I just want to get some advice on this plant before it gets any worse.

I started to LST it this week and it's really beginning to fill in. But a few leaves are looking like this, let me know what to do (see pictures):

Those [plants are looking very similar to ones I have grown. I am not a expert but I did read in the plant charts that solid purpal stems can indicate P and K problems.

Okay so should I be getting nutes with K and P in it? Does anyone have any suggestions for the best nutes for this plant and where I can get it?

I've heard that Fox Farms brand is good for soil growing. What nutes are you using right now?

This is my first grow and I'm poor so I was going to attempt at growing it and once I saw a problem get the nutes going.

Also, the leaves turning, could that be a sign of overwatering? I was pretty great with not overwatering the whole time but I just transplanted them this week and I added a lot of water to the soil before I moved the plant there so that it would be packed down. I haven't watered since.

I know sometimes purple stems etc can be normal for certain strains. The fun is guessing which ones....wish I could offer some advice but growing in soil is not my thing. Good luck.

Okay, this is the plant after a few days. Some other leaves are starting to get all yucky like this. No one has answered my question. I don't think it's over watering. I never had a problem with the watering yet. Also the stems are turning more and more purple. If someone could just give me a straight answer maybe my plant will be okay.

From your picture, it looks like you are dealing with underfeeding and pH lock out.

What have you been feeding?
What is your pH ?
What medium are growing ?

I am just feeding it some water. I need to get ferts, yes I am bad but I was waiting to figure out what exactly I needed.

I don't have anything to measure the pH with. What would I need to measure that? Could I get it at Home Depot?

I'm using some soil with a root enhancing thing. Scotts I think it was.

Someone mentioned Fox Farms being good with the nutes, but I don't believe they sell it anywhere around here. Anyone know a good fertilizer that can be bought almost anywhere in the US that would help with my plants?

It turns out that I can get Fox Farms stuff in my area. SO what are the best nutrients for this from that brand?

when you LST the plant has to make lots of new branches and usually you will see the main stem thicken, this drains the P and K from your mix.

I LST'd 5 plants about 2 weeks ago and within a few days was seeing purpling on stems and leaf blotches, I hit them with high PK and they bounced back within a few more days.

looks overwatered to me... also has some kind of defficiency...

To be on the safe side try flushing the soil throroughly and see if the leaves perk up. If not, then get fertilizer, preferably organic. You either have a deficiency or toxic build up of something is preventing the uptake of something else.
