First grow with cfls and bag seed

[Richol]

got some sad news a got a hermi man that sucks

but oh well at least i still got one good plant the runt which is day 21 of flowering for her

i think i'll let the other one grow can i just pick off the pollen sacs as they form so it wont mess up the other ladie?

so my fan leaves on my runt have turned purple could this be the low 60's at lights out or just the strain?

[Richol]

ok now the bottom bud sites their stems are startin to turn purple anyone have their's turn that way?

[babybackribs]

I don't think there's anything wrong when it turns purple, at least I've never seen a problem with a purple plant. Probably just the strain.

You can keep picking the balls off and you may still be able to get some bud from the hermie. It's not always a loss. Just keep it on a regular schedule, keep picking the balls off, and make sure there are NO LIGHT LEAKS WHATSOEVER.

Happy tokin'

thanks for the info babyBR and i went ahead and threw away the hermie since i dont have that many cfls i figured i would just focus all the lights on the runt and its gettin there slowly but surly

man cant wait till thanksgiving i figure the runt should be close to being ready so i might pick out a sample and then enjoy my Thanksgiving with my family :jointsmile:

If the bag it came from wasn't purple than i think you might have a problem. Possible deficiency, micro nutrients. Could be the cold, not sure but i think the plants telling you theres something wrong. Better to be safe than sorry. Good luck!

Not claiming to be an expert but if your plant is turning purple and the strain of bud you got the seed from ISN'T a purple plant, then you've got a problem. It could be a number of things, low temp in the grow-room are definately one thing that I've seen turn plants purple. Try keeping the temps., around 70-82, and humidity, under 50%. And see if that helps.

I think it is im about 99% sure i checked the temp this mornin and it was at 56 f the humidity was at 70 those are the night temps in the day the temps are at 75-85 f and the humidity at 37-44

i also noticed the very top fan leaves from under were slowly turning purple and i read some where thats p def so i uped the dosage and i got me some unsulfured molasses so hopefully that will help

thanks for the info guys

plants defo go purple when cold and the cold stunts growth, and ive read in a grow book that if a plant pollinates its self (hermi) then the seeds r most likely female.
