My plant turned reddish for a few days when the temp dropped to 70 due to a cold streak here, but returned back to green pretty quickly. The cold also seemed to bring out a more fruity smell that also faded when the temp went back to normal...These plants are truly strange
redtails Reviewed by redtails on . purple leaves (PICS) plant is about 10 weeks into flowering, started seeing purple about 4 weeks ago. I seen a post somewhere from the 2001 edition of jorge cervantes grow bible that said purple leaves is possibly from too much salt build up so i flushed them out and have been giving them straight ph'd tap water for the last 2.5 weeks. The plants have only gotten more purple since the flush And i don't know what is causing it. Help What is your experience level? (first timer, novice, experienced...) (novice) Rating: 5
