TRY TO IDENTIFY THIS NUTE PROBLEM! With Pictures For Your Viewing Pleasure...
Just looking at the seedlings I can see overwatering. And likely if you keep spraying them, you'll develop mold on the leaves. Too much care, not enough patience. ;)
The purple stems don't bother me nearly as much as your using Sweet on seedlings. Your plants are too young for any nutrients and additives, including Sweet. I never even use a molasses product (actually I use molasses) till plants are at least a month old. Sweet, Carbo-Load, CalMag and plenty of other "necessary ammendments" are all molasses or synthetic molasses products. (sugar beet or sugar cane derived)
Once you transplant them into larger containers, (in about two weeks) moisture regulation get's easier.
The purple can be from cold temperatures, PO4 defecient, or it could be from a strain that purples. Do not try to chemically correct this, as it will likely cause more problems than you are solving.
Relax....:jointsmile:
Come to think of it...are we now talking about your ladies or your seedlings...?

I posted the seedling pics because they show the same problem as the ladies. I thought it would be a good cross-reference to the problem I am experiencing since the only common element is the water.
I DO NOT use anything on the seedlings besides plain water. No additives, NOTHING. I do not spray them, and they are not in a humidity dome, so they dry out quickly. What signs of over-watering do you see?
A hydroponics shop is moving into my town! I met the owners at the local bar last night and after talking to them they may have touched on something relevant: Iron Bacteria. Ever heard of it? Apparently its everywhere but can be worse in some places.
In the meantime I've purchased some distilled water to use instead of my well water. Once again I've been told that I HAVE TO use Cal-Mag Plus when using distilled water. Agreed?

Thanks R.T. Im learning alot just by reading your post.Im not going 2 use the darkness period b4 chop.The next chop that is.Ive got 4 Iranian Autos two feet tall two weeks into 12/12,and doing fine. This is my first grow.ive only harvested one Autoflower ,and was not a high yield because of overtriming;thanks to my country ass believing what i read on onother site.still very potent.havnt trimmed other 4.just letting them do there thing,and they are huge.I ran out of nutrients wich were;continuous feed formula;cv65 d(2).macro nutrients.with a content of Total nitrogen;12.58% . Avalible Phosphoric Acid-p2Os-1.44% . Soluble Potash k2o-5.11% . My question is ; do you think a product called ; Superthrive would b just as good?Like to post pics . still no camera.I have a camera phone , and 2 day i will try and e-mail pics 2 my computer,and then here?I swear ther is hardly anything simple anymore.I thank you 4 not being stingy with your mind.

Oh, I don't know...perhaps it's the seedling's washed-out green (yellowing) leaves that are curled-under. The color of the soil says it pretty saturated too.

I'm willing to bet he has a cure for this condition, (rust) for a nominal price. IMHO, not even close to relevant unless your water well is solid iron. Perhaps he was just drunk, but I wouldn't trust him after an answer like that. (did you Google his response...?)

I'd google your local water conditions, and if nothing unplesant, would re-consider using the wellwater. Cheaper, and much easier than bottled or R/O. If your wellwater is ok for drinking, it's ok for cannabis once ph adjusted.
CalMag Plus is not necessary till late growth stage or early flowering. CalMag Plus also contains iron. (will feed the bacteria, lol) CalMag plus is a molasses derivative with nothing exceptional about it other than the pricetag.
