Maybe your plants aren't receiving enough Phosphorous. Maybe a plant food like 10-52-10 might help. Miracle grow has one. Just a guess.

just wondering, im pretty sure i got the same problem, if u check out a post in this forum(the pest forum) done by potluvr I think the post is called Leaves turning blackish purple or something, well check it out, its got a picture so if its the same post post back if not post back as well, give it some ferts, i myself havent fixed the problem but yea give it some ferts with more phosphorus.

What to do if you have an unidentified nute problem:
FLUSH
Test pH of the runoff
Water with weak nutrient solution that has been pH adjusted
Monitor new growth for signs of healthy growth

hey guys, and curious 101 what stinkyattic said is completely true, but atleast in my situation i dont beleive thats the problem, with mine, i got my water tested and the run off and the ph was normal, i then did a ec(ppm) test and found that the run off of my water is actually way to low in nutes for early flowering Mine was .4 and i was told that during flowering it should be 2.3 then gradually go down to about 1 and then when u crop it should be .4 - .3. anyways hope this helps, and get ur ph tested and and ec test also if possible.

i have two other plants, three total withing 3 ft of each other and all have recieved the same treatment, the one with the problem is in the middle and matches exactly to the pic, i may check the ph just to be safe but i'm thinking if the problem persists it may be genetic and i'm thinking of just pulling it out of the ground because it becoming very irritating

[Kevin Spencer]

just make sure dude that it hasnt spread onto the other plants because there pretty much fucked if they did....sorry bro, i know u checkdd the pic, but maybe check that post again, harddon was saying to give them superthrive which i cant get a hold of i have to order so i didnt, and water with corn syrup....i have no idea whats in the corn syrup or how much to use per gallon(litre) and harddon hasnt messaged me back yet so idk i really dont bro....sorry.

[stinkyattic]

Could be rot of some sort. Silica and Potassium to prevent it.

[curious101]

can't wait to see if this works, i've got some superthrive from the store and will post the results in a few days, its great to know of a family of smokers who are willing to help one another...thanks all
