Yellowing leaves a problem? Brownish/Purple stems?

[M.B.A.]

Well this is about my Romulan mostly. Its leaves have been a yellow green color for as long as I have had it in bloom, approx. 3-4 weeks. I had noticed it's stems and branches turning purple. I did some searching and saw that it was either stress or natural. I water just as I do the rest of my plants and the pot size is adequate. As faras the leaves, some are starting to curl and fall off, i was thinkin it may be lack of phosphate, but I want to be sure what's going on. Hope to hear what the experts think.

the purpled stems seem to come and go depending on many things, but seem harmless. my seedlings all start purple, turn green, and then get purple or dark patches periodically throughout growth and flower.

what ferts do you currently use? the yellow is commonly nitrogen related

Lack of ?

Like hybrid said....need more info, soil, nutes, water, temps blah blah.,

from your second pic it looks like the new growth is searching for some calcium or magnesium.....ive also heard a deficiency in this will cause leaf curl. look for some cal-mag at your hydro store or online. :twocents:.......i deff think it will clear up the problem

ok well my soil is 60% Potting soil, 10% Worm Castings, perlite and builder's sand for the rest. I use Earth Juice Grow and Bloom Mixed for Flowering, wanna add tyhe right thing,






where is stinky?

[Weedhound]

Yes....where IS Stinky? :eek: I miss her already.....:( STINKY COME HOME!!!!

When you need something like this done, click the red triangle and "report the post" - ask that the thread be moved. That's the easiest way I've found to get things done.

Give the mods a break. They have enough to read as it is. One request is sufficient for them to make a decision. Multiple requests are just a PITA.

ok thanks, so anywho, any1 got any idea on whats going on w/my plant? I watered them all a little while ago and I had mixed in some "Super Phosphate" into the soil before I watered. Anything else to try? mg? where can I buy it?

[keeko]

well im still sticking by my recommendation until stinky arrives and tells me/you otherwise.

[M.B.A.]

what brand of cal-mag should I buy? I have been using Earth Juice Products.

[keeko]

i use cal-mag plus, with trace minerals. its by Botanicare

Can you fill out the troubleshooting form?
What brand of potting soil?
Did you rinse the sand before use by any chance (this is kinda maybe not that important; I'm not sure how salty different grades of sand may or may not be)?
What is the pot size (canoed over leaves is indicative of rootbound in some cases)?
How much superphosphate did you add to the soil and when?
That plant looks... hungry. It is either underfed or actually locked out.
I've never used Earth Juice. If my plants looked like that this is the list of what I would do:
1) Check the pH of the soil runoff, as well as its color. I've TASTED the runoff before to check for saltiness since I don't have an EC meter, lol...
2) Be certain that the pot size is adequate.
3) Do a foliar feed with the 'Micro' from the GH 3-part... it has N plus micros in it and your plant looks like it needs BOTH.
4) Wait a couple days to see if greening occurs.
5) When the soil dries out enough to do a re-pot, do it, and I think this time you might want to go a little lighter on the worm poopies and skip the superphosphate.

Edit: High temps will also cause those symptoms. How high the temps have to be before symptoms are visible is strain dependent.

I added some fish emultion to a quart of water in a spray bottle and did a foliar feedin around noon today. I also watered it w/clean tap w/no nutes. I just checked on the Rom and its purple stem is receding and most of the leaves are turnin alot greener.....Thanx to you all!!!!
