Hi, The cupping leaf edges can be a few things. I looked at your diary. Your temp is great, but your humidity at 46% for veg is a bit low. Different strains behave differently in different environments. The peanut gallery will say "awww your humidity is fine, you don't know wtf your talking about." I love those guys. Try getting your humidity up to a least 60%, and even 70%, no higher. Have air circulating in the space via oscillating fan periodically blowing across the plants leaves (not constant wind) See if it resolves. If it does we'll pat the nay sayers heads together and tell them to run along. Your purple stems:. Purple or violet leaf stems are very common. Most all Cannabis varieties will develop that. It is mostly a genetic trait but it is equally pigment colour change due to, well, for lack of a better explanation, a sun tan. It's not really a concern. Purple/Violet stalks however, is generally caused my a lack of Phosphorous. Either it's locked up in the soil or you aren't feeding them enough. pH being out of range is another potential cause. Phosphorous is very available at 6.2 pH Yellow leaf tips: That is a sign of a couple things. With LED lights they can cast very intense light. So much so that they can cause bleeching of leaves, leaf tips and edges. That is usually displayed on the plant where it is closest to the light, with the lower portion of the plant unaffected. The other potential cause of yellow tips is riding the fence of over feeding. Not to the point of tip burn, but close. They will likely end up burning brown like your typical nutrient burnt leaf tips. That's if the whole plant displays yellow tips, top and bottom leaves. Disclaimer, @Polyphemus i don't lump you in with the peanut gallery so please don't take offence. I think you provide reasonably sound advice most of the time.

Hi, I had the same curling leaves on one of my plant (see week 3 of my diary if interested (growdiaries.com/diaries/157797-grow-journal-by-smokingtiki/week/872518) and I think it was due to too much light. Good luck!

It’s not cal-mag issue ,I had purple stems from LED light , leds are strong lights ,sun is different to them ,autos will ask for more nutrients but temperatures ,DLI ,PH and humidity levels must be correct at stages of grow ,it’s difficult for some growers to grow autos ,and every stress may lower the yields.

I remember having that issue so many times back in the 90's when using 1000w HPS lights in a 10x9 bedroom. Those lights dry out everything. I had duct taped my window covering to the edges of the window frame. Thought it was good. I had 2 1000w HPS bulbs on light mover rails over a 4x8 flood table. Light would go towards the window and back. The air was so dry in there the glue on the tape dried out and the fuckin window cover fell right off and for 2 hours there was fuckin BRIGHT ASS Orange light beaming out across the front lawn and out to the bus stop outside the house and onto Main St. in South Vancouver. Talk about shitting bricks that night. I digress, point is, i'm very familiar with that particular issue. I've seen it plenty.

I'm new here and by no means a season vet but what AutoflowersSuck says seems like the problem I have the same problem and my humidity is low and my lights to intense. Its hard for me to get through to my brain that I don't need to capture the sun and stuff it in my grow tent

calmag is a product that contains both available Mg and Ca.. these are 2 unique elements. You don'dt have a calmag problem.. you either have a ca problem, a mg problem or coinciding problems of each. Ther are varying symptoms of each to reference on a leaf syptom chart. Understand it better so you can properly diagnose on your own. the tacoing you see is most likely environmentally caused. purples stems are common under LED and no amount of adjustment can fix some of those instances. Ther's a chance it is a hint of phosphourous deficiency, but that should coincide with a blueish color creeping into leaves, if not probably not related to p-def. lots of things can cause yellow tips. would need more to diagnose with any confidence. your overall ratio is probablay slightly off.. start taking notes and tracking what you feed. when you get into finer adjustments, what you do for the past month will matter in regard to what you see in the present. slow progressing = fine adjustments needed. fast progressing means something is way off. Another tidbit about Mg - the onset of the problem occurs 30+ days before you see symptoms, which are interveinal chlorosis and spots. Calcium def is simply rust spots. if no interveinal, then it's jsut Ca-def. (asuming the problem is narrowed down to either ca or mg, previously) ph and nute lockout is always a possibility but these contexts often come with a multitude of confusing symptoms.
