Purple Leaves?

cdougy · Apr 4, 2011

I've got some leaves turnin purple on my plants. I thought it was just one of em but its starting to happen to another. Is this a problem? I heard it can be due to it being too cold at night in the room? Its my first grow so sorry if this is a noob question! :thank you:

BTW i'm at week

12 since transplanting from clone,

Been in flower for 4.5 weeks.

will try and get some pics up.. ones i took were too high res, need to redo em

I have had the same thing happen my room never gets below 55 - 60 then I figured out my ph pen is broken and have been feeding at a ph of less than 4 so i chalked it up to phosphorus lockout

nothing wrong with a little fall coloring! check out the lakers colors on mine..nugs were still frosty as hell and high grade....if you get these colors in veg though, not good.

They certainly look perky and happy! I would be happy with that structure in my cab. Unfortunately I cannot comment extensively on your purpling, other than it does not appear (in my limited experience) to be an issue, but rather a coloration of the leaves themselves.

I have one clone at the moment that came to me with similar coloring on the fan leaves, and appears to be doing just fine (no stem purpling, ect).

Thanks man! I am flowering 2 other strains right now and they are def not as big as those buds, but looking good. I'm just glad I'm on the right track for the 1st grow, I have heard of people needing a few tries to even get to harvesting.

its kind of hard to look at the colors with the HPS on but, they look healthy alright.

fook yeah they do. :yes:

nice work, first grow or not. try to pull one out and get a pic under a regular light so we can see the colors. usually when they turn purple you are doing something right, not to mention it is the really "in" thing lol to get purple or crazy color nugs. sometimes you get reds and yellows (beautiful stuff, yesprop!!). and yup mostly from temps, but has to be present somewhere in the genes to happen. (meaning not every strain will purple out with cold temps, but the ones that have the gene for it almost exclusively tend to do so with colder temps).

i just flipped on the central air, and within less than two days had a couple G-13 x Deep Chunk girls at day 42 in bloom go from green, in the first 3 pics...
