I've attached some pictures here in hopes of getting some advice. I've noticed some yellowing on the leafs and now I have this strange, red/purple going on with the stems. I posted the yellowing pics in another thread and I'm not having much luck...where is stinkyattic when I need some advice!? :question:
found this info at rollitup.org in their grow FAQ for red or purpling stems....
5) Leaves are dark green or red/purple. Stems and petioles may have purple & red on them. Leaves may turn yellow or curl under. Leaf may drop easily. Growth may be slow and leaves may be small. >> Phosphorus(P) deficiency.
I do hope this helps
Nim
ur plant looks ok to me red and purple are normal especially for stems so is yellowing depending on ur situation
Oh wow, so no need for panic then? They do seem healthy other than those things. I'll just let it ride for a week or so and play it by ear rather than change what I have going on at the time.Quote:

Keep an eye on them to see if their growth is still vigorous, and fill out the troubleshooting form to give us more info on your setup.
There's a troubleshooting form? I've lurked around this forum like crazy and haven't see that. I'll go find it and fill it out. Thanks
Yes, the leaves were sprayed with some sparkling water on two occasions.
Ahhh!
None of that , now! Sparkling mineral drinking water has sodium (bad for plants) and carbonic acid (not good either) and can actually leach nutrients right out of the leaf. That is called 'reverse foliar feeding'.
That explains paleness and crust.

Lights are about 7 inches from tops of plant
Lights are exactly the same as Bodom Children Of's in the Rubbermaid growbox. I have a LITTLE more room but for the most part, mine is identical: Cannabis.com Forums Message Boards - Medical Marijuana, Cannabis Club, Dispensary, News
Plant is 3 weeks old
temp is between 71 and 73 f
lots of ventilation
REally, they look like there is nothing significantly wrong. If your MG soil were causing problems, you would see tip burn.
Filtered water is not necessary, don't worry abotu that. If it is SOFTENED, that is another issue. But normally, water out of the tap is fine. If your well water is alredy quite soft, you might need to addcalmag plus to it. But you will see evidence of Ca deficiency if that is the case.
Cool, thanks! I'll toss the sparkling water then. Yes my well water is filtered in the pump-house. Short of dipping it out of the well itself, I just use this pre-filtered water from the tap. I did use distilled at first but backed off of that after reading some threads here.Quote:

Just double checking: Filtered and softened are different; as long as it is just FILTERED, you are golden. If you notice that the low leaves turn yellow with tan blotches, test the EC of the water and add calmag if necessary.
Will do! I think it's all good but I will indeed keep an eye on this. Thanks again for the help!!Quote:

Looks possibly like a bit of nitrogen deficiency thats turning the leaves yellow. And blotches could be calcium deficiency. Mind you I'm no expert, just a bit of a stab in the dark.
hey thanks...I'll use that info as a booster in my search for a way to fix this problem.

From this it looks like Calcium def. and Nitrogen def. also...
dont add anything to your soil! i honestly dont think its a deficiency. you have been veggin for almost 4 1/2 months now from the looks of your first post. to me i think its going into lockout from too much salts in the soil. also the soil will tend to get acidic if you veg for that long cause the soil gets beaten up and the ph buffers will break down. check your ph run-off and get back to us. it wouldnt hurt to do a proper flush and water with half strength nutes. but check that run-off first and fill out the troubleshooters form!
good advice heh! Unless he's absolutely sure he's lacking nutes.. but yeah if he already has lockout nuting could really mess things :) ever considered buying a ppm reader? I haven't but heh! you should :)Quote:
