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!

I kind of topped her a lot. I am a new grower. I appreciate suggestions and advice for bigger fatter more potent yields. I’m not there yet. Maybe I over fertilize?

Leaves are getting dark
Leaves are getting a little dark and cotyledon seems a little sad. I suspect it is caused by not watering her enough (i was only spraying her with water the first 4days) Any advice?😀

Should I be concerned about the purple spots showing on the freshly sprouted seedling? What could they mean? And when should I start looking to transplant ? And what would be a good height to start training the plant with garden wire?

¿¿Consejos para cuidar bien esquejes sin higrómetro????
Tengo 9 esquejes dentro de una caja transparente con tapa para mantener la humedad. Pulvericé todos los alrededores. Después de 1 día, unas pocas hojas amanecieron con bordes morados, quizás por exceso de humedad. No tengo higrómetro para medir bien eso ¿Qué debería hacer?

Only one plant has these very purple stems. It’s almost every large fan leaf. I’ve read that it’s a nutrient buildup or something? I don’t PH my water which I know is bad but any guesses on what is going on?

Reason for red / lilac stems of fan leaves?
The stems oft many of the fan leaves turned lilac over night. Not only the top ones, so I don't think it's stress from the light. Could some light defoliation the two days before be the reason? The only other thing I changed were 5ml of bio Hesi bloom nutrients. Otherwise healthy

Leaf discoloration
There is a purple/blue tint to the tips of my older leaves. New growth coming in lighter green. Slightly red and purples stems only at base of oldest leaves. Leaves also taco curling slightly. Thinking phosphorous deficiency at this point, maybe combination N toxicity and heat?

What’s this dark coloring?
One leaf, well on fact just one finger has this darkish coloring. It doesn’t look to different from typical end of life leaf coloring it’s just exceptionally dark. It’s the only stress sign and it looks fine from below. It also feels healthy. Not limp, not dry. Anything to worry?

Another round of Name That Deficiency
5 weeks into flower and this plant seems to be the problem child but she’s also the one showing the most growth. PH is 6 on her, was originally 6.2 but was having a manganese deficiency so went down to 6.0. Gave 3/4 of recommended nutrients in last feeding. Not sure what to do.
