@Normanite420, dont just take my word for it, keep a close eye on them, do the hand test even... but keep an eye on them...

@Normanite420, nah, just add it to your feed, from what I've read you don't ever want to spray the buds or flowers. I've never used a foliar for anything yet, still a newb. Peace

@@grzesiek, well I will hold out hope it can fill out some more. Thanks for your comment and encouragement.

@Wicked_Stix, Thanks for your reply. I think my temps are pretty stable, so I'm not sure if that is the issue. I fed last night with Big Bloom and Cal-Mag, but I think I will try a foliar spray tonight to help address the issue, then start giving it to them in feedings/waterings as necessary.

@Smowkabowl, Thanks! I am going to buy epsom salts tonight. Since I just fed them, do you think foliar spray is best option? I wasn't sure since the plants are in flower.

Nice garden! I wonder if the purple leaves might be genetics, have you check out other diaries? Epsom salts can help with purple stems too... I use about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon per gallon of H2O. Peace and Happy gardening

I think @Smowkabowl has the right idea on the purple leaves. I have personally dealt with 2 situations where the leaves turn purple. First is obviously genetics, second if your night temps get too cold it will lock out phosphorous intake and cause purple on the leaves. I assume that ph or lack of nutrients could cause it also, but I would think other nutrient issues would be visible as well in those situations.

@CRiSPrGrow, I will probably go ahead and take the advice and move it down and keep lowering it down until I see signs of heat stress. I have been scared to do that over the last week due to topping and LST - didn't want to over-stress the ladies. Appreciate your input!

@CRiSPrGrow, I have them at around 18 inches, which is what the manufacturer recommends for flowering plants. I've been worried about them burning. I will lower the lights if this is stretching. I thought it was normal growth. Thank you!

bring down your lamp to plant distance to around 12 inches bro you them stretching

@Experimentgreen, thank you! I took your advice and started the process. I have a thread on reddit here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Autoflowers/comments/aiu84w/lst_advice_how_often_to_moveadd_tiedowns/?st=JR8IFUEO&sh=cf0e95eb Would love your advice - thanks again!
