Not Purple Bud, Nore is it cold!! Why Purple, Fungus, Early Sign Of Bud Rot?

[joshuuaa23]

How you doing folks, im in some need of some real help, my outside girls "all sexed" are all just now starting to flower, pre flowers on some.. 2 to 3 weeks ago i notice on one plant inbetween shoots there was a purple like color forming, in quite a bit of shoots all that plant as a mater of fact.. over the next couple days i started to check the rest of the plants top to bottum and notice that its on them as well, not all are as bad as the first but i can see more and more everyday.. I know some will say its a good thing being purple and all but im going to list a couple variables why i think its not and im looking for any info at all that u can give me, biggest fear beginning of bud rot even before then start to bud, i did my research on here and ordered Greencure just in case if anyone knows what this is well this work?.. here are the variables that im talking about, this is my first post im hoping im doing all right let me know if im not..

-Live in New York, not humid much at all maybe couple days out the month if at all
-there has been a heat wave for weeks thou but not that humid and diff not wet, creeks all over county are almost dry
-has not been cold at night to bring the purple on..
-about 4 or 5 different strains, came from a mixed bag, diff not all purple bud if any at all..

here are the pics, please help with any experiance??

Side, larger view please, (as in the height, etc.... also soil, nutes, containers etc.... list all of the variables so all may see & possibly pitch in with some information?

Phosphorus

Phosphorus is a component of certain enzymes and proteins, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), ribonucleic acids (RNA), deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) and phytin. ATP is involved in various energy transfer reactions, and RNA and DNA are components of genetic information.

Phosphorus (P) deficiency

(P) deficiency during flowering. Fan leaves are dark green or red/purple, and may turn yellow. Leaves may curl under, go brown and die. Small-formed buds are another main symptom.

Phosphorus deficiencies exhibit slow growing, weak and stunted plants with dark green or purple pigmentation in older leaves and stems.

Some deficiency during flowering is normal, but too much shouldn't be tolerated. Red petioles and stems are a normal, genetic characteristic for many varieties, plus it can also be a co-symptom of N, K, and Mg-deficiencies, so red stems are not a foolproof sign of P-deficiency. Too much P can lead to iron deficiency.

Purpling: accumulation of anthocyanin pigments; causes an overall dark green color with a purple, red, or blue tint, and is the common sign of phosphate deficiency. Some plant species and varieties respond to phosphate deficiency by yellowing instead of purpling. Purpling is natural to some healthy ornamentals.

I would say give it a couple weeks. The heat can bring this on as a stress. if its still there after that I would see how it is effecting the plant at the time. The heat can cause rapid growth giving you a short term problem. I wouldn't panic.

i don't think its a sign of defiency, your plants look decently healthy. Because theyr'e outdoors, even though its not getting cold yet, temps are starting to drop considerably at night. These are just at the growth tips as well, no where else on the plant. You'll also notice that the leaves lose this purple coloring as they growth outwards from each node....they start purple and turn green. I've seen it happen many times with indoor and outdoor plants, and it always comes with the fall/winter temperature dip.

Some plants are very finicky when it comes to temperature and humidity. Depending on your genetics, your probably growing a strain originating from SE Asia or the middle east. A 10 degree drop in temperature is a huge deal to a plant that's might be genetically programed to flourish in hot weather. These pain in the ass strains always seem to be the dank though..........
