Tacoed new growth purple stems

[CarolinaPothead]

Unknown indica, was doing great. 6 weeks old. No nutrients. In soil. All the new growth is lighter and curved leaves. Also have purple stems. Could it be cal-mag deficiency? Under led lights. Help! BTW glad to be a member!

Purple is normally stress,so look at that.Soil needs food, organic or salts so try to keep something in.Id back off the lights a bit,maybe they need a transplant?

Pictures are definitely needed along with more details as to medium especially.

I'll get the pics. I started off in miracle grow performance organics. Yeah I know but it was a bagseed and I was outta ffof. The plant loved it though and grew like a champ for 5 weeks. Dark green fat leaves. Now all the new growth is lighter you can see the veins standing out. The plant stopped getting taller after a month. Thought it might be an auto it grew so fast. Then this... I could flower it but just started a run of ww auto.

There is nothing wrong with miracle grow (looks for lightening) and FFOF is overrated

Thankyou and I did pour about 2 inches of ffof on top 2 weeks ago but I think the mg soil is beat. My lights (1000w quantum board and 600w blurple) are 30 inches away and never bothered It before.

Well how about ya

I was expecting some horror scene

This thing hit 2feet tall in a month. I've tied it down and done a lot of last and light supercropping on a few colas last week. I feel like it's a deficiency. Ive only used LEDs once before and everything was fine. I want this plant to live cause was some o the best I've had

The way o.p. sounded me too, lol!! Not bad

 

[CarolinaPothead]

Watcha think?

 

[PopAndSonGrows]

Watcha think?

My opinion, light might be too close and/or too bright, or canopy temp too high? Some leaves look a teeny bit "tiger striped" typical of magnesium being light. ...? But overall looks healthy.

 

[CarolinaPothead]

I know it ain't too bad yet but I definitely want to get on top of it before gets worse.

 

[Herb & Suds]

Watcha think?

I think I might reassess my position on precharged soil

 

[CarolinaPothead]

Temps always between 68 and 70. And it was under same light distance and power since seedling

 

[PopAndSonGrows]

If you have a smartphone less than 3 yrs old, download a free PAR/PPFD app, keeping in mind it's no Apogee, but it's more accurate than "eyeballing", back of hand method still great for feeling out temps assuming you're not a welder with dead calloused hands lol

 

[CarolinaPothead]

The auto ww"s are doing well in straight ffof. Under same lights/distance 210 actual wall watts and 30 inches away

 

[PopAndSonGrows]

Hmm. . ...now I'm a coco grower and know little to jack about soil but, I once had a root issue due to poor watering habits that i recall kinda looked like this? . . .? How's your watering habits?

 

[CarolinaPothead]

I wish I had more light. But I did grow a 6.5 foot sativa to full flower under those lights. Just had to defoliate lower stuff. Some of lower was larfy but I got 80g cured. So over .6 per watt. Not stellar but ok for my first led grow and first period in 22 years.
