Hey man, there's no need to worry, your plants are looking gorgeous. Some of the purple strains tend to grow more yellow leaves and yellow on much earlier in flower (this is normal). I don't think its a defiency issue or stress related. Happy growing 🌱👍

Check out my current FB black berry kush grow I have one plant the same thing. I've had this conversation with a few other growers concerning lime green plants. I've come to the conclusion it is just a different phenotype that is causing this non-issue. They seem to grow and bud exactly the same way as the rest. Now the other plant that you have with the deformed leaves once again check out my blackberry grow had the same but only worse issue. It is some kind of plant virus possible TMV (tobacco mosaic virus) which show up every now and then. You should be careful you can cross contaminate your tent,tools,pots and other plants with this virus. So use a 1 part bleach to 9 parts water solution to clean everything that has touched that plant. You can also put up a better photo and get some second opinions if you like. Good luck hope this helps.👍

It depends on a lot of factors. Some strains just grow lighter than others. The first thing to check whenever you are having what seems like a deficiency is to make sure you are phing your water properly and also check your runoff to make sure the ph in the soil is correct. If the runoff ph is wayyyy off(0.5 or more off) then you should flush with a bunch of properly phed water until the runoff ph is nearly back to normal. If PH is good and you are really worried about it feed a little more nitrogen and see what happens. If you start noticing the tips of the leaves burn a bit or the leaves start to claw then the plant doesn't like a lot of nitrogen and the lighter leaves are its normal color. If you are getting nice quick growth then it is likely not an issue. I've deff grown plants that have been super dark and not had any clawing and grew fine as well as some more pale plants that grew fine as well.

Hi @TripleSeas! It's a common thing for new shoots to be light green when they first appear, but they should turn to "normal green" as they grow. If your leaves are still looking pale once they're big then it's probably because of a Nitrogen deficiency. Your autoflowers have entered the preflowering stage and they are stretching vertically, they need a little more Nitrogen to ensure this fast growth. That being said, don't overfeed them with Nitrogen right now, or you could stunt the preflowers and loose some precious time. Next time, try to anticipate this stretch cycle, and give them a good meal made of Nitrogen before it happens. Hope this will help, let me know in the comments section if you need any further information, and happy growing! 👊

Check and confirm pH is in the right range. If not nitrogen which gives plants there green color probably not be absorbed properly

Depending on the strain ! I've grown some dark green sativa and some light green indicas in my life ( mostly in that order ) and what I can tell is that every strain have her hown "green colour". That said it doesn't mean that the light green is normal is your case it could maybe eventually probably 🙄 be a nitrogen deficiency ... but I wouldn't bet on that.
