Thanks so much for your input, i thought about it and what you say is generally true with my grow! Took your advice, ditch the 'mirricle' and got my hands on bio bloom. This is my first grow. Will let them dry as usual and feed just water and proceed the feeding soon.

To be honest there was a couple of hours where my light did drop into the pot and burn a few leaves, when i saw them like this against the purple stems i guess i paniced! Wernt thinking clear.

I was mostly worried about over stressing it or even disease which could effect my whole crop and reduce my harvest greatly.

Again thanks, will post an update with pics on this in a week or 2 if intrested.
alexstreet Reviewed by alexstreet on . Help! Purple viens, withering new leaves! (Pics) Himalayan Gold, topped early once. Noticed purple viens stretching from the top of the stem to near enough the bottom around 4th week of veg. Now in week 5 the purpleing viens have darkened and newer leaves are beggining to twist, deform and not grow. The mean stem seems to have stopped growing and becoming weaker. Only used mirricle grow a few times (standard dose). I also have 3 other Himalayan Golds that were FIM'd, they also have slight purple viens but very healthy. I am using 250w Rating: 5
