Catching a fade?
brownbae420started grow question 9 months ago
Is this fade normal for a Crème de la Chem? Or is this some other kind of deficiency. This plant has not had any issues. She’s the most healthy of all of them. In the pics I’m trying to illustrate the purple color showing up on some leaves.

A fade is a controlled deficiency.. an intentionally caused deficiency.
It is relatively inconsequential as long as it has "enough" to make it to harvest date. Starving a plant that is otherwise healthy has no impact on mineral contentn of flower mass -- this is fact, not opinion. we have the equipemnt to measure such things accurately and have done so repeatedly. i would suggest only causing such a thing when there is a visible toxicity occuring, which is the typical cause for a flush or reducing fertilizer given.
purple late in flower could be genetics.. could be sub-68F temps at night.. could be a combination of both. If not temperature related, can be unavoidable. Some plants simply will do it at end of life - exotic colors.

Slight nitrogen overdose while also being hungry for Phosphorous and Potassium.
Up or add a P/K booster and reduce anything that is providing nitrogen.
Too much nitrogen during flowering will promote excessive leaf growth at the expense of flower growth.
Being this close to harvest, there is probably too little time left to affect any real change.

If its not down to genetics It's a minor phosphorus deficiency which is completely fine and normal when happening in late stages of flower due to the now larger buds pulling it all out of the leaves. I suppose its prefrence so f you don't want it you can increase P slightly, if not don't worry and let it add to the colour of those babies. Good luck 👌🏼

2 part question about harvest and flushing. I read that if most leaves around buds are turning color (purple in my case) you need to harvest soon before plant dies, is that accurate? If so my runoff is still the color of an ale after 3 weeks of flushing, is that normal or bad?Week 15

Is the Durban Poison doing alright? The leaves are quite dark compared to the other varieties. My guess it's either a difference in the variety, or a nutrient issues.Week 2

N tox in full swing. Lowered feeding from 1 Tsp to 3/4 Tsp Cal/Mag, and Grow/Micro from 1/2 Tsp each to 1/4 Tsp each. Hoping this helps correct.
Is it possible that overwatering also contributed to excessive N uptake? I let the coco dry out a lot more (~4 days) this time.Week 4

Hi Growers, my tent has recently hit some low temps at about 15 degrees lights off, I have now improved the temps by a few degrees to about 17 at lights off. Purple is showing on my stems probably caused by cold but purple also showing on the back of leaves? Should I worry?Week 3

The insides of a small number of future bud sites are showing some strange purple discoloration. My initial thought was that this could somehow be mold however under the microscope it is very purple. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. (see images week 11)Week 11

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
