answered grow question 4y ago
It looks like a definite nitrogen deficiency... if you had linked this question with a diary, we would be in a better position to advise you but on the surface, you need to definitely add nitrogen!

Leaves with purple edges normal?
Leaves are now changing to purple edges and know that some strains just have different coloured leaves, but this has just happened later on now she's under the light inside and couldnt find any pics of super skunk with purple-ish like leaves. Normal? Stupid question probably!

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 😐

Purpleish at the end of leafs and th4e entire stem
The stem and the end of the leafs are turning prupleish, it looks healthy color, but nothing that ive ever seen in other Critical Orange Punch grows. Might be because it gets cold at night? Havent seen anywhere saying this happens to this strain 😗

Discoloration progressing from old fan to colas, is this a concern/requires action?
I have some discoloration happening to OB5,more pics in week 6. Started first on few old fan leaves with yellow & brown/purple patches and now is occurring to the several of the colas and is spreading to more fan leaves. Water pH may have been in the 5-6 range last week. HlpPlz

Hey everyone, my Dark Devil Auto has has dark green leaves for weeks now and is now showing purple under her leaves. Just wanted to know people thoughts? I’m only giving 450ppm to all plants with GHE FloraTrio in line with their feed chart and some bent tips due to small tent!
