Now: 6,4ph, Ca/Mg ratio at 3:1 (instead of 11:1). Used foliar spray (GH Enhancer). Ladies still show deficiencies: Now all over light green. Didn't feed Bloom due to overfeeding in grow. Will give Bloom in two day

Whats causing the Stripes on my healthy plant?
My outdoor plant certainly appears healthy, but has developed beautiful burgundy Stripes on the Cola Branches. Can you explain what is happening, is this a genetic trait, or does it need something?

No Color Loss - Week 7 Flower?
Sup Gromies! Got a quickie for yall. Usually around week 5 of flowing the plants tend to fade in color as the buds use up the nutes from the leaves. Well this AMS AK-47 XTRM is holding its color and tomorrow is the start of week 7! The strain only has an 8 week flower. Thoughts?

Phosphorus? Potassium? CalMag? What is going on here?
So in week 8 after flushing with EC 0.4 and giving extra PK 13/14 afterwards (EC 1.9) there are still problems occurring. I personally think itโs a deficiency of potassium and phosphorus. Can anybody give me some advice or tell me how to fix it? Thanks!

Please help. Last plant died exactly like this. Yellowing drying leaves from the bottom on all fan leaves while shoots get stunted / eventually affected.
Transp recently from 1g > 5g. Seemed ok at first day after (no wat) then leaves started rapidly yellowing / drooping. Tent is fairly small 40x40x120. Could it be the heat ? Also took out humidifier but still in same room tent vents. Is Canna Pro Plus watered between 5.8-6.2 ph ?

Spots on leafs, and lime green tops
I am beginning to see leaf damage again, so i would like to ask if you guys could point me in the direction of my problem. I suspect either light damage, or ph issues building up over time. It started before i gave the first flower nutes, tops seem deeper green since that though

Purple stem
I read that purple stems can be due to many things... but Iโm not sure what this could be - is it a nutrient issue? pH? โTanโ? Genetics?
