Purple leaves

kiffgrasstarted grow question 3 years ago

Hi Guys, some of my leaves are developing a purple shine. I guess its because of a nutrient deficiency but im not 100% sure. Im watering every week once with 0,4-0,5ml of Bio Grow. What should I do now?

Because you have been growing in soil you have done the correct thing with giving only a slight amount of nutrients. Also with it being an auto they don't feed alot. The shiny leaves are from a build up of nitrogen. The plant like nitrogen in veg. She is now going into flower so you want to start adding a bloom nutrient. You have nothing to worry about. When you go with bloom nute start at half strength of manufacturers recommendations.

Your plant is in pre-flower and now is the time to start adding bloom nutes and to cut back on the grow nutes. I worry about the PH levels and wonder if you've checked the level of your runoff? It needs to be between 6.0 and 6.5 for proper growth/absorption of nutes... Check out any of my diaries, if you want, as I only grow autoflowers... Good luck!

Purple tips Hi! I'm finishing up flowering and I was wondering what happened that made her tips turn purple. Nutrient burn? Deficiency? Cold (she was exposed to 3 C for a few days)? Genetics?

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)?
