Hello, Has it been hot there ? I see the deep veins usually because the plant is trying to dissipate heat The Purple could just be genetics. salt issues can cause curling too but it really don't look like that, but don't exclude that, to many nutrients can cause lockout and then salt build up starts
Best of luck![]()
Taco/canoe is usually heat/respiration.Thanks
No not hot, buy friend used old lime that was chunky.
Light and heat stress, for sure.Aloha.
My friend has this problem with his outdoor plants.
The new growing tips are turning a purplish color, and the leaves kinda taco like a Venus fly trap.
Any ideas?
I don't think it's TMV at all.Any possibility of tobacco mosaic virus!?!
Glad to have ran across this. I too have had bad issues this year in my guerilla grow with purple tips/leaves on the new growth. Mine was worse in June and July and seem to be coming out of it. I started raising my phosphorus and cutting back on the K. I have noticed when I overuse seaweed and kelp products I get this symptom and have learned that too much blocks out the uptake of phosphorus.
I'm also a little stuck on it quiet possibly being a disease as well, and I have never had an issue with it until this current year/season.
I am fixing to hit mine with a fungicide called FLINT by Bayer. Purchased it last year to use against budrot and it worked. Stops it in its tracks and has a low toxicity level, have never in 17 years had a product work so well for botrytis. Its quiet expensive as I gave over 200 bucks for a very small container of it but it was worth a thousand dollars or more in the end and a little goes a hell of a long way. I need to be starting it soon anyway to keep down chances of a disease outbreak starting, as prevention.
Lets keep each other updated with this, seems like a serious issue that we need to be taking notes on and experimenting with. The affected growth I notice is stunted as well. I know with low P levels or deficiency comes with red/purple stems as well which mine are also exhibiting. It is also more on one particular strain (1969 Uncle Festers Skunk#18 ) than it is on others.
This is what the start of the Black Death looks like over here in Hawaii. It causes some weird leaf deformations and dark purple splotches on the leaves too.Glad to have ran across this.

Hmmm...I just snipped 6 tops off three different plants yesterday due to blacking on new growth. I had no idea what it was but thought maybe a P deficiency or possible fungus, although it doesn’t rub off. Hoping it’s just a Phosphorus def....
Your pics dont show the mutated leaf serrations so it could be something else. If you start seeing new fan leaves with abnormal serrations, then youll know for sure. Could just be your genetics or another issue.
